Not a bad player, Tenacious.

Wayne Wotsisname? Busy player. Wilson?

Anyway. We have to go back a ways to find 7s who could actually play.

Wayne Walsh is the guy you're thinking of, two time premiership player 73 and 74.

Interesting.
Malthouse played 121 games for Richmond but his first two years were in 22 and 28 respectively and totalled 22 games.
So he only played 99 games for Richmond in #7.
Has anyone played 100 in #7 and if not, is that the lowest number not to have a 100-game player?

Not sure.
Ray Martin 135 games.

Nathan Brown wore #7 and he was the best player in the league for 9 magnificent weeks.

THIS. We lost the best player in the comp at the peak of his powers.

That night changed legacies.

Click on his name and you see he only played 81 games in #7.
But further on down we have a winner in Allan Cooke with all of his 116 games in #7.

he sure was.

i recon Lambert or Graham will get the 7

 

[Tenacious Tiges]

Thinking again didn't Nathan Brown wear No 7 too. Another cruelled by a tragic leg injury. More Im thinking pretty sure he was wearing 7 that fateful night at the Dump. It was against Melbourne and they had a Nathan Brown too and I was sitting on the wing in the nose bleed City side and radio commentators said it was Nathan Brown with a horrible leg injury but I could not see if it was a Melbourne or RFC player and I was praying it was the Melbourne dude. That ruined Browny, our season and a few more to come after that. Thank god the bad juju has been exorcise from the club.

Thanks, Tm. That's him.

Yes. He was.

Just give it to Conca and keep the tradition going - Delist a #7 every year

I was just looking at the players on the RFC site and they have not updated it yet for next year and I was reminded that Ben Lennon wore number 7 and was thinking that this number has been a bit of a dud number of late at the RFC for quite with only Michael Mitchell, Ashley Prescott and Marc Dragacevic coming to mind since as being any good in that Guernsey since Mick Malthouse. Draga was a very good player but he was very unlucky with his leg which cruelled his career.

Think there are also bugger all 100 game players in that number too.

Hopefully the next player has more luck with this number.

Prescott got to 90, and he played 38 with Freo I think.

Malthouse wore number 7 in the 1980 G.F.
He was half the player Bruce Tempany was

Max Duffy from Freo just received a scholarship to join the Kentucky Wildcats in NCAA Football. Siposs got his scholarship too. How's Lemon going? Is he trying hard or still dreamin' ?

Hes being vibrant, high-spirited, energetic, sprightly, vigorous, vital, full of vim and vigour, animated, sparkling, coruscating, effervescent, vivacious, dynamic, flamboyant, electrifying, dazzling, stimulating, exciting, dashing, passionate, fiery, determined and then some.

Farewell Sweet Prince, we hardly knew you.

Really? Different types and size of players, but MnM managed four times as many career games as Tempany in an era when clubs had plenty of players on the list to choose from. Sometimes there's way more value in hard arse grunt players that work both ways for the team, than there is in elite stars that can't get the hard work done together because they all want to do the fancy *smile*.

Moreover it’s the intangibles they add to team spirit via leadership, coaching, vibrancy, etc.

Our 70’s teams produced many coaches. So do most great teams, that’s why.

We were talking about numbers. An attempt at humour.
Tempany wore number 14. Get it?

The RFC website mistakingly overlooked number 7 for "Players by the numbers" articles so I thought I would start the ball rolling.
Number 7. Ben Lennon.
