Who takes over #5?

[CatTricks]

In all honesty I would put the 5 in mothballs for a year.
Something great is going to happen at the end of next season.

 

[JUBJUB]

Can we get MC, without losing TV?
Is that possible, or fait accompli?

Who invited Dr Suess on this board ?

 

[Sttew]

lock it away until someone worthy comes along.

It's the most famous sporting jumper in Geelong's long history. Polly, Ablett, Varcoe

And Gary Malarkey

 

[Two Planks]

Shane Kersten. After a full pre season he will take the competition by storm.

Using that criteria ( and as someone else pointed out - you left Malarkey out- who was a champion fullback ) then Selwood should get it - because he is Geelongs greatest ever player

Before Joel walked in the door - Geelong was full of flashy - front running types - who use to crumble at the 1st hint of pressure

Thats why youve just go to love Joel - because he is polar opposite to what Geelong were for 30 years prior

 

[hamG]

Alan would have been a candidate. Indigenous connection is as strong as the Ablett one.

 

[Vdubs]

And....

My memory was he was #6??

 

[Vdubs]

Dr Seuss please!

 

[Magnus McFysh]

My memory was he was #6??

Correct. And so was Malarkey (for a small bit)

Hopefully whoever gets it next will put in the effort to wear it with the pride it deserves - whether it be the next draftee through the door or someone already at the club.

 

[you pick one]

I believe they will put it aside for 12 months/ Dangerfied but he will never wear it.I hope the club are not as obsessed as some on this board and overlook other good trade opportunities and miss out altogether.

I see TV out as a bigger win than MC in,now if we can just flick Brown I'll have had a good trade week/month,Bundy was a disappointment but opens up a spot for Hartman or McCarthy.

We differ. Hugely. But I still love you (in a posting sense!).

I'm not sure Partridge will be so forgiving on Brown he's a fan as well,I lovsyas all to in my best a Jeff Feneck voice.But Brown drives me insane,I'm sure some have noticed.

 

[The rabbi]

Took the words out of my mouth.

He will probably end up at the Hawks.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Something to take our mind off the s**t storm.

Varcoe has a foot out the door so that frees up our most famous number. Do we give it to Mitch Clark, a draftee or another up and comer?

DANGER-MOUSE ...can have it.... Next year!!

I don't have any hopes for players, so I'm never disappointed.

Im gonna ride this one all off season!

Go Catters

You whine a lot after games for someone who doesn't get disappointed

You blokes were smoking too much hooch in the 70's.
Rex wore number 5.

I can remember him wearing number 5.
How old are you blokes?
If you say you can remember the 70's then you were probably not here.

[Teriyakicat]

Brings back memories- I'd forgotten what number "sparkles" had worn!

Malarkey had it from '77 to '83, then changed to #6 for '84-'86, according to the AFL tables website.

Oops- crossed wires...
Hunt was #5 at Ninthmond, then #6 at the Cats, then #5 at Saints

I have sine sincere doubts about that Booby. He strikes me as someone who does not like paroachial bullshit about our players to me. He may come across as a crusty old whinging bastard to many on this forum, but personally I find him one of the more demanding posters (in terms of evidence and argument) on this forum.
Maybe it is just because I am just a crusty old argumentative bastard myself. I dunno.

 

[The rabbi]

Wiki has him from 74-75 as number 5 playing for Geelong with Richmond previous and St.Failure later.

He wore 43 at Richmond (1968-74*), 5 at Geelong (74-5*) and No 2 at St.Failure (1976-78).


*Move due to work as a Police Officer.

[The rabbi]

I recall David Barklay (spelling) wearing No 5 at the time.
And as I recall Hunt wore no 6 when he first came to the club and then he wore number 5.
