It will raise debate on which is the most famous number worn at Geelong, 4, 5 or something else?

NO5 the clear winner I couldn't split 26 and 35 for second place.To me #5 is still comfortably and easily number one.
Purely due to Gary Ablett, Polly Farmer, and then perhaps Gary Malarkey (in that order too). Then you add Jack Evans (premiership player in 1937), Syd Smith (premiership player in 1952), and Varcoe it's hard to go past.

(* - amazing how frequently key forwards, and pretty good ones - fill in #23 and #26 for us).
Most forwards would have their goal averages go down in finals... They are coming up against good defences/defenders and arent going to be able to kick big bags against scrub teams.He will but it's in the finals we need him to kick plenty of goals.
He has a 2.55 goals per game average during H&A.
That drops away significantly in the finals to 1.77 goals in finals.
Eerily similar to Hawkins I'm afraid.
Just reading this post makes me pinch myself and ask is Jeremy CameronJust my opinion - but re the jumper number i would have given him number 10 ( if it was available )
Reason for that - i think he is the closest player Geelong have had to the great John Sharrock
Booming left foot kick - and how he moves half forward / centre half forward - he is probably a little bit bigger than Sharrock - but Sharrock did play one year quite a few games at FB- so he wasnt small either
But Cameron is like Sharrock - all class - dangerous - quick - long left foot kick - lets hope he kicks plenty of goals

That we acquired arguably the best forward in the league?Given how many have come across from other clubs I don’t see what’s so surprising.
Based on 2020 results, I'd say we acquired him 14 years ago.That we acquired arguably the best forward in the league?
