    Best Swan to wear number 3?

    Scott is back from his overseas jaunt but claims to be jet-lagged. So I figured I might as well move things along with "Best Swan to wear number 3?"

    Can't really go past Lewis or Healy, can we? Don't know much about the older names for this one. I'm going with Lewis because he was my favourite player as a kid.

      Agree, Healy was a great player and Dale Lewis was v talented, dont think we ever saw his full potential though. I remember one match at the SCG and we were all screaming at Dale Lewis about how he was playing down at our end of the field, only to get home, watch the replay and discover he was best on ground!!

        Gerard Healy was a marvelous footballer and is my pick. However I've always had a soft spot for the stylish Dale Lewis. I'll always remember his goal in the 96 prelim to get us back within a kick on that great night. Kel to Maxfield, 2 bounces long kick to Dale who marks and slots it from 20. Yeah, I can vaguely remember it.

          Nick Daffy, what a great pick up! Never forget his one and only appearance in a smashing of Carlton at Princes Park. Had not been anywhere near the footy all day, ran on to a loose ball in the last quarter and kicked a goal, then celebrated like a maniac.

          Healy in answer to the question.

            Dale Lewis, like so many great players, had so much time with the ball- others may have used it to look for teammates to hit up, Dale used it to look for a camera to make sure it got his best side.
            I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
            We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                He was actually instrumental in winning us the flag in a roundabout sort of way. If we didn't package up Daffy in the Barry Hall deal, we couldn't get the Hall deal done. It's fair to say BBBBH was instrumental, therefore.......

                        Laconical Lewis, I remember best!!
                        I recall Healy being a pretty damned fine player as well, but that stretches my memory a bit.

                          I just can't wait for the Plugger v Ben Matthews debate in the #4 jumper thread.

                            As much as I loved Lewis, Healy's Brownlow gets him over the line. A great player to watch in a great team.

                              ^^^ This one.

                              Lewis. Frustrating most times. Bucketloads of talent. Loath to use it most times. At his best, the best number 3 around, but for consistency he loses it.
