2021 Jumper Numbers

[bigwow]

#28 had the "Push Up King", Mark Merenda (initially before he switched to #8), Pete (Cheddar) Czserkaski, and Andy Preston in the early 80's era.

Fraser Turner and Scotty Homewood both had the #28 but neither ever played a senior game in it.

Both the Strangs wore it also.

Another fairly mediocre number at the Tigers apart from a handful.

Kane Johnson, when he first arrived from Adelaide.

 

[bigwow]

#15 seemed to be cursed for a while. It was Fred Swift’s number and Jamie Tape’s. Ben Marsh had it. Shorty has broken the curse, though.

Anthony Banik, started in 45, same as Shorty.

 

[bigwow]

Tapey wore #5 I'm pretty sure Carn.

Sticky was 5, Rogers had 4, both arrived at the same time.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Tapey wore #5 I'm pretty sure Carn.

I must have just remembered the 5. Pettifer was another #15 that didn’t work out.

And both went from 45 to 15

Sticky was 5, Rogers had 4, both arrived at the same time.

Yep and Rogers started his career in the pre season wearing #29 from memory.

That very first game in the pre season comp, Tape and Rogers both showed they were going to be long term Tiger players.

Bullus was also a new arrival from memory.

Pettifer started with 8, I think, then gave it up for Tom Roach, who wore 22 in his first year.

How good was Matty Rogers et al the 1995 semi final against the Bombres, one of the highlights of being a long time Tiges supporter since 1967.

The legend Whale Roberts wore 15 too, I still shake my head that we got rid of him Jackson and Teasdale for Pitura.

Yeah, that was the trade that started the rot at the Tigers.

Matty was one of my favourites, a good honest player.

 

[SCAJMW]

Matty was one of my favourites, a good honest player.

Agree TM, i reckon one of his main attributes was that he could also play tall.

 

[Harry]

Surprised no. 30 is vacant.

 

[craig]

Matty was one of my favourites, a good honest player.

Had Class but tough also and reliable in front of goal.

 

[tigerman]

Had Class but tough also and reliable in front of goal.

And good over head too.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Had Class but tough also and reliable in front of goal.

Was really good in 2000 when Richo went down early with a foot injury.

Leon Cameron wore #15 and was pretty handy.

Chris Knights also wore #15 and played very well for the Tigers in it even if only 8 -9 odd games until his Patella Tendon tore and that pretty much ended him.

 

[theglove3]

Nice one craig re Chris Knights.
And did he do it when he kicked a goal?
Vaguely remember him actually popping it as he kicked the goal.
I may have him confused with someone else.

Given Chris Knights’ injury woes, I’d put him in the cursed category.

Absolutely.
