Speaking of Big Vee backline, I seem to remember both Ray Walker and John Jillard gained selection for Victoria, back in their heyday. Also, John Schutz was a regular along wth EJ for a number of years.

Apart from Ray Walker playing in the back pocket for Victoria we also had Charlie Evans and Ian Bryant who both also represented Victoria playing in the back pocket too. All played in the 60's. John Schultz played 21 times for the Big V and he and EJ were our best in my mind playing for Victoria.

John Schultz represented Victoria every year in his first 10 years at the Club. The only other League player to achieve this feat was Fred Flanagan who Captained Geelong, in their 2 Premiership flags in 1951/ 2

John Schultz and Norman Ware , both Brownlow Medallist’s and are 2 of 7 Club Legends rate very highly.
Gary Dempsey would also be another as would Scott Wynd.

Ended up being listed by four AFL clubs - Bulldogs, Sydney, Adelaide Richmond
My argument would be that its unlikely you get listed by four clubs unless you have a level of talent
I seem to remember him having a very good patch for Richmond - half season and a bit
Clearly a great head of hair

Luke Darcy played for SA because he was born in Adelaide. I thought his father played for Vic but can't find that anywhere.

David Darcy played 4 games for Victoria and was an outstanding Full Back. Was recruited originally from Sunshine which also produced Alan Stoneham, John Nuttall who was part of our 20 in the 1954 Premiership. Ron Howard was another that played with us from Sunshine.

Yes, sorry I meant to say SA, after he went back there for a few years, but looks like he didn't.
