A few more E/S players from each WAFL club AR & GTR are-

CL- Barry Beecroft, Peter Melesso, Geoff Miles
EP- Glen Robertson, Brett Stephens, Peter Thorne
EF- Paul Abbott, Martin Mellody, Adrian Bromage
PE- Brenton Cooper, Daryl Freame, Bruce Tschirpig
SF- Basil Campbell, Wayne Delmenico, Richard Geary
SU- Peter Munro, Graeme Schultz, Michael Crutchfield
SD- Darryl Sutton, Ed Blackaby, Tim Geappen
WP- Peter Murnane, Brian Perrin, Phil Bradmore

Basil Campbell? Where did he originate from? Bruce Tschirpig I'm pretty sure came to us from EF.

Basil was from NT DD which is a state/territory East of WA mate!
As for Bruce Tschirpig I am pretty sure his story was covered by Oos on Where Are They Now on OzFooty he played for Richmond (recruited from Wentworth NSW) before his original move West to EF back to Richmond & then eventually on to Perth!

Pretty sure the author of this topic wasn't thinking NT., then you will need a much longer list for all the Rioli's etc.... Wasn't Stephen Michael from up there and Benny Vigona?

Players who came to Swan Districts worth mentioning

Clem Rosewarne (played for South Adelaide before coming to Swans in the 1930's. He had to sit out a year as South refused to clear him)
Haydn Bunton Jnr
Max Kelleher
Ian Cooper
Gordon Casey
Ed Blackaby
Peter Kenny
Peter Ware
Ryan Davis
