Strange player number behaviour

[Procrastinator35]

Would statisticians include the jumper numbers worn by Franklin and Burgoyne? Both are wearing 67 tonight

See post 142 above.....With An * I'd of thought.

 

[Plugger46]

Robran 5 --> 10
Koster 9 --> 5
Edwards 10 --> 9

Actually it was
Robran 5 --> 10
Koster 9 --> 5
Edwards 37 --> 9
Chris McDermott got delisted and he wore number 10

Bumping this to ask a question I asked on the main board:

Bradley Hill and Blake Acres not only swapped teams in a trade, they’ve also swapped jumper numbers. Hill got Acres’ number 8 at St Kilda and Acres is in Hill’s 9 at Freo.

Has that happened previously? I’m sure it must have, but nothing is coming to mind.

I wouldn't have thought that was a scenario that was plausible enough to assume that it 'must have happened'

I'd be more surprised if it has happened before than if it hasn't -

Brodie Smith joins the Worn 2 jumpers , and in the same match

He wore 26 in the first half because his jumper was not packed/found. He wore 33 his original number after half time - Round 18 v Essendon

Is Darren McAsey related to Fisher McAsey drafted by the AFC?

Apparently! I knew his (Fischer's) father had played the one game for St Kilda:


Alan McAsey played 3 games for Footscray.

Not exactly what you're asking, but Robert Walls wore #9 when he finished at Fitzroy and John Northey #9 at Richmond. They swapped clubs as coaches at the end of 1995.

 

[Ron The Bear]

^^ The only one I can find is Jared Rivers going from Melbourne to Geelong and #27 to #25, and Tom Gillies doing the reverse at the end of 2012.

With the number of multi-player trades that have happened in the last 30 years I thought it would have occurred at least once before.

Off the top of my head I can think of three trades WCE has been involved in that got halfway there:
- Judd took Kennedy’s #5 at Carlton
- Metropolis took Greg Harding’s #3 at Freo
- Jarrod Schofield took Cummings’ #6 at Port.

1974.
Rex Hunt - #5 at Richmond.
Gareth Andrews - #6 at Geelong.

Both played the first 7 rounds for their respective clubs.

Traded for each other after Rd 7 (mid-season trades were not uncommon back then.

Rd 8 on-

Rex Hunt - #6 at Geelong
Gareth Andrews - #5 at Richmond.

Interestingly, both were big, lumbering, handy, not-quite-good-enough-to-be-a-KPP great clubmen who got the odd jobs. It would be difficult to find two players in the league more similar, so what the trade achieved for either club is uncertain.

Since Geelong finished 6th and Richmond won the Flag, I think Gareth got the better end of the trade.

Mitch Lewis.

From No. 8 this season to No. 2 for 2020 at Hawthorn.

Good get.

I think that trade only happened because Rex Hunt was transferred to Geelong for his day job first (policeman).

And to clarify Miguel's question, I think he means that the swapped players both literally took each other's old guernsey.

Well considering Acres is 11cms taller and 13kgs heavier I doubt if they took each others exact jersey . Although Rexy and Gareth might - they were the same height and similar weight (and importantly, jumpers weren't skin-tight back then).

I think you're right about Rex getting a transfer to Geelong. I imagine the trade deal was done something like this:

Richmond: Hey Geelong, you can have Rex since he's working down there now',
Geelong: 'But we've already got a big, slow, lumbering log! We don't need 2 of them!'
Richmond: 'Hey, I've just had a great idea.............................................................'

Any knowledge of players returning to their original club and getting the same number they had when they were previously there?

This season was obviously Eddie Betts, but has it happened in the past?

Peter Bell returned to the #32 he wore in Freo’s first season when he returned in 2001.

Trent Croad went straight back into the #24 at Hawthorn after two years in the west.

Another quirk with Bradley Hill is that he's gone from #10 at Hawthorn, to #9 at Freo, to #8 at St Kilda

After starting with No. 32.

Well, that just ruined the joke!

 

[emuboy]

I seem to recall that jumper number 13 brought so much bad luck for Brisbane players who wore it in the early 1990s that the Bears removed it from their jumper sets.

 

[Post padding]

Has there ever been a first yr player score a single digit number
( start up clubs excluded )

From your own club and off the top of my head: Andrew Walker (1), Jack Silvagni (2), Paddy Dow (2), Marc Murphy (3), Bryce Gibbs (4), Lachie O’Brien (4), Josh Kennedy (5), Sam Petrevski-Seton (5), Kade Simpson (6), Dylan Buckley (7), Matt Kreuzer (8) were all given single digit numbers when drafted.

Thanks heaps mate!

3b. Players who have had three different numbers at the same club?

Wikepedia says that Brad Wira went 45, 29 and 24 during his 2 stints with us..

 

[Todman]

Bernie Jones started at Hawthorn in 31, traded to Essendon 14, and when he returned to Hawthorn wore 39.
