Gippsland

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Is there something in the water in Eastern Victoria? We seem to be building a team of Gippslanders at the moment. On the weekend we had four Gippslanders line up for the Pies - Blair, Maccaffer, Pendelbury and Goldsack. Throw in Steele Sidebottom who came from a bit further north and that part of the state is certainly a pool of talent for Collingwood these days!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure Blair and Macaffer are both from the same part of the world - the Phillip Island-Wonthaggi area

You can't really include Steele in this discussion. Shepparton is nowhere near Gippsland. If you're going to include Steele, then you may as well throw in Dayne Beams

Only Pendles and Leroy come from the eastern side powerstations {predominant wind direction comes from the southwest} and the Caff comes from my local club Kilcunda-Bass,and Blairy comes from Wonthaggi,and played for Wonthaggi Power,and these days I find there are more mutants living in the city than Gippy. p.s Your real names not Blinky?

Go the Gippy Pies!

Nope, its not Blinky.

Is Paul Hudson still on our coaching staff? Didn't he coach Gippsland around the time we picked up pendle, daisy, caff and co?

It's a good zone. It is where Hawthorn built there power/premiership sides of the 80's from.

I think we forgot Dale Thomas - isnt he from Drouin?
