    Bulldogs Players That Went To Your School

    For some fun

    Interested to see what players from the Bulldogs past and present went to your school.

    Myself: Cannot think of any players from the Bulldogs past or present that went to my school.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Only had guys make TAC and VFL, didn't make it enough to the top. Most just wanted to play with their mates, but I was a year under Bev Malloy who played (a blinder btw) for Victoria in the VFL before going back to play-coach-cashup with his mates in the MPNFL.

    However, I umpired inter-school footy and in local leagues in games with Fevola, Jeff White, Lonie boys, Jaydyn Attard (surprised he didn't make it with 2 clubs) etc.

    Luke Dahlhaus and Shaun Higgins but long after my time (I completed year 12 in 1990).

    Also Barry Stoneham, Michael Mansfield, Jimmy Bartel, Damian Bourke, Cameron Ling, Jaspar Pittard, Allen Christensen, Nick Maxwell and Matty Scarlett.

    I did all my schooling at St. Joeys in Geelong and played football for them as well. Joeys had a very strong footballing culture.

    I went to a public school in West Sunshine and in my time (late 60's early 70's), we had one senior player Gary Steel who played 2 games in 1972.

    We had a couple of teachers that were players but not for us.

    Aaron James was expelled from my school years before I started. It was only one of many schools he was expelled from.

    He practised getting expelled at schools and made it an art form at footy clubs...

    Gia and Rohan Smith were there years before I started as was Podsiadly. Trent Mackenzie was a year ahead of me and I remember him kicking a footy across the oval and smacking blokes in the head

    I think Ted Whitten went to the same Primary school as I did.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
