With help from the GVL and its clubs, we kicked things off a fortnight ago by delving into the numbers surrounding the list of players that have been recruited.

Following on from last week's part one, where we highlighted the players from Benalla, Echuca and Euroa, this week we look at the products from Kyabram, Lemnos and Mansfield.

Club members across the region reached out searching for their organisation's individual stars — and The News is happy to accommodate the requests.

With 18 clubs to peruse — as well as the All Australian list — we are splitting it up in to more than one part.The games and goals for current players are taken at the end of last season.KYABRAMPeter Aitken - Carlton (11 games) seven goals 1955Daryl Bourke - Melbourne (18) 1985-86Barry Bryant - Carlton (14) five goals 1960-61Dick Clay - Richmond (213) 80 goals 1966-76 (four premierships)Glen Coghlan - St Kilda (29) seven goals 1995-97Brett Deledio - Richmond (243) GWS (32) 197 goals 2005-19Ross Dillon - Melbourne (85) 133 goals 1966-72Frank Fanning - Footscray (two) 1966Charlie Fisher - Carlton (111) 147 goals 1914-21 (one premiership)Shane Fitzsimmons - Melbourne (63) 33 goals 1973-79Maurie Fowler - Carlton (eight) four goals 1966Graeme Haslem - Hawthorn (eight) 1961-63Nick Holman - Carlton (nine) Gold Coast (35) 21 goals 2014 to presentTom Hawkins - South Melbourne (one) 1904Ian Howard - Footscray (16) 1960William (Billy) James - Richmond (one) one goal 1920 (one premiership)Garry Lyon - Melbourne (226) 426 goals 1986-99Stuart McKenzie - Melbourne (nine) 1982James McQueen - Hawthorn (one) 1937Noel O'Donnell - Melbourne (80) 67 goals 1979-84Percy Outram - Carlton (24) St Kilda (27) 94 goals 1925-30Roy Outram - Collingwood (one) Richmond (four) two goals 1920-28George Parkinson - Richmond (12) 1919-21Kayne Pettifer - Richmond (113) 132 goals 2001-09Bryan Pettifer - Footscray (28) Hawthorn (one) seven goals 1965-68Paul Rowlands - Melbourne (35) 1969-70John Sparks - Melbourne (nine) eight goals 1975-77Maurice Wingate - Melbourne (39) 13 goals 1976-80LEMNOS Les Bamblett - Melbourne (11) Footscray (37) 71 goals 1983-88Wayne Delmenico - Melbourne (31) one goal 1972-75Roy Eliason - North Melbourne (five) 1948-49Gary Harner - Geelong (50) 26 goals 1961-65Jarman Impey (Swans) - Port Adelaide (75) Hawthorn (41) 51 goals 2014 to presentBarney McKellar - Footscray (22) 11 goals 1960-62Charlie Stewart - Footscray (20) four goals 1961MANSFIELDAndrew Browne - Richmond (12) two goals 2009-12James Cousins - Hawthorn (19) nine goals 2017 to presentJosh Fraser - Collingwood (200) Gold Coast (18) 168 goals 2000-12
