There certainly are.
Two teams were selected in 2007 to reflect the best players of the 'Modern Era' - post WWII. One team is of
those who played at VFL/AFL level and the other of those who played at VAFA level.
VFL/AFL - coached by Frank Dunin (pictured - Richmond). Click here.
VAFA - coached by John ("Peter") O'Donohue (pictured - Hawthorn). Click here.
We propose that the best player ever at the University is Allan LaFontaine. If there is anyone who can match
kicking 197 goals in a season? 168 for the Blacks and 29 in representative games in 1933.
He played in the centre for Melbourne (1934-42 and 1945), played in three premierships (1939-41)
and won four best and fairests.
