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...
12. Tasmania Devils/Mariners
The Tasmanian pathway club wasn't always a part of the Talent League (formerly known as the TAC Cup and NAB League), but that didn't stop a crop of names from making themselves known.
Richmond's Jack Riewoldt is the pick of the bunch from the Apple Isle, dominating the AFL after featuring for the Mariners.
Riewoldt was a three-time All-Australian, three-time Coleman medallist and two-time best and fairest winner, but more significantly, he was a three-time premiership player.
Retiring at the end of 2023, the Tiger forward finished on 787 goals, sitting 14th on the all-time list.
Hawthorn defender Grant Birchall was a gun during the club's golden era between 2008 and 2015, claiming four premierships.
