Righteo, moving along now. Number 5. We have a few contenders:
Bruce Abernethy, Matthew Robran (also wore 10), Kym Koster (also wore 9), Matthew Shir, Ronnie Burns, Scott Thompson.
The lucky double numbers will get two cracks at being the top dog. We have two premiership heroes in Robran and Koster....although Koster changed his number to #5 in 97 (giving club favourite Edwards the #9). Abernethy, another great Magpies player, joined the Crows in their inaugural season.
Matthew Shir was respectable but could never really make it past being a fringe player. Ronnie Burns....we expected so much from him....but everyone knows when you get players from Geelong they are duds (break the hoodoo Gore!!!)
So this leaves me with Thompson. The great Scott, Scotty Thompson. Although still playing I can't go past him as our greatest #5!! Did I mention that he is another Port Magpie
Can't believe Craigy did not play him in that first game in 2005. After carving it up in the SANFL I don't think he has ever gone back!!
