Shit, he's still on our list isn't he, I'd forgotten about him like he'd been delisted..

Yes I would like that too.

re: numbers being important. it's disappointing some people don't think it matters
i think at some clubs don't they get the new recruits to research the players who've worn they number they get?

17 hasn't been worn by any other player than scot burns for a long time, that number is important, no question.
SSB has almost lifted it to No.5 or No.22 proportions.

as an aside, anyone remember the rumour No.42 was coming out of retirement to be handed to Billy Morrison?

 

[DoubleO7]

Yes I would like that too.

Make that three.

 

[Keele]

hmmm i would put Gavin Brown and Darren Millane as most courageous

Then you never saw Des Tuddenham play

And they say Harry Collier was the same


When Tuddy went to Essendon he scared the sh*t out of players at training with his attack on the ball... and that was friendly

I think it was Albert Collier who Jack Dyer famously said was the only player he was afraid of.

 

[duds0101]

It is confirmed as Beams - on his facebook he has comments congratulating him on the 17.

 

[MagpieGirl_13]

Most of us don't. Its only the under 18's on here that do

Bullshit.

Shit, he's still on our list isn't he, I'd forgotten about him like he'd been delisted..

Oh yes he is..... pity there isn't a damn thing you can do about it either

 

[THATSGOLD]

WORD IS he YOU havent got a clue whos getting allocated numbers, can anyone confirm?
WORD IS im gonna make something up because its bigfooty.
I read it on bigfooty that beams will get more tattoos.

Jabso.. that is correct.


Both the Colliers were legends in their time. Fellow players were said to worship Albert.

Harry played in 6 grand final wins and both won Brownlows. (Only brothers to do so I think)

Harry was suspended for 14 weeks and missed the 1938 GF which we lost

 

[Jabso]

There's no doubt that we have the best two sets of brothers in AFL history in the Coventrys and the Colliers. All 4 were greats, even icons of their times and the best players in their positions (Syd probably most inspirational best allround, Gordon best full forward, Harry best rover, Albert best CHB).... of course from old descriptions of them.

 

[duds0101]

I reckon Beams has got 17 - although his facebook doesn't confirm it I still believe he does actually have it.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Why do you guys care so much about what number a player gets? You are all just going to overhype them anyway..

Disregard this newbie fellaz. Every club has their supporters that pay special attention to guernsey numbers, and your club isn't any different. Continue...

 

[Dave The Man]

I reckon Beams has got 17 - although his facebook doesn't confirm it I still believe he does actually have it.

Well I doubt he would put anything on it until it's Officially announced by the Club

 

[THATSGOLD]

[DoubleO7]

yeh man faceeeeboookkk oofficalllyyyyy and stuff awesome rad no 17 captain mannnnnnnnn

wtf?

 

[Ryan The Man]

wtf?

That's why you should keep away from drugs.

 

[Col Davies]

Bullshit.

Let me see if I'm correct.

You are under 18, right?

 

[duds0101]

Well I doubt he would put anything on it until it's Officially announced by the Club

Why not - This is personal social site he can say what he wants legally.

I'd put money down he will be no.17.

 

[MagpieGirl_13]

Let me see if I'm correct.

True

 

[Rohan Coventry]

Give it to Harry.
