[edit] College?

While Ben Graham might have gone to Deakin, he certainly didn't learn to play Aussie Rules, let alone american football there. He would have never even played for the university's football club. University teams do not generally serve as development teams for pro sports here, unlike in the USA. --Robert Merkel 01:13, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I suppose it should be Leopold, because that was were he was drafted to Geelong from, and he learned how to punt at a Jets training camp I'm lead to believe. So perhaps it should be Leopold, that was always quoted in the AFL Record. LPWRHR 08:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Universities and professional sports do not go hand in hand in Australia. He wasn't there on a "sports scholarship" and didn't play for any Australian Rules team there (much less an American Football team) so it is completely redundant info in any "NFL career summary".
