Victoria arguably has the largest crop of Australian Rules football players, given the sport's dominance in the state.
Club captains, premiership players and endless stars have risen from the Coates Talent League (formerly known as the TAC Cup and the NAB League) ranks to forge a long-lasting legacy.
Taking a look back on the best players to come from the Talent League, we've named the greatest player each club has produced for the AFL since the century began.
Here's who we've selected, along with a few honourable mentions for each club...
11. Sandringham Dragons
The Sandringham Dragons could hold their hand up as the best talent pathway club in Victoria.
Stacked with a list of AFL stars, it was difficult to land on one, but Chris Judd takes his place on top of the mantle.
The West Coast-Carlton champion was a unique midfielder who has become the prototype for the modern game with his speed and power key features.
Judd was a two-time Brownlow medallist, six-time All-Australian, two-time league MVP, five-time best and fairest recipient, Norm Smith medallist and premiership player.
Other names that have graduated from the Dragons include Jobe Watson, Josh Kennedy, Tom Hawkins and Max Gawn.
Essendon captain Zach Merrett is quickly forging an impressive career path whilst a close watch will be on the next generation, led by Will Ashcroft and Harry Sheezel.
