The Numbers Game – Part 3

By Clarkey on February 16th, 2012

Category: 2012 - Miscellaneous · Round: 2012 - Preseason

MAKING UP THE NUMBERS

Part 1

Part 2

The rest of the number changes across the AFL for all of you footy junkies out there!

HAWTHORN HAWKS

#4 Matt Suckling – moves on up from number 31. Suckling will be hoping he doesn’t suffer the injury plague that befell its previous wearer Rick Ladson. Hawthorn Team of the Century ruckman Paul Salmon (yeah that actually happened!) wore this number in his time at the Hawks.

#19 Jack Gunston – the Crows’ defector takes over this number from former star Jarryd Morton. Ben Dixon wore the jumper for most of the last decade. The number has been worn by somewhat mediocre forwards since Jason Dunstall hung up the boots.

#22 Luke Breust – the juice moves up from number 47 after his breakout 2011.

#31 Jarryd Boumann – the former Bulldogs listed player inherits the number from Matt Suckling who wore it last year. Stewart Dew wore the number in the 2008 premiership.

#32 Brad Hill – Riley Milne was allocated this number for the Hawks and was delisted at the end of 2011. Interestingly, brother Stephen wears the corresponding number at the Dockers.

#34 Jordan Kelly – the young defender inherits the number from premiership ruckman Brent Renouf (yeah that happened as well, the Hawks certainly have a weird history with ruckmen).

#36 Alex Woodward – Jordan Lisle wore this number last year for the club.

The others:

#40 Broc McCauley

#43 Amos Frank

#44 Andrew Bosely

#47 Adam Pattison

MELBOURNE DEMONS

#17 Sam Blease – moves up from #46 last year. The last player to wear this number for the club was Chris Johnson in 2008. Brett Lovett was a gun for the Dees in this number during the 80’s & 90’s.

#19 James Strauss – moves up from #47 last year after Addam Maric was delisted. It has been a bit of a insert random player X number for the Dees, read: Scott Chisholm, Ben Beams, Peter Vardy, Clint Bartram and Boobs Maric.

#25 Tom McDonald – no player was allocated this number at the club last year. Kyle Cheney wore the number before crossing to Hawthorn in 2010. Nathan Brown wore the number from 2000 to 2007.

#26 Daniel Nicholson ® – takes over the number from non-comeback kid Robbie Campbell last year. #26 certainly has been a bit of a mediocre player number for the club (there’s been plenty) John Meesen, Luke Williams & Daniel Ward have worn the number for the club in the past 15 years.

#30 James Sellar – the former Crow wore #29 at his previous club. Simon Godfrey was a Melbourne superstar who wore this number in the 00’s.

#32 Michael Evans – moves up from #50 in his debut season. Cameron Bruce wore this number in a solid career for the Dees before leaving/being forced out of the club in 2010.

#43 Rory Taggert – old mate bullseye gets the number as Tom McDonald moves up to #25. Guy Rigoni had a solid (albeit injury plagued) career for the Dees in this number.

Others:

#46 Josh Tynan

#47 Tom Couch ®

#49 James Magner ®

#50 Jai Sheehan ®

#51 Leigh Williams ®

NORTH MELBOURNE KANGAROOS

#2 Brad McKenzie – former Kangas’ superstar Ed Lower wore this number for the club last year. Jonathan Hay was allocated this number from the club in his brief time at the club.

#3 Ryan Bastinac – Brady Rawlings wore this number in a decorated career for North Melbourne. Bastinac wore #28 last year.

#15 Luke Delaney – moves up from #45 last year. Ben Ross wore the number last year prior to being delisted.

#28 Will Sierakowski – the former Hawks’ listed player gets the number that Ryan Bastinac has worn for the past two seasons.

#30 Tom Curran – son of Peter gets the number that Leigh Adams started his career in for North.

#37 Malcolm Lynch ® - in his previous AFL stint, Lynch wore #39 for the Bulldogs, the number made famous by Tony Liberatore.

Others:

#43 Sam Gibson ®

#44 Max Warren ®

#45 Brad Mangan ®

PORT ADELAIDE POWER

#4 Brent Renouf – the former Hawk gets the number that was allocated to Daniel Motlop in his time at the club. Prior to Motlop, Gavin Wanganeen made the number famous at the Power.

