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.

    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.

    Seeing this is a guessing quiz, may I hazard a guess and say that the reference in Q1 to three winning grand finals might not necessarily mean three winning Senior grand finals?

    You may I hazard a guess if you wish to do so.

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

    I am .....?

    Who am I ......... (4th Clue)

    After leaving Melbounre I went to play with Geelong. I played in 2 premerships with a VFA / VFL club.

    I am .....?

    Ans = Bret Bailey (fondly know to some as 'mumbles)

    A utility player, Bailey was recruited to Melbourne from St Peters. Bentleigh (St.Peter / 3rd clue reference)

    He played in Melbourne's 1983 Under-19s premiership and was a member of another premiership team the following year, in the reserves.Bailey had his best year at the club in 1987. He kicked the winning goal in the Panasonic Cup final and was the only Melbourne player to appear In all 25 league games that they played, which included three finals. His 486 disposals for the season was second only to Greg Healy at the club and he also kicked 20 goals.In 1990 he made his way to Geelong, via the pre-season draft, but would only make one appearance for his new club.

    Bailey was a dual premiership player at Sandringham, in 1992 and 1994.

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

    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.

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

      The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.
