Player Connections

[1981]

In my opinion we are building a special group. Not only do we have a plethora of young talent at the club but there's a number of talented young players on our list who in some way or another are connected to each other, which surely can only be a good thing and an added bonus in terms of team culture and comeraderie.

Garlett and Pickett are cousins.

Dow and O'Brien are mates, and Dow, O'Brien and Schumacher all stem from Bendigo.

There's two Silvagni's who are related and another might join in twelve months.

Can anyone else think of any other tight connections?

About 20 years ago I went with Mil Hanna’s dad to Carlton vs Richmond at the MCG.

I know it doesn’t have much to do with the thread but I’ve been waiting to tell that story since I signed up on BF.

Jarryd Roughead played in a T20 game for my cricket club last week...pretty sure he took my spot in the team...

I was on the scorebook though...so it kinda counts as playing with him?

Doc and Dow happened to be on the same Virgin flight to the gold coast with their families 11 years ago.

Tom De Koning played junior footy at Mt Martha, which was also Weitering's junior club.

Tom's dad Terry was/is a junior coach there and may have had an involvement with Weiters when he was an early pre-production model.......pretty sure.....

citroen got crushed - 285,000kms - enough already...........pretty sure........

Dane Swan is coming out of retirement to play some games for Westmeadows in 2018. I played some games for Westmeadows in 1978 so I suppose that makes us team mates.

Is there a secret hand shake?

Is there a secret hand shake?

Shake, reverse shake, fist pump, nod, thumb war, wink, pass the ice pipe.....

Jimmae would like to point out that Jacob Weitering played at the same junior club and shares a personal trainer* with our first selection in this years draft - Luke Davies-Uniacke.




*presumably no bobsledding exercises

 

[Jabba73]

Reckon some of our boys train at the same place too.

Must live near each other
