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

Harold BRAY 156 games 15 goals 178cm 76kg DOB 5/07/1920

Jumpers
31 1941-42
12 1943; 1945-52

[SteveStevens66]

19. Stephen Sziller ??????

How about the mercurial Alan Davis?

[starsign]

big V backpocket Judson 42 for memory maybe 41!

[borderbarry]

3 Ross Smith. Captain. Coach. Brown Medalist.
4. Darrell Baldoch. Premiership Captain. As such out ranks Plugger.
5. Ian Stewart. Dual Brownlow Medalist.
7. Share between Nicky Winmar and Lenny Hayes.
8. Alan Morrow.
10. Neil Roberts. Brownlow Medalist. Long term captain.
14. Tony Lockett. Brownlow Medalist. (At that number
16. Verdun Howell. Brownlow Medalist.
18. Shared between B.J. and Cowboy.
19. Alan Davis or Eric Guy.
20. Jim Ross.
31. Jeff Sarau

Pretty much agree with other numbers.

[starsign]

Brian Gleeson Brownlow Ruck 31 or 30 from boyhood memory would be walkup start either number

[starsign]

George Young 27 I think.... wizard!

[plugger66]

29. Someone has Aussie but what about Peckett, Burkie or Thommo. Hardest number to pick at the club. Also Gary Odgers.

[older saint]

As the ages vary significantly perhaps we need to make it all time. Too hard otherwise.

[oldie60]

The greatest 29 is tough. 4 Lockett, 14 Lockett and 37 Lockett.

Russel Greene wore 29 before he went to Hawthorn

[BigMart]

29..... Steven Baker

38...... Clint Jones

41....... James Gowans

39....... Jason Blake

45........ Sam Cranage

43........ Brett moyle

[Bernard Shakey]

Russell Greene is a walkup start at 29.

[Bernard Shakey]

These are the best I've seen. Many didn't get a guernsey because they only had one number.

1 Trevor Barker
2 Danny Frawley
3 Ross Smith
4 The Doc
5 Ian Stewart
6 Bob Murray
7 Lenny (Nicky why didn't you wear another number)
8 Alan Morrow
9 John McIntosh
10 Carl Ditterich
11 Greg Burns
12 Nick Riewoldt
13 Barry Lawrence
14 Plugger
15 Geoff Cunningham

35 Robert Harvey
36 Gordon Fode

46 Neil Besanko

48 Jeff Dunne

53 Justin Peckett

60 Robert Mace

[stinger]

I think Bill Stephenson was No 11 (I was about 8 years old then so I hope its right)

\\yes he was

[avid]

Grant Thomas wore 45 for several years. -- any use?


Lazar Vidovic I remember starting off in No 50.

[onlooker]

No 21 - Again going from memory which is fading by the day as an alternative to Jim Read. Barry Pascoe and maybe Russell Reynolds (from WA). He should have stayed with the Saints longer than he did.

[IluvHarvey]

22 - John Peter-Budge

[onlooker]

22 - John Peter-Budge

A real talent that Saints never got the benefit of. So much potential until I think he got an injury that either he or the club couldn't get right and ended up at R'mond (maybe).Didn't play many games there though

I loved him had 22 on my back as a youngster.

[FortiusQuoFidelius]

I reckon Gary Colling could give Nick Riewoldt a run for his money...

265 games, club captain and like Nick has never played in a premiership side...

[FortiusQuoFidelius]

And definately Sam Loxton over NDS for no 26... very handy with the bat and ball with Bradnam's invincibles too!!!

[markinUSA]

27 Barry Breen

[markinUSA]

I'd have Ian Stewart at 5 ahead of Aussie Jones.