#7 Brad Ebert – wore #5 in his time at the Eagles. Marlon Motlop was allocated this number before he was delisted at the end of 2011. Peter Burgoyne played in the Power’s 2004 Premiership in this jumper.

#20 Chad Wingard – inherits Dean Brogan’s old number.

#24 Nathan Blee – Damon White was a player who promised much but delivered zero in this number.

#31 Darren Pfieffer ®– back for his third AFL crack! Pfieffer gets a number previously worn by current players Mitch Banner & Steve Salopek.

#35 John McCarthy – gets Chadley’s old number. McCarthy wore #3 in his time at Collingwood.

Others:

41 Brendan Ah Chee

45 Danny Butcher

RICHMOND TIGERS

#2 Dylan Grimes – moves up from #48 last year. This number has been one for key defenders at Tigerland with Will Thursfield and Darren Gaspar before him also wearing the number 2.

#7 Matt Dea – wore #43 for the Tiges last year. Nathan Brown wore the number in an injury cruelled career at Tigerland as did Marc Dragacevic before him.

#11 Jake Batchelor – moves up from number 31 in 2011. Joel Bowden carved out a more than decent career at half back for the Tiges in this jumper.

#20 Ivan Maric – wore the corresponding number at the Crows last year. Mitch Morton wore this number during his time at the club as did the boy from Woy Woy; Ray Hall.

#24 Ben Griffiths – Big Ben moves up from #38 last season. Mark Coughlan donned the number in a career cut short by injury at the Tiges.

Others:

#31 John Heslin ®

#38 Steven Morris

#48 Ben Darrou ®

#49 Steve Verrier ®

ST KILDA SAINTS

#10 Daniel Markworth – has big shoes to fill in wearing the same number that champion niggler Steven Baker wore for the club until his forced retirement last year.

#15 Tom Ledger – gets the number that was last allocated to Michael Gardiner. Jason Gram initially donned this number after crossing from the Lions and prior to moving up to number 1.

#16 Jack Newnes – modern day great Raph Clarke began his career in this number for the club, one year wonder Ryan Gamble was allocated this number for the 2011 season.

#21 Ahmed Saad – Nick Heyne was the player who wore this number for the club prior to his delisting last year.

#29 Jimmy Webster – Tom Lynch wore the number for the club before crossing to Adelaide at the end of the 2011 season. Webster has a little bit to live up to in this number; top Saints players Andrew Thompson & Aussie Jones started their careers wearing this number.

#32 Terry Milera – gets the number that Andrew McQualter wore for the club until the end of 2011.

Others:

#36 Jay Lever

#37 Beau Wilkes

#38 Sam Dunnell ®– tagger Clint Jones began his career wearing this number for the Saints

#40 Jordan Staley ®

#41 Darren Minchington ®

SYDNEY SWANS

#6 Tom Mitchell – SOB gets Craig Bolton’s old number, the number has had a bit of a defenders’ history at the club with Andrew Dunkley also wearing the jumper for the club.

#17 Tommy Walsh – the new Irish recruit gets Tadgh Kennelly’s old number. Walsh was allocated #36 during his time at the Saints.

#19 Tony Armstrong – is wearing half the number he wore at Adelaide (#38) if he becomes half the player he was at Adelaide he’ll be lucky to get a gig in the NEAFL magoos.

#22 Mitch Morton – Morton wore #20 at Richmond and #24 at the Eagles. Byron Sumner was allocated with the number last year. Jason Saddington wore the number during the 2000’s.

The Numbers Game – Part 2

By Clarkey on February 15th, 2012

Category: 2012 - Miscellaneous · Round: 2012 - Preseason

GIANT NUMBERS

It’s time to have a look at the player allocated numbers of the AFL’s newest club which will provide essential info for the NAB Cup 2012 and useless trivia for years to come.

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY GIANTS

#1 Phil Davis – he wore #16 for the Crows last year. Number 1 has been a bit of a graveyard for fantasy players for those who look towards omens, Jason Gram has probably been the best fantasy player to wear number 1 in recent memory.

