Suggest Nick Smith with the Swans too, played with and against Cyril at school, has a Premiership medal.
I think in 2014 or 13 Great Scot mag did an update article on 100 Scotch boys who had played VFL/AFL, could be worth tracking down
Lots of good Cyril early info in Emma Quayle’s wonderful book on the Draft a few years back

As at the end of the 2017 season, 173 Scotch boys have played at least one Senior game in the VFL (now AFL) competition since 1897.
