the curse of #36 strikes again

[Hodgepodge]

A while ago i suggested giving this number to a rookie pick, because then there is not much to lose if the 'curse' strikes. A case of great minds thinking alike maybe?

RIP Derick Wanganeen

When we are talking superstition can we keep rip out of it

It stands for rehabs in perpetuity.

 

[Great 2008]

I think you can break another curse Wangas!

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

We ended one curse this year, hopefully another next.

(Can't belive Wang agreed to take on 36. Does he not read BigFooty???)

Sorry...........

The CURSE is far to powerful!!

 

[grumbleguts]

It is, I suggest we put the geelong football club in #36 and keep it in some room somewhere.

In the last 40 odd years, only one player has played more than 10 games wearing #36.

Barry Young ran out (or hobbled out) 13 times in season 2000. Gene Chiron appeared in #36 for 33 matches from 1968 to 1972. Then you go back to the late 1950's (1956-1960) when Brian Falconer appeared in 57 matches wearing #36. Finally, Wally Nash wore #36 for 12 matches in season 1954.

That is four players that have worn #36 in 10 matches or more. Four !

Isn't that the number of ACLs we have had in the number as well?

 

[Dinsdale]

grrrrr stupid #36, I hates it.

 

[WWSD]

12,21,34,36,44 are all vacant.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Would be good to re-ignite the awesomeness of 44. Can't believe we wasted that revered number to Garlett (although I liked it at the time). Maybe we could give it to O'Rourke.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Wangers form dropped off as soon as he started wearing the #36 and now he has been delisted - get rid of it!!!

 

[MistyAvalon]

No such thing as a curse

zap

 

[MistyAvalon]

Speak for yourself, mate. I'm not taking on the curse. It has to be attached to a goat and sent into the wilderness.

where's hird right now?

 

[rdhopkins2]

Mail #36 to Essendon Fields?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Can't we draft Goodes and give it to him?

Suspect he and Frawley will be fighting it out for 12 and 21.

 

[Agent Smith]

Sorry...........

He got out alive and uninjured didn't he? Things are looking up...

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Can't we draft Goodes and give it to him?

But Brett Goodes is a decent bloke, unlike his campaigner brother

 

[Turly]

Woody gets a new number..

Plays his first full season, injury free and wins the Liston

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

12,21,34,36,44 are all vacant.

Number 1 should be as well.

 

[Aeon05]

Number 1 should be as well.

Number 1 is dedicated to the fans?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Number 1 is dedicated to the fans?

Yes, I know, and I've never liked that idea. If I were someone like Ray Jencke who wore the number for 188 games, I'd want to see my number being paraded on the ground, not just tossed aside and forgotten. Seems strange to retire a number for the hell of it.

How many fans do we see wearing the number 1 on their jumpers?

If they stop using #1 for the players, I don't understand what is stopping them from doing the same with #36.