#2 Curtley Hampton – number 2 has also been a bit of a poor number for fantasy football. Hampton is one of a plethora of potential superstars on the GWS’ list worth having a look at in the NAB Cup.

#3 Stephen Coniglio – 2011’s number 2 draft pick follows in the footsteps of other highly rated midfielders to wear the number 3 including Chris Judd (at West Coast), Marc Murphy, Michael Voss, Jimmy Bartel, Brett Deledio & Nathan Burke. GWS will hope that Coniglio becomes a player of similar calibre.

#4 Israel Folau – the last key forward to wear the number 4 in the harbour city was Plugger Lockett. Sticks Kernahan also wore the number. Izzy would be doing well to reach the lofty heights Ben Holland set in the jumper at Melbourne.

#5 Dylan Shiel – similar to #3, this number has been one of midfield jets. Shiel promises to become one.

#6 Luke Power – the veteran also wore this number for the Brisbane Lions and is the only recycled player at the club to wear his former number.

#7 Rhys Palmer – he will wear the same number he was drafted at in 2007. Palmer previously wore number 10 for the Dockers.

#8 Callan Ward – the former Bulldog donned number 14 at his last club.

#9 Tom Scully – if you flip this number upside down that is the amount x $1m that Tom will be earning at his new club. Scully wore number 31 for 31 games at Melbourne (yeah it still stings if you can’t tell). The number 9 has been synonymous with top midfielders: James Kelly, Shane Crawford, Andrew Swallow, Josh Carr and Ben Cousins. Interestingly Gary Ablett donned the number (changing from 29 at Geelong) when he crossed to the Gold Coast.

#10 Dean Brogan – ‘airport security’ wore #20 throughout his career at the Power.

#11 Chad Cornes – Chadley wore #35 in a long and decorated career at Port Adelaide

#12 Jonathon Patton – the 2011 number 1 pick will get this number in his first season at the club. The last number 1 pick to wear number 12 was Nick Riewoldt for the Saints. If Patton is anywhere near as good, GWS will have a real player on their hands (fantasy coaches will also rejoice).

#13 Sam Darley – this youngster pulled in some really good fantasy numbers in the NEAFL last year. Dale Thomas, Michael Long, Adem Yze & Daniel Giansiracusa are all more than handy players to have donned the jumper across the AFL.

#14 Tomas Bugg – another young player to keep an eye on from the Giants. Sheedy has named him in the Giants likely round 1 side last week, one to look out for in the NAB Cup!

#15 Tim Golds – is a young half back, Luke Hodge was another young half back to wear the number.

#16 Nathan Wilson – another that Sheedy has indicated will start in Round 1.

#17 Adam Treloar – another 17 year old recruited to the club in 2010. Treloar is a talented young midfielder.

#18 Jeremy Cameron – is a highly talented KPF who has somewhat flown under the radar. The most famous 18 KPF in the AFL was Wayne Carey for North Melbourne. If Cameron becomes half the player Carey was he will be a great success.

#19 Nick Haynes – was one of GWS’ many first round selections last year. A rangy utility type, he is reminiscent of fellow #19 Sam Gilbert.

#20 Adam Tomlinson – is a young KPD who will most likely be in development mode for 2012.

#21 Matthew Buntine – a young half back in the mould of Brendon Goddard

#22 Shaun Edwards – the young NT product is a midfield project player for the Giants.

#23 Sam Reid – a former Bulldogs player who wore #11 at his previous club. Reid has a mature body and a bullish attack on the ball and although not nominated by Sheedy as a starter for round 1, will be surely called upon to help out some of the Giants younger bodies during 2012.

#24 Steve Clifton – is a three time premiership player with North Ballarat. A mature age recruit, Clifton has been nominated by Sheedy to start the year.

#25 Anthony Miles – a somewhat local product, Miles is an inside midfielder.

#26 Jonathon Giles – a former Port listed player, Giles could well be their number 1 ruckman in 2012.

#27 Andrew Phillips – at 202cms he is an apt player for this club’s moniker. Is unlikely to play much AFL footy this year

#28 Liam Sumner – was one of GWS’ 700 first round picks in 2011. The slightly built midfielder has plenty of promise.

