When I go to opposition clubrooms I like to have a look at the photo's around the place and see who has come through the ranks. Feel free to include players that you think may get drafted this year or any outstanding SANFL players.

Being only a fairly young club in the SAAFL we have had only one at Golden Grove in our 12 years. Shane Edwards was a junior at our club before playing for North Adelaide and then Richmond.

We've had the following.

Donald Dickie (Power)
Travis Varcoe (Geelong)
James Moss (Crows rookie)

Hopefully Adam Varcoe gets drafted tomorrow, he is very similar to Travis.

We've had a fair few Centrals players over the years also.

What year was Dickie at your club LM? I can recall him in the early 90's playing for Border Districts in the KNFL. I think he went to Norwood around 95/6. He tried out at Sturt presumably that was around 93/4.

He played all of his juniors there, CDFC U/17 in 88, Border Districts early 90's for a season or two, then back to Smithfield in 92, then stints at Sturt, Riverton on a couple of occaisions, Norwood then Port.

Che Cockatoo Collins was a quality AFL player at his best, probably only one of that list though.
