OK, WWB you've got me thinking. Stand By for the FDFL/WRFL allstars.

 

[Captain Sensible]

H-Backs- C. Sutton (C-Coach of premiership team E.J. Whitten(Do I need to say anything?) R. Smith(All Australian)

Centres-D. Hawkins (Local Hero extrordinare, All Oz, etc.) A. Hopkins (Brownlow Medalist) G. Maclaren (My uncle once told me he was the best player he saw, Whitten aside)

H-forwards-A.Stoneham (Vic Rep) L. Sandilands (club captain) I. MacApline(vic rep, early champion)

Forwards- R. Gronewegen- J. Collins(All sorts of reasons) S. Kolyniuk (one of my favorites)

To Be Amended

I will amend the side later when I can research it better.

The above side was of the top of my head. There must be heaps of blokes I've left out, and others I'm not sure of. IE Arthur Olliver-if he was a local then he will be in for R. Groenewegan.


Otherwise what a team-could any other local/country league better it? And how many champs have Braybrook churned out? Unreal

 

[Waltzing Woof Biscuit]

Phew LY,

Handy as the WA All Stars may be, your team craps on them! There is a fair smattering of Team Of The Century about it.

OK - how about the Gippsland All Stars?? Bound to be a few good ones in there...

PS - I bow to your obvious knowledge of the local league. I grew up playing footy in the namby pamby eastern suburbs

 

[Captain Sensible]

A Latrobe Valley team would be good. Quinlan, Round, Templeton all won Brownlows. Jennings, Cordy etc.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Before I forget-add the name D. Giansiracusa(I love listening to my 2 y-o say that name) to the local boy list.

 

[Bulldogsroar]

and hear is the interchange for the WA team and Coach

S Hargreave (father of Ryan , a big CHF who came with big wraps but got injured immediately and played 2 games )

Tim Gepp

Dennis Blair

Daniel Southern

Coach Dennis Cometti, played practice matches and maybe a reserves game in 1971, made the list.

 

[Bulldogsroar]

as for the local team what about

S West !!!

 

[Captain Sensible]

S. West came from Keilor, not in FDFL or WRFL.
Just as a matter of interest Ricky ollerenshaw and Scot west lived in a street that was divided by a recruiting line between us and Essendon. Scott was a rabid Essendon supporter and Ricky was a rabid Footscray fan.
For once, things went our way!

 

[Waltzing Woof Biscuit]

How could I forget DANNY????????????????????????

And I couldn't remember for sure whether Gepp was a Sandgroper, so I left him out.

And how about a team of VFA Doggies?? Folks, put your lives on hold tonight!

 

[Captain Sensible]

Gee and the cricket and 'Talking Richmond' is on tonight.
By the way its DANIEL(just kidding)

 

[Top Dog]

LOL 2 true, dont u wanna smash them both.......

 

[Captain Sensible]

I've just been checking up on players from Braybrook and I counted something like 21 or 22 that have played at the Doggies.
These include players such as Ted Whitten, Doug Hawkins, Brian Wilson, Wally Donald, Denis Collins, Alan Stoneham, Wayne Foreman and Ray Walker. How many other local clubs could choose their own team of AFL players?