#29 Dom Tyson – the number 3 draft pick from last year. Tyson is a midfield dynamo – this number was made famous at Geelong by Gary Ablett Jr.

#30 Taylor Adams – another first round selection from 2011, Adams is a midfield bull from the Geelong region.

#31 Jacob Townsend – is a local developing utility player.

#32 Gerald Ugle – a famous football (random) name, a small midfielder/defender.

#33 Will Hoskin-Elliot – the beep test king, “Two dad’s” is a well built endurance midfielder.

#34 Devon Smith – another young midfielder with a strong attack on the ball, expect him, Green & Adams to form a bash brother manage a trois in the coming years.

#35 Toby Greene – inside bull who was a first round selection in 2011.

#36 Jack Hombsch – a young Croweater tall who can play back or forward.

#37 Setanta O’hAilpin – the kicker of Cloke wore 17 last year for the Blues after starting with #38 under Denis Pagan.

#38 James McDonald – Junior senior wore #23 the last time he pulled on the boots for the Demons.

#39 Tim Mohr – a former player for Casey in the VFL, Mohr is a key defender.

#40 Adam Kennedy – a young midfielder from the Western Jets, he may struggle for a consistent game as the Giants try to develop their top end young talent.

#41 Josh Growden – another young midfield prospect for the GWS.

#42 Mark Whiley – a youngster from Finley, Shane Crawford territory. Whiley is a rangy utility type.

#43 Kurt Aylett – a famous footballing name, GOD (Grandson of Doc) is an exciting midfield prospect for the Giants.

#44 Tom Downie – a 205cm giant Giant, Downie looks to be a very promising back up ruckman. Tom Bellchambers is a current ruckman who wears this number. #44 was made famous at Carlton by Justin Madden.

#45 Sam Schulz – another local product. The young midfielder was officially the first player signed up by GWS.

#46 Tim Segrave – is another local zone selection for the club. He is a key defender with good closing speed and will more likely than not spend most of the year developing in the NEAFL.

#47 Josh Bruce – another local KPD prospect (from Canberra), Bruce models his game on Sam Fisher.

#48 Sam Frost – picked up in the rookie draft, Frost was a highly rated (and possibly overrated) KPD prospect prior to the 2011 National Draft

#49 Rhys Cooyou – is a goalsneak originally hailing from WA.

The Numbers Game – Part 1

By Clarkey on February 9th, 2012

THE NUMBERS GAME – PART 1

What’s yo number?

Greetings, If I may be indulgent for a mo, I’ve always been somewhat obsessed by player jumper numbers and make a point before every season to memorise every one from every club – perhaps it’s a subconscious aversion to the stereotypical Melbourne supporter’s catchcry “GO NUMBER ELEVEN!” Most likely, it’s because I’m a footynerd who should get outside a little more… AFL is undoubtedly a unique sport and the culture surrounding jumper numbers is an example of this. This article will inform you of all number changes at each club as well as the numbers that new senior and rookie listed recruits will be wearing in 2012. For footynerds such as myself, this is a wet dream, for more normal folk it is a means to identifying new players in the Nab Cup, an important aspect of choosing those potential cash cow rookie priced players in your fantasy team. “GO NUMBER ONE!”

ADELAIDE CROWS

#2 Brad Crouch – will don the number 2 in the Nab Cup, although he wont be able to play in the season proper until 2013. The number 2 jersey became available after club legend Brad Moran ‘retired’ at the end of 2011. The best player to wear the number for the Crows was Wayne Carey!

#6 Luke Thompson – its three number changes in 3 years for LT. He previously wore #1 in 2010 (and vacated it for Richard Tambling!) & #28 in 2011.

#8 Lewis Johnston – the former Swan wore #23 at his previous club and inherits this Guernsey from Myke Cook. #8 was famously worn by Nathan Bassett.

#27 Tom Lynch – wore #29 at the Saints and now wears the jumper vacated by Scott Stevens last season. Matthew Liptak donned the jumper in the 90’s!

#28 Cameron Ellis-Yolmen – before Luke Thompson this jumper was worn by Jack Gunston who then moved on to #6, as Luke Thompson has done, bad omen Crows fans?
