Toast Bulldogs Who Played In Long Sleeves

Nice one. Before scrolling to the name my immediate reaction was Stephen Powell. Fair resemblance in that photo (and my mind!)

Colin Dell!

Sandilands and Stephen Power

Dohh should give the guesswork away

 

[Mr. Walker]

1985 - a era light years away from post 9/11, how the world has changed. These days he'd be sent straight to Guantanamo Bay.

Wasn't the second part of that story that Tony Buhagair (spelling?) stole a cabin stewards jacket and pretended to be a steward on the plane. Today both players would still be in jail.

Powell was a left-footer (although fair kick on his right).

Good pick up, I didn't make the connection without the pornstache.

Love this photo too, two of my early favourites.

Two local FDFL boys - VFL would have been a piece of cake after local junior footy!

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.

My house with Shane Loveless number 2 on the back and its close to priceless!!

My memory has burnt in images of Rick Kennedy, Peter Foster, Michael McLean, Michael Egan, Ian Dunstan, Steve McPherson, Ian Morrison, Peter Featherby, Bruce Reid, Tony McGuiness, Laurie Sandilands and many more in long sleeves. Can't find any evidence so far though.

Michael Egan i remember as a consistent long sleever

Brian Cordy?

I think the photo is Graeme and he was the 80s version of Ayce and Zaine is the current day version of Bryan

Those facial expressions!

"I love you Granty..."

"That's enough, get off me, kid."

Not quite. There was a 3rd Cordy (and as in the case of multiple siblings the youngest is often predicted to be the best). He played U19 if I recall, not sure he got much further. Roger was his name.

Neil, Bryan & Roger were the 3 brothers. Ayce and Zaine are offspring. So if we are talking Cordy as a family, it's FIVE.

A fifth brother, Homer Cordy, was wooed by soccer scouts and did not play Aussie Rules

Another photo from the EJ biography. Lionel Ryan is the long sleeved player jogging with EJ and Peter Box.

Awful match. Think we didn't hold a mark in the warm up and Lloyd had 5 at quarter time. Don't think there was a long sleeved version though?

Funnily enough the Hawks also wore a similar heritage one like that a couple of years later I think with less stripes. Can't remember if they won in it or not though.

Strange to see the hawks in these colours? But here's proof.
