Also clarifying which years Thripp wore #12 and #33 would be a huge help

According to my list Craig Braddy wore 12 during Thripp's first stint, and Tim Barling wore 12 during his second stint.

1985:
38 Mark Russell
41 Robert Prosser

1982 - Francis Jackson # 31. Had a bushy black beard. Very honest, never say die

Ert,

Scott Direen definitely wore No. 43 in 1993, as that's what he was wearing in our only win of the year. He wore 33 the following year I think. Then 18 for the remaining years he was at the club.

Someone mentioned O'Farrell, he played for us in about '98 wearing No. 12, he then went to Hawthorn.

This is exactly the problem I've come across

Also - someone mentioned #27 for Richard Ambrose - if so what number did Sanford "Matty" Wheeler wear that year? (1993)

I've sorted out the Scott Direen one - thanks guys

I've got some of the easier numbers sorted right back to the early 80's
Number 7 is the easiest - thanks to Carroll and Seymour - I've got it filled all the way back to 1981
#15 and #23 right back to 1978
#16 back to 1983
#10 - I'm just missing 1983 to take it all the way back to 1980
#13 and #30 I've got every year back to '80
#3 and #4 I've gotten back to 1986
#18 I just need to sort out the Matthew Lloyd/Craig Nettlebeck clash of 1990/91 to go all the way back to 1979
#26 I'm missing 1993 but have every other year back to 1979
#29 and #31 go back to 1987

I have gaps all over the place in the other numbers

Come to the Alex hotel today and maybe after the game you can get a quiet moment with Harry Mcasey ... he was there in the 80s. He also keeps in with the past players group and should be able to help out.

I would've loved to - but being from Victoria I was at the after match in Melbourne!
I might drop Tony Morwood a line, I'm sure he would know a few!

Just thought I'd give it a bump after two pages of threads on how bad yesterdays umpiring was

Ert

Was John Roberts no.10 in 1983.

[Nico]

Sorry Encyclo of footballers says Roberts finished in 1982.

[Nico]

Craig Braddy 1982 -85 and from what I saw on the TV last Friday he wore no.12.

[Benevolent Ert]

yeah, I've got Braddy and Roberts in 12 and 10 respectively
Looking for who wore 10 between Roberts and Barry Mitchell

[Benevolent Ert]

Still hunting folks!!!!
Thought I'd bump it back to the top again!

Some numbers from 1978:

1: John Murphy
6: Colin Hounsell
14: David Young
