Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers

I can see an error. I have to slot Daniel Giansiracusa in. Let me think about it.

He's another great player

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers

I would slot Daniel Giansiracusa in just after Bernie Quinlan. He played the 11th most games for the Club and sits ninth on the all time goal kicker's list. Very consistent performer over a long career and became our super sub at the end of his career.

Merantau, You have done a terrific job but there is a chance you are underrating Jose Romero and Tony McGuinness

Yes, I think you're on to something with Jose. Not so sure about Tony. There's always a lot of subjectivity in this sort of thing.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers

Great list.

If I was to choose the 101st it would be Bluey Hampshire. He was a huge warrior for us in the ruck in the post-Dempsey era when we really struggled as a team.

Jim Sewell is 101st for mine.

Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers

Barry Hall was a better player than most on the list, though mostly not for us

Bluey was actually my 102nd. Indeed he was with us in some tough times.

Agree with you on this. But as I said my bias was for one club players although I made a few exceptions. I should have slotted Barry in. Only 2 seasons but he won the goalkicking both years and kicked big tallies.
Averaged 3.46 goals per game with us - 39 games 135 goals.
Bernie Quinlan played 177 and averaged 1.36 goals per game.
So, yes I should have had him in the top 30 players as I did include Brad Hardie and Paul Hudson and a few others.

I thought Jimmy Edmond was a little low at 82 as well. Terrific, very clever player with real presence.

Mitch Wallis at 66 is a little controversial but I guess all best lists are.
