I forgot to add a few No 8 possibilities. The great Alan Morrow, Glenn Elliot as well as Max.

Was Bob Murray No 6. This time last year I couldn't sleep and this time I am trying to fill in numbers

10 - Probably go Carl Ditterich ahead of Spider

onlooker · Post: # 1152973Post **onlooker** » Fri 30 Sep 2011 10:44pm

I think Bill Stephenson was No 11 (I was about 8 years old then so I hope its right)
I reckon Greg Burns might have been No 11 also

onlooker · Post: # 1152978Post **onlooker** » Fri 30 Sep 2011 10:51pm

Here's a couple more from the 66 side. Jeff Moran who I think was No 15 and Verdun Howell No 16

We all tend to rate the players we have seen, but way before I was born
the Saints had a player called Harold Bray. In the late 1940's and early
1950's Bray was third in the Brownlow and 2nd a further 2 times. On one occasion he missed out by 2 votes. Naturally he was part of an ordinary Saints team but was by all accounts are fantastic player.
He also won the Saints Best and Fairest twice, but in those days being
on the commitee or a senior player had a vote on each games Best and Fairest and being an old school gentleman would not give himself votes!

He is also in our team of the century,off hand I can not remember his jumper number (3?) but I reckon he just might deserve a spot in the "Jumper Team"

Cheers Mark

The problem is we have several players in the same number and other numbers without deserving players. #10 at the Saints is a good example

Bill Mohr
Neil Roberts
Big Carl
Spider

Bill Mohr was an outstanding Full Forward in a very poor Saints teams
in the 1920's and 1930's and was easily out best full forward until Plugger came along......

16 Verdun Howell

Nicky wore number 60 for half of the 91 EF

borderbarry · Sat 01 Oct 2011 10:39am

Lockett will always be 14 for me. That was the number he won the Brownlow playing in.
A few others for the oldies.
20. Jim Ross.
27. Peter Bennett
17. Bruce Philips.
15. Jeff Moran.

borderbarry · Sat 01 Oct 2011 10:58am

And 10 I would give to Neil Roberts. A lst and 3rd in the Brownlow in consecutive years. Long serving Captain as well.
18 I would share between BJ and Cowboy.
