Who is the greatest #8 to ever play for your club

[South of the Yarra]

Des Fothergill

 

[My Tilly]

Wance Lhitnall.

Delisted whilst still captain. Absolute king s**t.

Probably still be an upgrade over Harry

 

[Freomaniac]

Third place behind Shaun McManus and Andrew Brayshaw

Brayshaw could take McManus in that number 8 spot by the end of his career.

 

[RAPPA]

Big Red. One of my favourite players as a kid - was adept at both playing new or the ground.

If only he played now, his weight wouldn’t be allowed to be disclosed.

 

[greekstyler]

Yep, IMHO number 8 is the enigma of all numbers, so , who is the GOAT number 8 of YOUR club.

For me, Beau Waters Westcoast

Absolute dog of a player. Lined up and knocked out Jobe Watson one day at Subiaco. Wasn’t even reported. Never forgave him.

And Darren Bewick is my best #8

One of the all time great fatties.

 

[Yeti]

Nik Suburban

Triple Brownlow medallist and true legend of the dokers.

 

[ZeppelinChisel]

Only ever got to watch Kreuzer and Fogarty. Would have to say Kreuzer.

 

[Engimal v3]

Wells, probably. Robert Scott is the other one that comes to mind.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Possibly Brent Crosswell would be the best, but didn't play that much for the club so might not be the club's greatest to wear the number.

number 8?

 

[Schauermann]

Brayshaw could take McManus in that number 8 spot by the end of his career.

He probably has already. A Leigh Matthews trophy and a Doig vs more games and being the last inaugural player on our list...

Shaun McManus was underrated and under appreciated. Stuck through for freos first final in 2003 and 1st finals win in 2006.

I loved his famous Retirement speech in 2008 saying a new good era was coming at the dockers. It didnt happen the next season in 2009, it eventually stared in 2010 and continued in 2012-15.

 

[smish]

Probably Jimmy Greaves

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

David O'Halloran

 

[SC_Power]

Probably Jimmy Greaves

8 and 10.

 

[The 4th Horseman]

Danny Southern.

 

[Osho]

I was a tiger fan back in the day, so:
Richard Clay, gentleman, winger, scholar, full back, occasional KPF, upstanding man, century goal kicker in country footy, shy and humble, 4 flags.

Giants: no need to ask, The Warden.

Des Fothergill

You got the wrong Des mate

Tuddy certainly liked number 8 - because when he Captain/Coach of the Dons he didnt wear number 1 which some would choose in that position , instead he stuck with number 8
