Best player in AFL by jumper number

[flackjack]

I love the the "Brett Burton a bit better than Jarrad Grant".

Jarrad Grant may be a great player in the coming years, however this is a no contest at the moment. Brett Burton is more than a bit better.

ummm.....no

 

[Wizard]

Peter Bell #32

 

[FFB1]

39 - Heath Shaw by a mile

If Josh Drummond had managed to play more than his 40 odd games he'd be pushing for this spot. So I dont sound biased, Kerr should be the #4

YBR, you seem to have Cotchin as "already" #9, beating a champion when he's in his first year, yet Rioli can't get mentioned next to Ebert and McPhee.

1 - Barry Hall (Sydney)

Tredrea's form in a shit side (31 goals/28 score assists in 17 games) has defecated all over Barry Hall's this year (21 goals/7 score assists in 9 games) in spite of all the bad press Warren has got.

The other three in contention would be Leon, Newman and Gram.

7 - Paul Medhurst (Collingwood)
8 - Shaun Burgoyne (Port Adelaide)
9 - Trent Cotvhin (Richmond) - already
etc...

Cotchin better than Gilbee atm, Crawford?. You wish. Brett Jones better than Dale Morris? Milburn would be giving Shaw a bloody good shake at #39. I'm gonna put on my blue and white glasses and nominate Harley at #2 - maybe not better, but giving Murphy a shake...

Must be a dearth of talent at #34. Officially the worst number if the popular choice is a guy who can't get a game with Melbourne. I mean, Jamar has his spot...

Wow, you've managed to squeeze in more Bomber players than the last one did Pies players. Nice effort.

Milburn?

Everyone could pile in the back of his ute for a lift home from the Awards dinner.

 

[TassieSaint]

If this is going on this years form and not form overall, than neither Tredrea nor Hall have been the best number 1 this year. Gram's been better than both of them for one, and I'm sure there's someone from another club who's been better than him.

And by the same token Hudghton has been the best number 8 this year, whilst junior burger is the better player overall.

 

[Wallaby]

I used to love this game!! Me and my mates used to play it on the way to school. Whoever's team had the best number got to bounce the ball that number of times.

I had one mate we all felt sorry for - he barracked for South Melbourne (in the 70's), and I barracked for Richmond. He never saw the ball at all! (Skilton retired in 1970).
I remember once I was feeling so generous that I listened to a long series of arguments about how good Stewie Gull (#2) was - now he was OK - but Richmond's #2 was Ian Stewart!

Good to see it still doing the rounds today!

85 - Harry Taylor (Geelong)

 

[hawks_time]

I thought that was an 85! What was with that?

 

[Thunderbird]

I thought that was an 85! What was with that?

He had to go off with the blood rule twice, blood-soaked jumpers are not permitted on the field and there were only two of each heritage jumper for each number.

I'll give you Judd > Mitchell but McVeigh has only been good in recent games, Changa has been the better #10.
