Please, please, do not perpetuate the myth that the AFL was the VFL. This is greatly disrespectful to other great players and clubs from at least South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. JK's post specifically mentions AFL. If he meant all leagues, then different question.

My dad coached Western United in 1953 but they like North never played in the AFL.
