Bad guernsey numbers...No 16

[TheGreatBarryB]

No 16 for starters. This number has copped a caning over the years. Paul Barnard helped put some badly needed pride back but it was stripped away by Kepler.

Pears looks to be one of the most talented to wear it going back last 40 years.

[TheGreatBarryB]

Sorry mate, maybe No 17 will make you feel better (apologies to Stephen Carey & from what i've heard Gerlach)

Almost guarantees who'll be shite!!! Sheesh!

I was thinking about having 16 stitched to my own Bomber guernsey years ago.. then Barnyard retired.

 

[ghostdog]

I feel sorry for any poor bastard who has to do justice to number 5.

 

[yaco55]

Wayne Beddison played 8 to 10 games and then went home to the country.

He would have been an absolute star and would have played in the 84 and 85 premierships.

As a point of comparison he had a similar style to Steve Johnson.

 

[Grey Smith Bar]

#16 has had 4 goals in a Grand Final win. That's not too bad.

 

[daffo]

17's list looks a fair bit worse then 16. You add Jay Nash to that list and it may look even worst.
I can't see Nash getting back into the side which is quite sad for me, thought he could of been a player if he was moved away from defence.

 

[Boucks09]

Who the **** is Robert Stevenson? I remember Sporn playing in the 17; he was a real dasher.

The best thing Lalich did was get the tap out in the centre square which lead to the clearance which lead to Lucas kicking the ball to Moorcroft who took mark of the 4th age of Middle Earth.

He played his first game on Gary Lyon iirc back in 94, sheeds talked him up as he usually did the young blokes but he didnt do much after that. The dogs gave him a shot later on.

Hmmm still not ringing any bells. I was only 10 but I remember nearly all players from 1993 onwards.

Perhaps it was one of those players who we just wanted to forget ever playing for the club?

Thanks for the explanation

Hahaha.

 

[M29]

Darren Walsh! The next Peter Matera if I remember correctly. LOL.

 

[yaco55]

Darren Walsh! The next Peter Matera if I remember correctly. LOL.

That was a quote from a newspaper article befioe the draft.

They interviewed a guy who had watched heaps of TAC Cup footy - Who provided his smokies for the draft.

Darren Walsh was one player mentioned and this guy compared him to Peter Matera.

 

[COACH__JB]

keplar bradley was alright

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

keplar bradley was alright

Yeah, for Freo.

 

[Synth]

keplar bradley was alright

FAIL OF THE CENTURY!

I watch him now and I still cringe for freo's sake.

 

[yaco55]

I am surprised that nobody remembers Wayne Beddison.

He was a Shooting Star, but there must be some one over 35, who posts on this board.

 

[7zark7]

16 was my number.

Same

 

[Haduken]

Same

It's ok, it's ok. Tayte will save you

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

FAIL OF THE CENTURY!

I watch him now and I still cringe for freo's sake.

I remember an article a few months ago in the paper here in Perth, and some guy said something along the lines of

"Though he is probably loathe to admit it, Keplar Bradley is probably the most versitile player in the AFL"

That's right, some person actually said something like that.

 

[JennaJ]

I'm sure Bradley Plain wore no. 16 at Essendon in the early 90's

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Plain was 14.

Just continuing on with a few more numbers


28 has been a bit disappointing. Epis the best and Weston a key part of 2 prems. MJ only wore it for a couple of seasons.
Some disappointing names though.

Yaco you are forgetting his leap, he would have been almost better than vander

I remember seeing him take a hanger inbetween the point posts at the scg, think it won mark of the year. TODD RIDLEY WITH ABILITY
