26. Richard Douglas - Considering he has been labeled as a bit of a tough nut, the number is somewhat fitting
19. Darren Pfeiffer
28. Bernie Vince
1. Alan Obst
6. Jonathon Griffin

Well.. I'm asian and I must say Bernie Vince has the best number. The number two meens easy, while number 8 meens rich. The 28 meens Easy to get rich.

Hopefully Mathew Smith hasnt left any resemblance of his footballing talent on the Number 1 Jumper.

Obst gave me a real scare when I saw him kicking standing still. Probably hit one in ten and thats being generous. Was relieved to see him kick a lot better on the run but he sure needs work. Great mark and athletic though.

What's so surprising about Obst wearing #1?

history.

 

[ICanDressMyself]

history.

Who would you prefer to wear #1 then?

 

[Crowz Gal]

Who would you prefer to wear #1 then?

They should retire it

 

[Stiffy_18]

Who would you prefer to wear #1 then?

No one. They should burn #1 jumper

 

[jo172]

#1 has been cursed since Anderson and #6 since Mods! However statistical probability tells us that sooner or later these numbers have to start producing some decent players!

Sadly it seems another year has passed without a 114, my one time number!

 

[Alex99]

No one

Put the number # 1 jumper out for prosperity as Mathew Smith gave it such a legacy that shall never be forgotten……for a very, very long time.

Yep, it should be retired - and draped on a bust of David Gallagher for footy arts sake, with the whole package bearing a plaque "The complete dud"

 

[Crowz Gal]

#1 has been cursed since Anderson an!

third time lucky........

I feel for Obst. I wouldnt like to wear that no. at the best of times (would make me feel superior)

Spose he couldnt get worst then Smith??

 

[Stiffy_18]

He didn't exactly have a great choice of numbers either. By the time Douglas, Pfeiffer, Vince and Griffin took theirs, Obst was left with #1 (Matthew Smith ) or #31 (Ben Marsh )

Not much of a choice there.

Numbers 1 (Matthew Smith), 31 (Ben Marsh) and 38 (David Gallagher) should be banned for ever. I guess Obst and Hinge are doomed

And the irony continues

Same draft number (48), same playing number (1), Same amount of AFL games (0 ) and same playing position (CHB) (enter twilight zone music)


But Obst can hold his own and will get a game unlike Mr Smith.

I suspect Hinge is waiting till next year when number 3 and 4 are available.

It could go the other way

Poor Travis Varcoe has been offered the Geelong number # 5 and has to try and follow in Graham “Polly” Farmer and Gary Ablett foot steps


What would be more daunting Smith, Gallagher and Marsh or Polly Farmer and Gary Ablett? Something is telling me to take the challenge to rid the AFC of the cursed jumper and wear the #1 or #31

Both ends of the football spectrum.

Opposites attract?, reverse psychology??, +ve -ve somebody help me here....

In other words which ever way you look at it, we are screwed and Obst is crap

There are more similarities. The 2000 Draft and 2005 draft were both rated as weak but even drafts

Twilight Zone

Lucky he plays for Centrals not Sturt. Curse broken.

 

[- PC -]

If he was at Port he would be captain

 

[Alex99]

If he was at Port he would be captain

That was our problem

At the Crows every supporter hated the player who wore # 1 (smith), at the Power ever player hates the new guy who has #1 on his back.

My opinion, quote myself , If I may do so
