Roger Merrett wore number 25 with distinction, and Scotty Lucas has now well gone past him in terms of games played and goals kicked.

4 players wore the number 25 in senior matches between Merrett leaving in 1987 and Lucas adopting the number in 1995. Who were they?

It's either Steven Febey or Darren Pritchard.
And I don't know if either broke their legs, but I can't think of another 1986 draftee to play 200 for one club.
Given Clue 2, I am going for Darren Pritchard, as Melbourne had crap forwards in Febey's time. Pritchard had a few to kick to.
