We've had a couple of very decent defenders in number 8 recently come to think of it with Langdon and Lumumba as well.

Good question. My first thought was Ronnie Burns. Was very good at the cats.
but body of work as they say probably Josh hunt.

Not a huge list. Russell Renfrey has played 201 games, dual premiership player of the '51-52 era, then Josh Hunt (198) Dick Grigg (1904-1921) with 194 games and Kolo (180 games). Ronnie Burns played 134 games, and has kicked the most goals of any Cat wearing the Number 8 with 239 majors.

Not being around when Renfrey played, but I think he'd probably be the best of the group. For Geelong's history it may be the least famous low number.

Holy moley, that is quite an amazing source, and some incredible stats looking at the various Cats who have worn various numbers. Mitch Duncan (280 games) streets the next cat wearing #22, Tom Morrow with just 120. And Stevie J (253) is well ahead of the 1st Brownlow medal winner Edward Greeves, who played 124 games in the hoops as the next highest number of games in the #20.
