How many ex AFL/VFL/SANFL players in the league now

AFL
Josh Jenkins (SL)
Adam Pattison (SL)
Mitch Farmer (CAL)
Ross Young (D)
Dean Putt (CAL)
Matt Austin (B)
Josh Caddy? (S)

VFL
Nick Rippon (BIR)
Oscar Brownless (SL)
Mitch Jensen (W)
Darby Schilder (STA)
Dyson Bell-warren (D)
Meyrick Buchanan (BIR)
Matthew Wade (CL)
Jack Exell (CL)
Steven Kennedy (CL)
David Isbister (CL)
James Keeble (B)
Carlos Egan (B)

Dale Hinkley (BIR)
Rhys Thompson (C)

SANFL
Ben Edwards (BIR)
Ryan O’Sullivan (SL)
Zac Phillips (STA)
Bailey Nicholas (STA)
Jackson McMahon (SL)
Lachlan Ryan (BIR)

They make up about 12% (26/209) of the players who have played seniors in the NCFL. Pretty elite for country footy I would’ve thought

A fair few current/ex TAC players as well
Wade Donnan
Sam Simmons
Billy McInnes
Zane Keighran
Will Perryman
Ben Hogan
Koby Hommelhoff
Mitch Collins
Ben Xiriha
Bill Lee
Ben Lakin
Riley Hogan
Kobe Lloyd
Kayne Rutley
Thomas Cox
Trent Donnan
Torin Petrie
Sean Holroyd
Rhona Conboy
Jordan Bath
Jake Pallpratt
Jordan Humphreys

I’m probably missing a few as well

AFL premiership winner Ryan McGhie would be one

Huge win last week and flat as a tack today. Hard to rate any of the top sides just yet I reckon
Yep I think the thing is that Calder might just be starting to gel. Humphreys back a huge plus, coupled with good onballers they will continue to improve. Will be interesting as we get nearer the finals and teams start to stabilise as most teams are missing important players at the moment. Jensen at Redbacks sorely missed, the whisper out of the Burn is that he is one of the best recruits they have had for a few years.
 
If they are playing blokes what a fella told me today they are all in this year. $800 a week for a kid out of the Calder Cannons who hadnt played a senior game one example.

Wedderburn were ok today. Got within 4 points about 5 minutes into the last quarter and had the momentum. Palpratt whacked a bloke and got sent off and it was all bulls after that.

The lions have the most improvement in them as a side, I think theyll get even better in the second half of the yearv
Where is excell playing if hump is playing FF. Few big bags for the Calder coach against quality opposition .
Is he going to be a threat come finals

I actually managed to get up there for a look.
Fair to say Jack Excel isn’t the main man down there anymore, very impressed by the coach Humphrey, he is going to cause some headaches for the opposition.

Way to early tips 😂
Sea lake beat Charlton by 160
Wedderburn beat Donald by 170
Calder beat St Arnaud by 180
Birchip beat Boort by 60

Sea lake are back to their best. Jenkins will play and kick 8. McKenzie to have 30 and 5 and Cox and Donnan for 40 each.

Wedderburn will smoke Donald. Donald won’t score. Holt to kick 6. Hamish Lockhart, Metherall, Mitch McEwan, Jackson McEwan all to have 30+

Calder have found their groove and the saints are just not performing. Don’t know who goes to Humphreys from their list. Hump and Exell to kick 8 each

Birchip hurt boort just a little bit more after last week. Would’ve tipped by more but it is at Boort
 
How are the Pallpratt brothers going at Wedderburn? I see they have been named in the best most weeks but Jake hasn’t played each game. Has he been injured?
