Toast Bulldogs Jumper Thread

[Fossie 32]

This thread was originally 'Bulldogs Who Played in Long Sleeves' but on the excellent suggestion of Freshwater have changed the title and hope to have people contribute any thoughts on our jumpers past or present.







Here is one player with long sleeves I was thinking of - founding member of the Mangarook Footy Show

Fish Creek was a good get in the other thread. I have a nagging feeling Luke Darcy wore the occasional long sleeve as well.

We've had two Brownlow medalists that had to play in long sleeves because of serious burns.
I'd love to see the hoops back on the sleeves as they ought to be.

Simon Atkins was a personal fav of mine.

Steve Kolynuik regularly would also go long sleeves

Same here. That hair was epic

 

[Yojimbo]

Brad Hardie also wore long sleeves and i am noticing a very
disturbing trend, there is a lot of ugly portly gingers who
done the long sleeves to hide their shame.

Note- Are redheads sensitive to the cold or is it a quasi
security blanket.

The great KT was often a long sleever.

Think I recall Murph wearing long sleeves in a few of his early games?

The Axe was a weapon. So talented.

 

[DelRe]

How long do you need Axe? Half a second.

(I've probably butchered that quote but that's how I remember it - great book).

I'll go out on a limb and say I actually prefer that version of the jumper for long sleeves.

Is that Lachie Hunter's dad?

 

[Dog 36]

Does anyone know where you could buy the long sleeve jumper of the 80's era?

I love it!

Manage to source a short sleeved but would love the long sleeve version.

 

[The Original Swooper]

I've still got one. It's ummm very tight fit these days. Has #22 on it. Sourced from the club. I was told it was Whitten Jnr's.

"Billy" Kolyniuk wore one at times too.

In wet weather I loved the long sleeves. They got heavy (remember Ye old woollen jumpers ?), but I always felt they stopped the wet ball slipping out from a chest mark ( overhead marking wasn't my go..lol).

Lachie's dad was also named Hunter funnily enough Mark Hunter.

I spent 5 minutes clicking that "play" button where it says "click here to play video" before I realised that it was a hoax.

Kolynuik was one of my faves growing up and he wore long sleeves fairly often.

One of our early champions when we entered the league, Brownlow Medallist Allan Hopkins.

This is rare - 3 in 1 photo

That's Chris Grant, Nathan Eagleton and Mark Alvery in 2001.

The same year we also had Bob Murphy, Daniel Giansiracusa, Lindsay Gilbee, and Luke Penny all don the sleeves at some point.

The coach of the 'Plastic Frankensteins'...

My Year 7 class gave me a Brad Hardie jumper for my birthday in 1985. It was short sleeved. A Richmond supporting student organised it.

Bring back the hoops on the sleeves.

Best jumper in the league.
