Geoff Tunbridge had 2 sons who were above average country footballers in the Ballarat Football League.

Peter represented the BFL on many occasions and wasn't far short of AFL standard IMO.

Its too bad they couldnt take the next step,but interesting to know that they had some talent.

Perhaps Mister Tunbridge needed to have a few more wrigglers than Mrs Tunbridge.

I had a few relatives live, when youngins. before growing up and moving to various parts of the state. (mothers side)

I heard many tales of some of my uncles bunny rabbit executions.

Melbourne signed two players who were 15 to play in the U19 because zoning was going to be scraped, the players were David Schwarz and Neitz.

Any relation to the Closter who played for Geelong?

Great great uncle I believe, or something like that.

I remember Billy, he played for Redan. No joshing.

He was "drafted" (or how ever you came to a club in the 50's) to Footscray and played for the vic 2nds. He played in 2 North Melbourne reserves premierships as well.

He has a framed premiership blazer from 54 and a great photo of him and EJ Whitten both of which I hope to enherit one day the blazer is incredible

No idea what La Clementina is, even though I looked it up. I'll try Syd Anderson.

I'll agree, it was a bit too hard to search and verify with the 3nd clue, so I amended the 3rd clue. With some research it might ring a few bells.

You can have another guess, in light of the change to the clue. Its a vague clue, but someone might get it.

Plus Syd Anderson was named earlier.

Who am I ......... (2nd Clue)

I was on Melbourne list for 2 years before finally playing my 1st senior game.

Who am I ......... (3rd Clue)

The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican, and where I was recruited from have something in common

Acknowledgements to WJ who got me thinking laterally!

I agree, I think WJ was finally onto it. I was relucant to name St.Peter in that clue. I had a feeling our resident snoop dog, would latch on to that reference lol

But credit to yourself for working it out, nice work :)

Thanks Tim (good get) & Deevoted,

I was on to St. Peter's in East Bentleigh because my sons played junior footy against them and I knew the club was in Melbourne's old Metropolitan zone. When I couldn't think of a triple premiership player who fitted the bill, I started thinking of the possibility of Under 19's, Reserves and Night Premierships and I was going to go with Bailey who I knew had a record of playing in a few different (but not senior) premierships at the club. I decided to be sporting and dropped the obvious clue. :blink:

St. Peter's used to be one of the feeder clubs for our Under 19's. Luke Beveridge's parents (John & Rosa) were involved in coaching/administration and I know it produced Luke, Brett Bailey, the Fidge brothers and Paul O'Brien (so there were a few tough boys in that lot).

From doing my Supercoach / DT teams I notice there is a Tunbridge listed with the Weagles, distant relation to Geoff?

No relation.

Unlikely, a WA boy who was drafted by GWS. Been back in WA on the Eagles rookie list for 2 years.

Ah those were the days. St Peters had 2 teams running in parallel in the junior section. Played my first few years of footy there. I remember playing against Paul O'Brien who was in the other St Peters team. He was flashy and evasive and always hard to catch, until I just watched his hips. Nailed him with some good tackles after that. Fond memories of an old fashioned pie night when a few Melbourne players came down to Bailey Reserve since we were in their 'feeding' zone - Max Walker and Greg Wells (and I think either Tony Sullivan or Stan Alves??). Very early seventies. I got to play 3 games in the little league in the demons colours because of our location in their zone.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
