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...
6. Gippsland Power
The Collingwood champion's glittering career has not yet come to a close, albeit his achievements are worth multiple lifetimes.
Pendlebury has been the poster boy for consistency, rarely missing a top five finish in the club's best and fairest, as well as performing at a high level for an extended time.
The former basketballer has secured six best and fairests, five All-Australians, a Norm Smith Medal and two premiership medallions, with his eyes firmly on a third in 2025.
Pendlebury stands alone as the most decorated player to feature in the AFL from the Gippsland Power.
Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughead should get a mention for his 283-game career, as should Essendon great Dyson Heppell, who steered the club through the 2013 drug saga.
However, Fremantle's Caleb Serong is quickly making a name for himself, and this discussion could change in a decade's time.
