couple of old werribee boys in chris gilham and paul carson at west/st peters, lukey forbes was a joeys junior (mainly in there 2nd team in the 18's) before crossing to thomson then returnig back to joeys after 2 or 3 seaons then played with VFL. Ross Dylan from bannock to bell park and also brett harding went to bell park and played good footy, just to name a couple.

No doubt the Gdfl teams have produced some handy GFL senior players over the years. Corio have produced some talent:
Ricky O'Toole-St Joeys, Mark Stewart-St Albans, Frank Fopiani-North Shore, Leigh Clifford-North Shore. Even Michael Mostert and Mark O'Toole played a couple of useful seasons at St Marys. I'm sure there would be more.
Bannockburn have produced a few that have been mentioned and I think Aaron Broom will do well at Bell Park this year.
North Geelong have produced Hardman, Anjelkovic was ok at North Shore, Daniel Gibbs had a good season at North Shore too after crossing from North Geelong.
Nathan and Matthew Lewis from Bell Post Hill to North Shore.

He did play some good senior games but his last two years at Joeys were spent in the ressies so he did leave Joeys as a reserves player.

What about the reverse, GDFL players going to the GFL and playing well. Leigh Hardman for sure. Played very well at Lara last year... Anyone else?

I agree abut hardingham and some others. Woods was 1 when he went to west from bannock and also mullane-grant. Big stretch to claim Carson though. Played 1 season in GDFL with Gilham when he finished at VFL. Now claiming him like a long time player!

Will add a few more for thought over recent times if ya want to go back a few years, Butch Shaw, Mark Stewart, Frank Fopiani, Wayne Tyquin, Nathan Lewis, Ricky O;Toole, Lee Clifford, Nathan Reid, Brent Grgic, Matty Firman, Marty Barbaro, Scott McDonald, Troy Renfrey, Warwick Knuckey, missed a heap more just a few that spring to mind

Leigh Clifforrd dont think he is in the catergory with thoses names you put in, he is solid player but is not a gun like the rest of the players you have put in:confused:

well said 19th man, drago is just having a dig at corio, as he bawked the question to him a while back regarding East Geelongs recruiting.
thats drago though, talks in riddles about East topics and if too hard just goes missing.
loves to gossip about every other clubs affairs!
are u going around again drago?
I think you should pull up stumps mate, too old and soft.

Pulled up stumps a long time ago because as you said I am too old and was too soft thats why I spend my time speculating on here as I cant do it on the park anymore.
Also the whole reason for these forums is to gossip about other clubs and therefore I will add my 2 cents when I feel I should.
Finally to complete a response to your post if you are refering to my response about the history of recruiting at East I think you will see that I agreed with your point that the club had been sub-par in that area for a long time but looks to have finally adressed that with a more agressive approach last year.
If you want to know about potential recruits fo 2008 at this stage I couldn't tell you. The club (or the people that run the club) are keeping their cards very close to their chest about potential recruits. They have been very active but just not advertising the results as they understand that a signature in December may not mean a clearance in February.

Darren Aitken has signed with BPH. He was down at training last week and from all reports he is pulling on the boots for BPH. Word is they are going to look after him, as he was playing for nothing a Corio last year. When up and fit, he will be hard to stop. Will be a big loss for Corio.

seems like a good bloke apperently is a freak. aitken wont play round 1 will be worried about playing against corio.
 
corio will be a nice test id say for the panthers first round. will be good to see if there will be any new young blokes in either side to go with the older guys

yer i agree. round 1 is a block buster for a few teams. Thompson V Banno should be good also.
