Best 21 that played in the vfl/afl from your club!

[GWW]

Magpiespower, are you certain that Stephen never played for West. I was sure i saw footage of him kicking a great goal for them on a very tight angle, i think it was '78.

Yep.

Made his league debut for Port in 1979.

Come on Sturt supporters pick a team. I have no idea of who were our best.

[Hondo]

I am not a Sturt supporter but here's a very quick attempt:

F B Atkinson S Feast ?
HF A Underwood P Motley A Thompson
C D Pearce G Whittlesea S Russell
HB J Viney B Sanderson M Mattner
B ? B Lennon ?
IR R Davies T Viney C Dilena
Int ? ? ?

Few gaps there struggling to come up with more names quickly ..... any help will be appreciated as I am sure I have missed some guys

[Snaggletooth Tiger]

hondo71...
Next to Fullback Bruce Lennon in the back pocket you could stick
Sturt/Carlton/Crows player & 'Son of Sandy'
Ben Nelson.
Then there's former Sturt/Fitzroy/Western Bulldogs/Hawthorn
Matthew Dent.

Jody Arnol?

[GWW]

Jody Arnol?

Started off at St Kilda so i wouldn't think he'd qualify.......

As a non Sturt supporter, this would be the side i'd pick.

F Feast, Kitschke, Eckermann

HF Atkinson, Motley, Thomson

C Mattner, S Russell, Pearce

HB Underwood, Lennon Whittlesea

B J Viney, Dent, Sanderson

RUCK Davies, T Viney, Dilena

[am Bays]

Robert Klomp would have to be in there surely...

[GWW]

I think you'd be right there Tassie, i forgot about him for the team i picked.

Paul McWilliam, Damien Kitschke, Shane Radbone, David Welsby, Robbert Klomp, Mick Nunan, Jim Tilbrook, Robert Schaeffer, Angus Monfries, A Fullwood, Kym Russell, Matthew Dent, Jeremy Guard to name a few.

[Hondo]

Yep, I missed a few ..... turning in to a pretty useful side

[spell_check]

Malcolm Greenslade also played a couple of games in the VFL.

[redden whites]

Did i read earlier someone had bloody Wayne Weidemann on the Eagles bench...OMG you gotta be kidding he was an embarassment...The South and Sturt side would get caned by the others from what I read so far IMHO

[northernblue]

Fort sturt you can add John murphy - south melbourne and brenton miels - richmond. Also, a Richard Murrie played for sturt and turned up later at either geelong or brisbane.

Were does Donald Dickie fit in, he played for sturt as well.

No one has mentioned Weidemann yet, and I don't know why he is an embarrassment for?

[northernblue]

again, don't forget Barnaby French.

[northernblue]

yet again for sturt Laurence Shacke went on to play for brisbane

[spell_check]

This was Schaches career - he didn't go straight to Brisbane from Sturt but I don't think Torrens can claim him:
Sturt:
1988: ? games, 63 goals (club leading goalscorer)
Torrens:
1989: 7 games, 19 goals 12 behinds (as well as 5 preseason matches and 8 goals)
1990: 20 games, 45 goals 36 behinds (club leading goalscorer)
Brisbane:
1991: ? games, 47 goals (club leading goalscorer)
1992: ? games, 17 goals
Overall he played 29 matches for Brisbane
Eagles:
1993: 18 games, 34 goals 35 behinds (Premiership player, as well as 5 preseason matches)
1994: 11 games, 25 goals 10 behinds

[McAlmanac]

F C Jones, Davies, Dilena
HF Tilbrook, Kitschke, S Russell
C Mattner, T Viney, Pearce
HB Klomp, Lennon Whittlesea
B Begley, Dent, Sanderson
1R C Thompson, Motley, Nunan
Int J Viney, Nelson, French

Not one of the better ones in this thread.

F: Skipworth Hentschel Stokes
HF: Shirley Pavlich S.Phillipou
C: Cicolella Camporeale Pesch
HB: Tape McGregor Breuer
B: Whelan Shattock G.Freeborn
R: Biglands Burton S.Sziller
Int: S.Freeborn M.Kluzek Bock
Emergency: Crowell

I was able to come up with a team in which no one played league for Torrens or Woodville, and played League before playing AFL.
The exception though is Skipworth who debuted with the Crows before he debuted for the Eagles.
