Re: 2021 Jumper Numbers
#1 has some big shoes to fill. Such Bulldog luminaries as Suckers, Faz, Winmar, Willsy and Loaf. Didn't Shannon Rusca also have #1, even though he never played a senior game?

Re: 2021 Jumper Numbers

Re: 2021 Jumper Numbers
Retire the #1. No one ever looks good or comfortable in it.

Re: 2021 Jumper Numbers
Vanders to 1 or 8, Marra to 23.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Ijlia Grgic. Poor old Monster went from 28 to 1 and his playing ability halved. We experimented and the curse of the Footscray #1 well and truly got him.
I'd be terrified if we gave Marra the #1.

Great player who overcame the #1 curse at Footscray. Although he probably should have played for longer.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Burn #1 and #19 in the middle of Whitten Oval.

Re: 2021 Jumper Numbers
Found this list up to 2015:
Guernsey #1
Alan Hopkins (1925-1934) – 151 games, 205 goals
Hopkins was inducted into the Bulldogs Hall of Fame in 2010 after captaining the Club in 1929 and acting as coach/captain in 1930. He was awarded the Brownlow Medal in 1930 and was named in the Club’s Team of the Century.
Jim Thoms (1937-1946) – 120 games, 101 goals
John Kerr (1953-1958) – 81 games, 94 goals
Kerr was part of Footscray’s premiership side in 1954. Kerr was judged one of the best afield on the day, collecting 32 disposals – the most of any Footscray player.
Murray Zeuschner (1962-1967) – 64 games, 4 goals
Ken Greenwood (1967-1972) – 73 games, 7 goals
Ian Hampshire (1973-1980) – 111 games, 73 goals
Andrew Purser (1983-1987) – 112 games, 16 goals
Ilija Grgic (1993-1996) – 62 games, 92 goals
Farren Ray (2004-2008) – 75 games, 32 goals
Jarrad Grant (2009-2015) – 81 games, 83 goals
Best player in our first flag was #1... It's had a rough time since.

That's from the Dogs website and they left out as mentioned above Minton-Connel, Winmar etc... think they forgot the late 90s.

To keep this on topic, JUH has to go 23
Vanders can break the curse of #1.
