    Good one Strebla, forgot about him.

    Crows cult hero and serial killer lookalike Wayne Weidemann also came from Fish Creek.

    Just looked up the town population; 675.

    Fair effort to produce 4 AFL footballers (3 Dogs) over a 15 year period.

      Fair enough not really sure how to check this out would that count Leon Cameron out too ????? We drafted him from Warnabool if my memory serves me correctly.

        This is the thing. So many small communities have produced and fed the system but not sure how much has gone the other way.
        When we played North in Ballarat a few years back, ( Campbell looked like the new Kelvin Templeton on that day ) the turnout was amazing. Keep in mind too, we weren't going that well at the time. Can't wait till we play there again.

        If any journos are reading this, get down to Fish Creek. There's a story there.

            Geez. What are they putting on the kid's cornflakes in Fish Creek? That's a decent strike rate.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                Yes. Per capita one of the richest recruiting grounds in AFL history!

                    Extremely successful football club. My father in law was 1st rover in 6 premierships there.

                    Barry Standfield actually went back down there after his career finished. If my memory serves me correctly - Barry was still playing about 3 or 4 years ago, as about a 43 year old.

                          If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
