Loved Galaxy Coleman, but would have to give the chocolates to Jimmy Edmond with 154 games in the number 20.

No argument from me re Jock at #20. Number 21 anyone?

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers
He didn't play many games but I'm nominating Psycho Chicken Matty Dent for #21. Key player in a very good team and gave his all for the club.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Kolyniuk played the first half of his career with #21 so i'll go with little Stevie. Plus he kicked THAT goal against the pies.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers
I'll go Libba too. Steve Power was another great #21 but Libba is going to play 200 plus games and play in another Premiership. Number 22?

I never saw him play but it has to be Wally Donald.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers
Ted Whitten Jr. He's one of the best kicks I've seen play with us. As soon as Ted got the ball Templeton would get on his bike and lead into space and Ted would hit him on the chest every time.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers
Yes, I think Wally Donald. I have a feeling he may have been just the third Bulldog, after Arthur Olliver and Alby Morrison, to play 200 games. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this. I saw him in 1956 and '57 play a few times alongside Herb Henderson. They were a great duo.
Other than Wally, Ted Whitten Jnr was an outstanding player who was forced out by injury at just 25 years old. He was destined to play 250 plus games. And so on to #23.

Norm Ware played 200 games exactly up to 1946.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers
Roughead was never outstanding for us but did risk blindness to help get us a flag. His mark from the JJ goal overturn kick-in sealed it for us
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
