Your Best by the Numbers.

Lee wrote:What number did Ken Farmer wear, KR?

According to the NAFC History database, he wore several at different times 1,2,9,14 and15.

There is a poll going on the NAFC website as to who is the best player to wear each number, Ken Farmer has both the 1 and 9 honours.

I would think there would be a lot of competition for number 1 in the SANFL greatest players.

Yes, the competition for the lower numbers will be fierce.

I'll hold out for No 13.

Also No 27, but will probably lose out there.

If you're talking about Mike Broderick I think you're right Lee.

Flaggy,

Fergy mate

Sorry oldfella, Flaggy is correct, it was Mike Broderick I was referring to.

The story so far;

Peter Jonas 45
John Platten 44
Andrew Aish 43
Mick Redden 42

Any takers for #41?

Can Mark B refresh our memories?

What number would you like remembering na nd wa wwt are complrte but ither clubs 1897-1918 and 1989-2016 done hence a big gap still to fill.

Will be online over weekend few health issues arise now and then with my meds which slows me down

Will have to catch up chambo next footy season

Yes indeed.
Maybe at Unley or Richmond.

we are up to 41 for today.
As we count down, I think people will have more names to propose.
High numbers are the most difficult.

41
The Mayor of Holdfast Bay

Again from a Dogs perspective, Jeremy Aufderheide was a slid defender who won a few flags in number 41.

Sean Chambers, who I think spent some time at the Bloods after he left Central, had a couple of good years in number 41.

Did Robbie Thompson wear 41 for Glenelg as well as the Crows?

he certainly did, was contemplating putting his name down as i read every ones posts & got to yours & you've done it for me, thanks

#41 - Lee Blake at Norwood, not going to win a best player award at this level, but as courageous as they come onfield, and even moreso off it,and terribly missed.

So candidates we've got at #41:
Jeremy Aufderheide
Lee Blake
Robbie Thompson
Sean Chambers

So onto #40.......

Darryl Brown, Sturt?

Which of those do you like the most KR?

I had a look at the clubs' websites for info on players.
Kudos to Norwood, North, South, Port for providing historical info on players including jumper number.

Yeah I have not been able to recall any West players in the 40s. I have a vague memory though of a kid debuting for us a few years ago wearing a number in the 70s. Mark Beswick might be able to help.

Hate to come across as a closet Glenelg supporter, but Jim West certainly had an impressive career, going on to play for 3 seasons at the Swans.

Ladhams was a handy crumbing forward and Havelburg kicked a couple of goals.

Ok onto #39

A few candidates in Blue..

Seamus Maloney (90s - 00s)
Andrew Downes (80s)

Stephen Schwerdt had a good career in number 40 for the Dogs and Crows...

Yes in my travels I did see that he had played quite a good number of games for the Dogs.

Wasnt Downes 36?

oops!

Scrunch, I've looked at the Norwood history section of their web site which has a good snap shot of their players. I think there are quite a few coming up shortly.
