My favourite Bulldog for each jumper number #

[Twodogs]

Andrew Purser #1
Bernie Quinlan is the hands down #2 on my list
Peter Featherby #3 Stoneman a close 2nd.
Brad Hardie #4
Rohan Smith #5
Brad Johnson #6
Doug Hawkins #7

I'll add some more later

Tits Kennedy has to be #8. I flat out refuse to even countenance anyone else (and some great players have worn #8 in my time-Hahn, Toohey).

My personal favourite player to pull on each jumper number (starting with #1 to #20 others numbers to follow)

#1 Andrew Purser - Only played five seasons but had a massive impact. A childhood hero and a key member of that 1985 team.

#2 Robert Murphy - Nearly impossible to go past Bob. But I did love Steven Kolyniuk and will never forget that goal at the MCG to beat the Pies "Will he take Wright on, yes he does, I thought he would"

#3 Chris Grant - No more needs to be said. The best player I have ever seen in Bulldog colours. If he decided to leave it also could have been the end of our beloved club.

#4 Marcus Bontempelli - My loves grows fonder every year. Apologies to Cross who brought so much joy over the years and was as courageous as any Bulldog I have ever seen.

#5 Matthew Boyd - Hard choice. Loved Bubba too. But loved the determination and how Boyd got every last inch out of his God given natural talent.

#6 Brad Johnson - Captain. 355 games. 551 goals. Hard to believe he kicked 74 goals in a season. So lucky to see his entire career. Shoutout to Dalhaus who I just loved watching in his first few years.

#7 Doug Hawkins - Tough choice for the #7. Loved Scott West too. But Hawkins was my childhood hero (grew up with the #7 on my back) and was a key reason I fell in love with the game.

#8 Rick Kennedy - Another childhood hero. Tough as nails. Apologies to Southern who was such a fan favourite.

#9 Lindsay Gilbee - What a kick. It was a thing of beauty to watch. Also loved Paul Hudson's 100 odd games too. Such a reliable kick and always knew where the goals were.

#10 Easton Wood - Premiership Captain. Enough said. Shout out to another childhood hero, Mick Egan.

#11 Tony McGuiness - Apologies to Jack Macrae. But I just loved watching McGuiness and cried when he left to go to Adelaide. Such a penetrating kick for a little man.

#12 Greg Eppelstun - Loved the mullet and believe it or not he played for Victoria.

#13 Daniel Giansiracusa - Easy choice. No one else has even played more than 50 games in this jumper.

#14 Clay Smith - Apologies to Luke Darcy. Too young to see Shultz or Round. Will never forget the courage, tenacity and month of football he played in September 2016. Bulldog immortal.

#15 Scott Wynd - Another childhood hero. Loved watching him floating across half back taking mark after mark. Apologies to the bearded one Ben Hudson who was also a favourite of mine in the Eade era.

#16 Matthew Croft - The boy from Mildura always got the toughest assignment in an era that included the likes of Ablett, Dunstall, Lockett, Lloyd and Modra.

#17 Adam Cooney - Just loved him when he was at his peak. Could have been anything if it wasn't for his knee.

#18 Simon Beasley - Tough choice. Loved Leon Cameron too. Another childhood hero. Nearly went to every game in 1985 including the semi-final against North Melbourne at the MCG when he kicked the ton. So many beautiful memories of the pieman.

#19 Luke Beveridge - Slim pickings in the modern era for this number. But it has to be the man who led us to the promised land.

#20 Jim Edmond - Another childhood era. That team was never the same after he left.

Swap out Galaxy for no 20 and Tom Williams for 12 and my list is probably identical to yours. Controversial, but I also would have picked Boyd over Bubba.

Rick Kennedy's 8 was the first number I wore on a jumper. Also a huge fan of Daniel Southern.

I think with players shuffling numbers over their career I intend to have Boyd in at #42
Bubba originally was number 31 but I have that reserved for someone else
Grant will come in at #29

He was a fair player that #31!

Never saw that #31 play. #31 in the modern era is slim pickings. Bailey Dale? Mark Alvey? Tom Young?

Phil Krakour wore #31 for us. I think after KT left we got a little bit petty and started to deliberately give it to players who didn't have a close connection to the club-it was a real pity.

42 will always be Picko for mine.

Darren Baxter! What a blast from the past, what a story.

It just dawned on me that Mofra might have been referring to Shaun Baxter

Well he needs to get his act together if that's the case.

Damn, I was too.

I remember liking Darren Baxter as a player though. Still don't know why we traded him.
