Bombers Come From Far and Wide

Here is the breakdown of where our squad originates from

VIC - 17
WA - 7
SA - 5
TAS - 4
QLD - 2
NSW/ACT - 2
NT - 1

More than half the team comes from outside of Victoria. Long gone are the days when Dimboola or Horsham were the most common names under the player origin heading.

I cant recall a time when we had so many Sandgropers in the team.

Perhaps an interseting poll would be to name our best ever interstate recruits from each of the states

Here Goes

WA - G Moss, D Bewick, B Duckworth, L Baker
SA - G Wanganeen, G Anderson, S Wellman
NSW/ACT - J Hird, D Solomon, T Daniher
TAS - ??
NT - M Long
QLD - ??

Windy...For Queensland, how could you forget Frankie Dunnell...100 games and a member of the '84 premiership team

Some Taswegians were Stephen Beaumont, Robert Shaw, Steve Carey and Bradley Plain.

Another Taswegian who started his career with the Dons but then went on to achieve great things at Tigerland...Paul Sproule, played in quite a few of their flag winning temas during the 70's

Yep...he was one of the players we gave up as part of the arrangement for each club to supply the bears with players.

I think he thought it would be a good time to go home.

So should we ask for retention allowance in the salary cap?
