Former hoopers in the AFL

The Crows have signed Ben Dowdell from Santa Clara as a rookie. Makes me wonder, what about the hardwood talent getting around in the AFL or on lists

Here's some I can think up;
Pendlebury, Watts, Goldstein, Gray, Dowdell, Tippett, Brogan, Jenkins, Henderson, McNamara, Spencer...

Some of those boys represented Australia as juniors so there is certainly some talent. Anyone I missed.

How about a starting 5 of
G Scott Pendlebury, G Josh Jenkins, F Ben Dowdell, F Kurt Tippett, C Dean Brogan

I coached Alex Fasalo (Collingwood) in under 12s. Not sure if he ever played WABL but definitely had it in him. He was often late, or missed training because he had footy training on at the same time, I jokingly told him footy is a bogan sport and he should focus on basketball, he didnt agree haha
