Best players to play AFL/VFL from Canberra

[Brentford26]

The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for some information on players that have played VFL/AFL but played much of their footy or were recruited from Canberra.

Examples are James Hird, Jason Tutt etc. I'm just looking for people's opinions on the greatest player to be produced from Canberra, any information would be appreciated.

To add to this, if anyone knows of a local player who was never drafted but their stats show something amazing put them in there. My idea is that I want the best local talent ever produced.

One of the greatest of all would be Alex Jesaulenko:

Jezza would've been my pick with Hird a close 2nd. What to people think of someone like Shaun Smith?

To add to this there are currently 3 players running around in the AFL at the moment. Tutt (Bulldogs) and Phil Davis and Josh Bruce (GWS).

Brucey's older brother was apparently alright and is still going good at Eastlake, never played a game for the Swans however.

Players to never played at AFL level, but IMO probably should have

Tony Wynd
Jimmy Black
Robert Anderson ?
Manson Brothers
Geoff Harold
Trevor White
Brett Hannam
Robert Franklin.
Edney Blackaby

Probably a stack more.
