Daryl O'Brien

DOB named in two Brunswick VFA "all-stars" teams

In The Age, July 9 1983, Mark Fiddian in his VFA column named his all-stars team for Brunswick over the past 25 years:

Backs: R. Wilson, F. Robinson, J. Edwards
Half-Backs: B. Nolan, J. Whiley, K. Robins
Centre: B. Bibby [even though VFA teams did not have wingmen, surely one K. Greig should've rated a mention!]
Half-Forwards: W. Schimmelbusch, J. Orton, G. Stone
Forwards: D. O'Brien, A. Cook, K. Dillon
Followers: D. Benton, G. Gingell
Rover: K. Burns (c/c)
Interchange: A. West, M. McKinnon
 

Wicks Honor Greats

Later that year, the Brunswick Football Club itself named its own top post-war side, extending the interchange bench to three and adding wingmen.

The side Brunswick FC named (published in The Herald) was:

Backs: Wilson, Robinson, Edwards
Half-Backs: Nolan, Whiley, Robins
Centre: Greig, Bibby, West
Half-Forwards: W. Schimmelbusch, Orton, Stone
Forwards: Dillon, Cook, McKinnon
Ruck/Rovers: Benton, O'Brien, Burns (capt.-coach)
Interchange: Gingell, Toy, D. Schimmelbusch
