Players from one club to play VFL/AFL Footy !

Submitted by bobbyborough on
Reading the Heraldsun today The Pulse the article about players from one club to end playing in the VFL/AFL was very suprising how many have come from Port Melbourne being the most, also other clubs some that are not around any more. Go Borough!

Also saw the article.. It was good to see Azza back in the Port Melbourne jumper. Good effort to have had the most VFL/AFL players, although you'd reckon a few of those went over to South Melbourne and came back to the Borough at some stage.

You're absolutely right ons, there's been a real unofficial link in the old days between South Melbourne and Port Melbourne, and I guess that was reborn a bit a few years ago when Sydney and Port aligned. But, the list of names of players who played for both South and Port could go on for pages. If we were to suggest a team, I'd pick Plugger Lockett at full-forward, 2 games for the Borough and 7 goals. What do you think ons and bobby?

Did Cook play a senior match at Footscray? (4 games I thought) If so.. you'd have to lock him in at least from a Port Melbourne perspective. I don't think Lockett qualifies as he may have played the odd game before lining up for the Borough ;)

Apologies ons, I haven't seen the Herald-Sun article, so wasn't sure of the rules or anything of the team. I reckon u could be right just quietly, I just reckon Plugger may have played a few games before he turned out for the Borough. Just on Fred Cook, he played 33 games and kicked 2 goals for Footscray between 1967-69.

Wasn`t a bad little article actually, made a pleasant change from the usual tabloid journalism.

The article was about players that were produced by clubs to go on to play VFL/AFL Footy. Go Borough!
