Some football clubs have been fantastic nurseries for AFL players.
However, we are yet to see a club that has produced anything close to the
quality of Braybrook FC's top 5 best players:
1. EJ Whitten.
2. Doug Hawkins.
3 George Bissett.
4. Wally Donald.
5. Brian Wilson.
EJ was captain of the AFL's team of the century; Dougie was a state rep.
and former holder of Footscray's games record; Bissett was a state rep. and
runner up (and robbed) in the 1969 Brownlow; Wal Donald was a state rep.
and V.C, of Footscray's '54 premiership team and Brian Wilson won a
Brownlow.
Other players of note include Ray Walker, Gary Merrington, Rob Groenewegan,
Dennis Collins and current Brisbane player Albert Proud.
We don't think that any grassroots club can top that
