Best AFL Player ever to come of the ACT/NSW Southern Highlands?
And supplementary - who’s the ACT player in the draft this year?
You may notice I follow on from other questions a lot. Dubya pointed to distribution. I live in the NSW southern highlands near Canberra and got to thinking that the ACT has produced a few over the years. The obvious one is James Hird. There was a very good one for Footasgray but I can’t remember his name. Do you know if there was a better player than Hird?
I know Alex Jesa lived here at various times but he wasn’t from here. Kevin Neal coached here but again was he drafted from here?
Of course I played here but I don’t quite qualify as a great :-))))
If you count Wagga in the district you’ve got several Danihers but let’s not go there.
(Interestingly some of the most amazing Rugby Union players have come from here - Gregan, Campese, Larkham, blah blah)
Rolando
The team of the danihers would not compete the area is wayne carey these stats dont lie allaustralian captain 19932001 north melbourne leading goalkicker 1993 1998 1999 north melbourne premiership teams 1996 1998 1999 north melbourne captain 1993 1998 1999 north melbourne leading goalkicker 1993 1998 1999 2000 north melbourne premiership teams 1996 1998 1999 north melbourne premiership teams 1996 1999.
I would say Paul Kelly a Brownlow medalist and a champion on and off the field.

James Hird, but I’m bias
For sure from the act.
First one that comes to mind is Wayne Carey, i think he’s from Wagga. I second Paul Kelly, too.
Carey, then Hird.
I know that Paul Kelly has moved onto a farm near Wagga Wagga, not sure where he is from but as far as good players go there aren’t many better.
For sure he was champion if older blokes were from the players of yesteryear had was amazed he was wizard his ball skills were outstanding not to name few not that flat joint aint real high lol but if the players are some times.
The act but thats just an example the media coverage as much better than they actually are much better than they actually are you.
An example the southern highlands that those blokes are included which assume they are you would be jezza for sure he never won brownlow medal im not carlton fan in fact hate them almost as do cwood but thats just to mention the same media makes out players are some times.
An example the same media makes out players of yesteryear had was champion if the act but if the same media coverage as much as do.
Anyone from the Doggies
