Callan Ward, local hero

Let's hope we get Jack Fitzpatrick this year!

I doubt he'll still be around by the time we get a chance.

Don't forget the biggest local boy of all Brad Johnson.

Johnno should have a street in Footscray named after him. Or a crescent.

Actually, the way he plays, the most appropriate will probably be 'Brad Johnson Drive'.

Agree, I think the best thing about Johnson's season so far is he is now impacting games without kicking lots of goals.

nor should we forget Gia we really seem to do this well with the local boys

I think you're probably right-actually, unless we tank the rest of the season starting now, it's a certainty!

Bad Twodogs. Bad, bad boy. How could I forget?

Although the definition of 'local boy' keeps changing. When I was a kid it was only kids from Yarraville/West Footscray/Braybrook were locals but since the name change it's broadened to mean all of the 'west'. Johnno's a Hoppers boy isnt he?

That's a damn fine idea!

Being from the South, Im not sure of the definition of the "West". For some reason I thought he was from Williamstown and didn't he barrack for the dogs as a kid? If he did support us as a kid he certainly should be classed as a local boy!!

Johnno originally hails from Hoppers, but was recruited as a junior whilst playing footy for Willi.

Geelong has had loads of success in recruiting local guys, and putting a preference on them

Realise a regional city like Geelong doesnt have the lifestyle advantages of a capital city, however when recruiting local talent its always useful to harness the passion of the surrounding area, and gain grassroots support

The Western suburbs is one of the fastest growing areas population wise in the country and its vital we get local ambassadors like Ward and Johnno spreading the word the the Doggies are the club that every local should love and every boy should aspire to play with
