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.

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.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
