Opinion Best ever Players in Jumper Numbers

[danger_to_walker]

Would have thought Ricciuto would go close to the #32, 8x All Australian, twice as captain, Brownlow Medallist, 3x Best and Fairest, Premiership player, 312 games - that being said, Watson was definitely a champion.
McLeod has been fairly good in #23 too

 

[J Selwood14]

45 cameron ling?

 

[MacMum]

33..Darryl White

 

[Seb78]

Didn't know Hawkins was 7... I still reckon Winmar was scintillating as a player.

Hawkins is way ahead of Winmar

 

[Murraj1966]

Hawkins is way ahead of Winmar

Yeah but Bunton was ahead of Hawkins

 

[gandaal]

#2 Greg Williams
#21 Craig Bradley
#32 Tim Watson

#13 Mil Hanna: Hey, he was an All Australian.

 

[corby]

#39. Tony Liberatore?
Brownlow medalist should be enough to be better than Capper or do we only remember his last couple of years as a tagger?

 

[gandaal]

#40 Michael Jamison

 

[The_Eagles]

16 ... J Brown over B Brownless

 

[gpsm]

40 Ian Nankervis

 

[bomberfan101]

#18 Lloyd over Wayne Carey easily.

 

[esoteric]

#42 Robert Walls

 

[half back flank]

wow!

 

[Damon_3388]

#39. Tony Liberatore?
Brownlow medalist should be enough to be better than Capper or do we only remember his last couple of years as a tagger?

I think Capper was a much more memorable player than Liberatore. But still, I'd give it to Libba if we're just going for the out-and-out best.

 

[gandaal]

#18 Lloyd over Wayne Carey easily.

You don't often see supporters trolling their own teams captain.

 

[Kappa Tau]

Ablett Snr over Hird?

Yes

and Hawkins>Modra

 

[swoops]

Harvey over Daicos Really??
prefere daicos in my team... i no i collingwood supporter but have always loved watching harvey play... still think daicos is one of the greatest players i have ever seen.

uncanny skills he had, changed the game by introducing those freak goals on a regular basis

 

[Murraj1966]

Hey i said Unlucky. If your the games record holder, dual brownlow medallist, won every award that a midfielder can get without a flag, I think you have a right to that number. Daicos was awesome, but Harvey was awesome for different reasons.

 

[Rioli magic]

# 8 - Phil Krakouer

 

[Juju Porky]

Hummm ... didn't Len Thomson wear 2??

 

[boncer34]

13. Micheal Long
8. Darren Bewick

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Number #3 is an interesting one.

Ted Whitten - ornament of the game, 'Mr Football'
Leigh Matthews - Best player of the last century

tough call really.

 

[JA27]

Since no one else has 36, surely Dane Swan. He's favourite/near-favourite for the brownlow this year and has to beat no one!
