Re: The Best Breeding Ground

Hey,
Everytime a bloke gets a posession, the commentators always say, doing Colac Proud.
So, i understand that Colac have bred current players such as:
Luke Hodge- hawks
Jonothan Brown- Lions
NAthan Foley- Tigers
Amon Buchanan- Swans
Joffy Simkin- Swans

Im sure theres more.
Apart from major cities, what other places has produced such talent?
cheers

Lucas comes from Camperdown which is just a few kms from there.

Darwin has about 80,000 people. The whole NT has only 200,000.
Do either count?

Re: The Best Breeding Ground

No doubt about it the western District of Victoria is one of the best breeding grounds for footballers atm.

My home town of Bendigo which has been traditionally strong. still have a good number of footballers.

Re: The Best Breeding Ground

Wouldnt really coumt that as home grown as a large portion if noy most of these players were recruited to east freo from other clubs.

Umm. I guess you mean junior clubs in the East Fremantle zones. Also Q.Lynch was from West Perth

Re: The Best Breeding Ground

East Freo do alright

Thats a feeder club. They hardly all grew up there together.

Re: The Best Breeding Ground

true

i think he was bought up in Warnambool after being born in Colac, where he lived the early years of his life

 

[go fullta]

when the likes of amon buchanan and luke hodge played for colac, they were playing in the hampden league!!!

i recall watching them 2 dominate in an u18 game, whilst the finals were on!!

Re: The Best Breeding Ground

Over the years, the Latrobe Valley have had a few reasonable players running around in the VFL/AFL

Bernie Quinlan
Kelvin Templeton
Gary Ablett
Tom Alvin
Brian Royal
Barry Round
Barry Rowlings
Kevin Ablett

to name a few.

All were recruited during a time that it was as hard to commit to city life as it was to commit to the requirements of the best footy in the land.

Couple of Brownlows there too.

All of Brown's family live just outside of Warrnambool

 

[Buster the hawk]

South east victoria isn't too bad either .Lot of former Gippsland Power players running around in the comp.

Re: The Best Breeding Ground

Honestly, i swear ive heard it at least 5 times.........mainly when Luke Hodge gets it.

Brown was born in colac i think, his dad also coached and played at Colac footy club i think???

Jonathon Brown's father is a thug from South Warrnambool.

OK maybe that's harsh but a lot of people think so.

 

[mozza0311]

WTF!!! Bomber gal (Jonathon Brown's father is a thug from South Warrnambool.) You dont even know him.

Damn Colac should not be in the Hampden League. You have to drive for about 100 minutes to get to Colac and then spend another 15 minutes looking for the bloody oval.

I don't consider Warrnambool and Colac to be in the same "zone."

 

[Merv]

thoughts??

How are the "hounds" going J?
