Produces good cricketers though

 

[Hawks2011]

Played junior footy with Tom Mitchell, Jack Viney, Toby Greene and Tom Curren. Fair to say we had a good team

 

[Dee Won]

MWSC
Brett Thornton, was a year below me, used to occasion play some lunchtime footy with him.

Funny story I was friends with his older brother and in year 12 we thought he got drafted by freo (Scott).

 

[ZEV]

Sam Gilbert and David armitage

 

[Danny Cullen]

St Louis/John XXIII

Tony Buhagiar
Matt De Boer

Probably heaps of WAFL blokes from the old days.

Underrated post

All the private schools are boasting players they poached with scholarships. Geelong College had Curnow, Schofield, Henderson, and Saunders for St.Kilda to name a few. Our school did not offer scholarships. Also was a boy/girl school so considering they don't have as big a pool of talent it is a pretty strong record.

 

[Bardo State]

Still go to Parade, here's a doc with 101 known ex-players

Quite a few notable ex-players, Jock McHale, Charlie Cameron, Alphonsus Kyne, Owen Abrahams, Sergio Silvagni, Peter McKenna, Peter Bedford, Brad Boyd, Daniel Harford, Blake Caracella, Ben Johnson and Trent Cotchin

Tony Lockett went to the school that ended up being the VCE campus of of Ballarat Secondary, the only AFL player of one of my schools I know of, but not a bad one- most goals ever! Most Ballarat kids with footy talent went through St Pats I think...

 

[Moquo]

Primary School:-
Neil Roberts
Carl Ditterich
Con Gorozides

When I arrived at High School, the team had Mark Lee in the ruck and Dale Weightman as rover, with Michael Roberts and probably a few I've missed as well.

Mighty Ashburton Redbacks . I was the year above, played a few games with Toby and Tom Mitchell. Jack lived over the back from us as well, ripper bloke. Didn't know Curren that well though, but his uncle teaches at my old school.

Anyway, we at the mighty De La Salle College have players such as Jack Dyer, Andrew Carrazzo and... that's it I think. Oh well, Ashton Agar makes up for it, as well as the maker of Harvey Krumpet.

 

[Baird]

Dane Swan
Matthew Lloyd
Jude Bolton
Joe Daniher
Liam Mcbean
Schroder(Geelong)
Hayden Kennedy(umpired 496 afl games)

Jaxson Barham, Tim Callan, David Clarke, Piers Flanagan and Jeremy Taylor also. We haven't had a great record.

Don't you love how people use acronyms for their schools (especially when the same acronym would be used by dozens - if not hundreds - of other schools in the country) like they're supposed to mean something to people who grew up in the same city, let alone people on the other side of the country?

Been going on forever in different ways, with certain schools. I believe Cameron Bruce is the only Melbourne High Old Boy who has even come close to playing in the AFL in the past 15 years, yet it was a steady production line back in the days of the old U19s, many of them Richmond and Melbourne recruits from the country and interstate.

Once the TAC Cup came in and centrally-located schools stopped being particularly convenient for elite young footballers who needed to get to their training the AFL recruits stopped coming through.

Rhyce Shaw
Heath Shaw
Jack Grimes
*Ben Lennon
A few others but can't remember who

 

[Jak!x]

St. Pat's College -
Tom Bellchambers wasn't allowed to graduate until he paid off his library fines
Mitch Thorp (along with both his brothers)
Also Jackson Thurlow and the Kolodjashnij twins (who'll be drafted this year)

 

[H E Pennypacker]

Yes. My nan taught there and Brett Heady was there.

Pretty sure Nathan Van Berlo (and probably his brother Jay) was Sacred Heart as well.

 

[Donners]

Ryan O'Keefe was a few years above me. His late brother was in my year level. The Scott brothers went there too, and Robert Shaw was my substitute teacher a few times.
