The highest regular player number was 52 by Sean Rehn

The AFL had a list of all jumper numbers by games played.
Shaun Rehn? (can any Adelaide supporter back me up on this?)
PS - Does anyone remember his "speccy" in the 93 Prelim?

Shaun is the correct spelling.

Yes, he wore the #52 regularly. I remember reading an article at the time stating that his #52 was the highest number ever seen in a premiership side, not sure if it's the highest ever used in the AFL though.

Equal highest. There was a Richmond player who wore 52 in the 69 premiership too.

Yep, was at the city end of the MCG and he just hung......awesome for a big man. Had to be one of the best games of footy I've been too and whilst I hate admit it I was supporting the Bombers that day

I pretty sure Nicky Winmar wore 69 for a time when he was at St Kilda.
Nope, played one game wearing 60 when his 7 was ripped off him at the start. Footage exists which you've probably seen. This is equal highest at the Saints I think with Robert Mace who wore 60 in his first couple of seasons with us....
