The Q-stick Quinten Lynch, Eagles/Pies - lives in Perth, bought a farm near Narembeen. Originally from Grass Patch (133 residents) 500+kms from Perth, maybe the family farm.

The family farm?

Captain of West Coast Eagles tackles WoolQ

Shannon Hurn, captain of AFL team West Coast Eagles, recently went home to his parents’ property in South Australia to help out at shearing time. While there, he saw WoolQ being used for the second time at the property and scoring some pretty big goals.

Nice bloke.

I am pretty sure he is out Burracoppin way and may still be involved in the footy club out there.

Thanks for all the response that's great I really appreciate it - please keep them coming!

Nathan Broad is from Wubin WA. This is a tiny farming town, so I assumed he is from a farm.
I can't find any evidence of that though.

I believe Crowden from Freo is. Purely because his debut press conference he mentioned the cows would be ok without supervision.

“Yeah they’ll be fine, the cows will be alright,” Crowden said.

Debutants get the call

Mitch Crowden joins Adam Cerra as Freo's round two debutants

I also have a feeling Longmuir (so Troy for past players and Justin for current coach/ex-player) grew up on a farm?

 

[spudmaster]

Anyone from Geelong basically.
