I cant claim I went to school with any decent footballers but Michael Broadbridge (assistant coach at Collingwood) was my phys-ed teacher at Lesmurdie SHS.

That the school I went to. I knew about the current players You can also add to the list former umpire John Harvey to that list.

Was there when Aaron Hamil came down from Canberra to Melbourne. I also went to school at the same time as Koularotis at the St Marys the junior school (years 7-10)

I was in the same Form at High School as Jumping Jack Mihocek who wore No 8 for the Bombers after Des Tudenham went back to Collingwood.

MGREG ... you're showing your age there old son!

I played a season under Jack in the Footscray District League in the 80's (86 or 87) and was delivered one of the most hilarious yet pathetically uninspired quarter time sermons from a coach (jack) in history.

To the huddle - "you're doing all right fellas, you're not getting a kick but you're doin' all right!"

I think its him.
It's weird that there were two players named Dion Miles playing AFL at the same time.There was one for North,spelt Miles.The other played for Sydney and was spelt Myles.

Or was it the other way ? :confused:
 
Haileybury College -
Brett Moyle (Saints)
Paul Corrigan (Cats, I think may have been school vice-captain)
Brett O'Farrell (Swans, Hawks)
Stepehn Rode (Hawks)

Other VFL/AFL players to have come from Haileybury over the years include:
James Thiessen (Tigers/Crows)
Ian Herman (Blues/Tigers)
Rod Galt (Carlton leading goalkicker 1978)
Robert Rose (Dogs/Pies, also represented Victoria in cricket)
Sean Ralphsmith (Hawks/Saints)

no AFL players to come out of Waverley College in Sydney, but one of our lesser rivals Shore have nurtured Lewis Robert-Thompson.

In Rugby Union however, there are plenty from the school - 3 of the current Wallabies squad went to Waverley (Owen Finegan, Morgan Turuniu and Adam Freier) as has Australia League Player Luke Ricketson.

I spose so, I'm pretty sure I remember Fabian his brother going to my school cos he's my friends cousin. But I thought I read that he was discovered playing for Swanview high and went on to a different school from there, though maybe it was just for the local team.
 
Jason Akermanis went to Mildura West Primary School. He was in Grade 3 when I was in grade 1 with his brother Rory in 1985
 
Dipper went to my High School, and Peter Tsolakis (South Melbourne? in the NSL). I have a dim memory of an emergency PE teacher called Chris Connolly. He drove a couple of the girls to a sports meeting and sang along to the radio using a hairbrush as a microphone.
