Two things I never knew, Deano's nickname was actually "Legde" (as in Legend) and his father "Barney" (who was the GM of construction company I worked for in late 80s early 90s) played U19s for Carlton, hence the Bluebagger connection.

A 3rd. Went to Mount Waverley secondary college just like myself.
Clearly I was the most talented bloke to come out of there.
Fun fact, so did Brett Thornton. I knew him personally.

Born in Coburg. I always thought he was from Romsey/Lancefield way. Maybe he lived there.

I know someone whose son lives in Romsey who confirms DJ certainly had a property there.
Reality always wins in the end.

Yes, I can confirm he and his brother played some junior and senior cricket out that way.

Believe he played at Ashwood, but can't have been for long because he went to Carlton pretty young. Paul Reiffel also played at Ashwood.
Glenn played at a few clubs in the area, with controversy following him...
Foxtel have been playing the Legends interview with Craddock from a couple of years ago. Good viewing.

I think a few of us are talking youth years before 1st Class, while others are talking post Test career.
Mind you, Deano was still occasionally turning up to local cricket for a game post-Test career as was Rodney Hogg, although Hogg was on cashies and Deano was just there because he was addicted to cricket!
PS; You don't know what white-knuckle means until you have to open the batting on matting in a very light drizzle, with recently retired Rodney Hogg off the long run because he is naturally nasty to all batsmen no matter what the level or match circumstance! It's very unnerving to look around and notice the keeper is just a gentle under-arm away from the boundary! My opening partner came down from the non-strikers end after the first couple of delivers, from which I was hoping for a some reinforcing advice, and instead he looked a little sheepish and said, "crap I didn't see them!" So much for just having a bit of a hit with some mates on a damp afternoon! :o (Even worse, at higher levels I was a Bowling All-Rounder not an Opening Batsmen!)
