And he wasn't that bad! He kicked 68 goals his last year with us.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 timeComment

Give Dempster a new number and retire it, that one is cursed.Originally posted by Steve
94/95 - P.Caven
96/97 - D.Myles
98 - A.Coghlan
99/01 - S.Feast
02 - L.Brockman
03/04 - S.Dempster
And that was (in the main) in a period when we weren't ****.
I guess they were all talls - I'm hoping that's why Dempster got the number and not other reasons (I'm scratching).
Funny after a few years some of the numbers get mixed up (talking about myself here)You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

Paul Kelly started in some really high number like 46.

Off the top of my head, Minton-Connell kicked over 50 goals in every year he played with us. Granted, he would have got the lion's share of supply, but in a crap team, it's not a bad effort.We hate Anthony Rocca
We hate Shannon Grant too
We hate scumbag Gaspar
But Leo WE LOVE YOU!Comment

The ones we should know are Brett Scott's, I can remmber Quirk as a rover but who knows his numberOriginally posted by Nico
Okay smartie, what number did Duncan McGregor and Bobby Bollard wear. And what about Quirk in the 80's.
I must say though Bartholemous and Corkers are good gets.
What about Begovich?

Indeed M-C was a handy full forward in the dark days, remember how awful we were at times (and we grumble about delivery to the forward line now) and I recollect (someone might have clearer info) he kicked a very reasonable percentage of his attempts.
In all the banter on numbers I have not noticed the following yet
Jim Edmund
Steven Taubert
Merv Neagle
Stuart Wigney
Robert Heal
Tim Barling
are we going to have an all up number summary or what?Sports do not build character. They reveal it....Heywood Broun
I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures......Earl WarrenComment

Terry O'Neill left foot full back?
Keith Baskin was of 60's fame - 4
Reg Gleeson - 27
Kelly's first number - 45.
Healy - 3
John Pitura - 21
Any one got Robby Grima's number.
One goal Wharton was number 20 I believe. Called him one goal because all he kicked was a goal a match whether in the ones or twos.Comment

Lindsay White - 1942-43 - 26 games 113 goals. Star full forward who spent two seasons with South when Geelong was in recess during World War II. Topped the VFL goalkicking with 80 goals in 1942Originally posted by SWANSBEST
Silent Lurker You mentioned LINDSAY WHITE wearing no 7 . Do you or any one else know anything about him? Did he cross over to Geelong? Many many many years ago in Canberra a Lindsay White played here for the local Magpies and was a bit of a celebrity . I remember seeing him play when he was over the hill..
