By the Numbers #4

[haydo]

It's funny how some (actually a lot) of people wanted Jenkins dropped for Riley O'Brien mid way through last year. He had a sensational back end of the year and now people are close to rating him as the best #4 at the club over-taking Matty Clarke and Tippett. Boy how some can change their mind so quickly

Clarkey for mine. Great tap ruckman and fed our mids for a decade. Too early to judge JJ, but I expect him to either equal Clarke by the end of his career or surpass him. Still a lot of upside there and hope he reaches his potential.
Tippet? Never rated him and still don't. Not a team player.

Tasker was the only player up until 93 to keep that horrible yellow collar on his Guernsey (sorry so did A jarman but the collar suited the long sleeves)

Tippet and Clark are the two best.. Jenkins is on his way though.

Just a sharp dresser......

Tippett was very good while he was with us, and while I'm very glad he hasn't been as effective at Sydney I'm not going to mark him down for that here, only going to rate OUR best in the #4 and he's it.

Edges out Jenkins for two obvious reasons, his ability to clunk a pack mark and his better ruck work. Having said that I tend to agree with Carey that rucks are overrated which is why Clarke misses out.

Sean Tasker's 'nearly' 1993 Semi-final hero status needs to get a run, what was it? 5 shots on goal that were all punched through right on the goal line, mostly due to awful shepherding attempts by Stuart Wigney and Randall Bone in the goal square.

Poor Lance....nobody even gives him a mention...

Ready for #5?

Swear I can remember seeing a pic of him in a Crows jumper in the News, with the #4 next to his name. Not even sure if he hung around until the end of 1991.

He wasn't in the final 52.

I think I remember him being in the initial training group. They had around 60 out at one stage.
