Bendigo FL discussion 2025

[Made4September]

Sure would be….im usually good with my memory on this stuff but im struggling to remember diggers players and the separate good players from when they were alive do with Essendon but known as the Bendigo Gold

12/13/14 was Gold IIRC.

13/14 was stand alone?

 

[JP Ollards]

They were also bendigo bombers coached by matty knights, where they did make their players play bfl, we had lovitt-murray at flat, gilliland at maine, Mark Brown Eaglehawk all play a handful of bfl games

 

[JP Ollards]

I reckon if they'd got desal Williams as their first coach it would have got far better buy in by local players too

 

[Mad Jack]

They were diggers not gold jack

Ahh yep you’re right, got my era’s wrong. Both good players, would be nice to see Lenny bob up again in the footy world some day, good operator.

 

[Grimmett]

Stroobants play Diggers/Gold?

Duscher was an absolute jet!

Duscher was an absolute jet!

Might have been only in the Bombers era though

I recall the Bendigo Diggers starting onballers in the early days were Mark Bradley, Brad Eaton, Jim Cail, Nick Carter. Pretty handy VFL lineup.

 

[redragger]

Guy Campbell played some good footy for them as well.

 

[JP Ollards]

Fox Lancaster what an athlete he was, i think he won the first 2 bnfs on a back flank after kicking a ton in the bfl

Matt tointon first ruck absolute warhorse.

Cail.and Eaton were playing pios early days of diggers.

98 was their first year, pretty sure Ross Smith was playing coach, my memories they were competitive that year
