No 17 was Ray Cross.
I knew him fairly well as he worked at the same company as me.
He was a pretty hard nut half back flanker.

Kevin Roberts 23.

I think Steve Roberts might have been 30, but can't swear to it.

From memory and stand to be corrected.

Jim Wallis had number 11. He was yet another great player who injury took from us after just a few games (39). He came from Quambatook, was a sensational mark, if not the best kick. He did his knee after 2 games in 1965. It was unclear whether he would ever return so his number was kept open in 1966.

Rob Morton played 42 games and wore number 14. He played 10 games in 1965, including the GF. The circumstances of him leaving the club were a bit murky. I think he wanted to go bush but we wanted him to stay. He was a forward/ruck type but a bit slow. He too was an unreliable kick (yes, I know you are saying, what has changed!)

Ted Schwarzman wore number 32. But here is a funny thing. When I went to one of my resources (The Point of it All), it lists he, Ian Rowland and Jon Lilley as emergencies for the '66 GF. I didn't think we had emergencies then, but we might have. More strange, neither Schwarzman nor Lilley had played a senior game in 1966. Ian "Doggie" Rowland had, and was stiff to miss out, having played every other game for the year. except for two mid year when he was injured.

The other numbers I don't know. In those days, players came and went during the season into the Reserves from the Under 19s. I kept all my footy records for years until my last move, when some culling was done.
