Your most succesful guernsey number at your club.

[RedmanWasHere]

No. 10 at Essendon's got some serious depth.

Foulds, O'Donnell, Noonan and John Coleman.

Rowley Watt and Ian Shelton too.

 

[MadMac]

Well Pav in 29 takes the cake for us tho 7 goes alright.

Ben Allen
Jeff Farmer
Nat Fyfe

Pretty sure Jeffrey wore number 33

 

[SgtSchulz]

 

[Natho]

Id say one year of antonowicz would be the only lowlight. To make things worse, it was in ochre!

Did leave that one out!

it's an interesting tradition..

what if the new captain wants to keep his original #?

always felt like Wanganeen should have always stayed in #4

Not sure, but Boak's number 10 is on ice now to avoid the Pearce/Tredrea incident

The player has the option to have his old number reserved so no one wears it. No one designated captain at the start of the year has gone against the tradition for 90 years.

... what happened there?

Hmm ok - 90 years is a long time.. none of them probably would feel comfortable even asking to keep their old number

 

[spookism]

Pearce went from 6 to 16 when Tredrea was skipper, both wanted the number when Tredrea stepped down from Captain

 

[Dinga_19]

32, Ricciuto straight to Dangerfield.

Who's going to wear it next year?

 

[Nutsngum]

4 - Tony Lockett, Darrel Baldock, Barry Breen, Andrew Thompson, Bill Cubbins
7 - Nicky Winmar, Lenny Hayes,
10 - Neil Roberts, Carl Ditterich, Bill Mohr, Peter Everitt, Steven Baker
35 - Robert Harvey

Hell, even Clinton Jones did damn well in the number 4, was one of the best taggers going around for a couple of years wearing that number.

Robert Harvey literally wore the 35 for 1/6th of the clubs existence so that counts.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Pearce went from 6 to 16 when Tredrea was skipper, both wanted the number when Tredrea stepped down from Captain

So Pearce went back to #6?

 

[spookism]

So Pearce went back to #6?

 

[Roo Beauty]

Why would you go from #6 to #16, then back to #6? Was #16 really that important to him that he'd vacate #6?

 

[spookism]

Actually: Pearce didn't start at 6, but took Tredrea's number when he became skipper and moved to 6 when Tredrea relinquished the Captaincy...

I did a quick bit of analysis (posted on the Richmond Board).

Our most successful numbers in terms of B&Fs are odd numbers - #17 won 10 times, #9 won 10 times, #29 won 8 times. more than 60% of our B&Fs have been won by odd-numbered players.

Our most successful numbers in terms of Goal-kicking have been even numbers. #12, #8, etc. Even Numbers have won our goalkicking more than 60% of the time. (#12 alone has won the goalkicking 25 times - mostly Titus and Richardson). At the time I did the analysis (after Rd 10, I think), even numbers had kicked more than 2/3rds of our goals this season. The last time an odd-numbered player won the Richmond goalkicking was in 1984.

The significance of all that is................I'm buggered if I know.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

The great Gary Malarkey wore no. 5 as well.
I think Varcoe is about 700 or 800 spots behind those three greats.

For some reason I always thought he wore #13 in his time at Geelong. That may have been his number at East Perth perhaps.

 

[FredLeDeux]

For some reason I always thought he wore #13 in his time at Geelong. That may have been his number at East Perth perhaps.

He wore 5 in his 1st stint and 6 in his 2nd stint at Geelong. Maybe the 13 was at Eat Perth, as you say.

 

[telsor]

I'd say 17 for us.

Jack Dyer
Barry Richardson
Maurice Rioli
Paul Broderick
Kane Johnson
Don Donald

Agreed, but for goals..#12

Jack Titus 970
Matthew Richardson 800


#4 isn't too bad either...(anything which Royce graced has to be up there...)
Hart, Raines, Martin

 

[newcs]

That's a good one actually.

#7 from Geelong probably also rates a mention. Couch, Harry and Ben Taylor. #3 with Bartell, Fred Wooler and Toby Bairstow. Even #4 with Mackie, Bobby Davis and Alistair Lord or #9 with Kelly, Devine and Mick Turner.

Maybe put #35 amongst that lot. Goggin and Chappy, 4 premierships and 499 games between them. Scratcher Neal didn't do the number any harm either.

 

[PCORF]

6, 9, 23, 32, 34

 

[Brian Schmutt]

Number 7 for Jeff Dalgleish & Hayden Kennedy (423 games)

But my personal fave is 32 - Jacob Mollison & Darren Goldspink

Goldspink was my mentor when I finished basic training. He taught me a lot about continuously getting myself up.
