Another chance to delve into the players recruited directly from the Goulburn Valley League to the highest level of football in the country presents itself today.
After diving into the statistics behind the 164 (now 165) names in the overall list — as well as looking more closely at Benalla, Echuca, Euroa, Kyabram, Lemnos and Mansfield so far — we will continue down the alphabetical list.
As a reminder, the games and goals for current players is updated to the end of last season — which means Laitham Vandermeer was not on this list, but will certainly nestle among it now.
