Small thing that annoys me.
Was mentioned again in the media this week that McCartney taught us how to defend, and beveridge has come in to put the finishing touches on the attacking game plan.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Our D under McCartney was utterly abysmal. The drink is a defensive genius.

Anyways.....
Exactly right. If McCartney did anything it was instill a contested ball focus. The rest is all Bev.

After what Max Gawn said on 360 about how little people went to public school at the dees (not that big of a shock) I was wondering if there was anywhere to find where our players went to school? Or if anyone knows where a few went.

I know of a couple (Macrae and Hrovat went to Carey Grammar together, Webb at Caufield, Bontempelli at Marcelin) but was wondering if anyone knows the majority?

Oh, and the obvious one of our three gun f/s's at St Bernards and St Kevins.

As other have said Barnes hit him off the ball, that then sparked a melee at half time so there was a lot of feeling in the match.

One of the all time great home & away games.

The Chief says Matthew Lloyd was, "..looking for the free kick, too...".

Ha ha One of the all time great Captain Obvious statements! :p

So from what I can find out..

Matthew Suckling -
Bob Murphy -
Mitch Wallis - St Bernards
Marcus Bontempelli - Marcellin
Matty Boyd - Mazenod
Luke Dahlhaus - St Josephs
Lachie Hunter - St Kevins
Stewart Crameri -
Jake Stringer - Catholic College Bendigo (until year 10, then left school)
Easton Wood - Geelong Grammar
Jack Macrae - Carey Grammar
Zaine Cordy - Geelong College
Nathan Hrovat - Carey Grammar
Clay Smith -
Toby McLean -
Tom Boyd - Luther College
Fletcher Roberts -
Lukas Webb - Caufield Grammar
Josh Dunkley -
Tom Liberatore - St Bernards
Mitch Honeychurch -
Jordan Roughead - Damascus College
Shane Biggs -
Koby Stevens -
Declan Hamilton -
Will Minson -
Josh Prudden -
Tory Dickson -
Joel Hamling -
Bailey Dale -
Kieren Collins - Haileybury College
Marcus Adams -
Bailey Williams -
Caleb Daniel -
Brad Lynch -
Rourke Smith -
Dale Morris -
Jason Johannisen -
Luke Goetz -
Liam Picken -
Jack Redpath - Dunno where, but left school at 16 to become a chippy.

Would also be interesting to know who did either prep to year 12 or year 7 to year 12 compared to who came in late on a scholarship. Only one I know the answer to is Macrae who started at Carey in grade prep.

I don't know why I have an interest in this stuff, but I do.

Murph was at Marist Sion in Warragul. Wouldn't call it a private school, it was a small town Catholic high. Somewhere between the grammar school and the tech.
