      And don't forget 51 - Michael McLean!!

      Out of interest, does anyone know if that is that the highest number a Bulldog player has worn?

        Libba wore 60 in his first 4 games.

          Mark Hunter wore 64 for a half one day at Waverly, his 44 got ripped in the second quarter and he didn't have a second jumper to change into at half time, so he wore 64

          Obviously that wasn't permanent of course.

              51 never seemed like a big number on him. It seemed light and easy to carry. The "1" helped, not to mention his nimbleness.

                He did wear it well didn't he? It looked ok on the back of my duffel coat too!!

                  Missed it. I like the concept though. Make a number your own, rather than piggy-backing onto a former champion's number.

                  Would be happy with that.

                  I took the number 7 off my guernsey when Dougie left to Fitzroy. Have never worn another number since.

                    As a younger bloke (started following footy in the mid 90's) I always picture the #7 as West.

                      I know it's probably not the right thread but just saw the guys doing their promo video for next year and noticed a couple of number changes. Looked as if the rest were wearing their numbers from last year.

                      Easton Wood- 10
                      Justin Sherman-11
                      Jason Tutt- 15

                        My Pup's would agree, but it was always the Hawks number for mine.

                        Same for me with the 3 jumper, my Oldman it was EJ's and to me was Grants.
