Best Collingwood player for each number

[DAWESOME!!]

Shamelessly stolen from the main board, but made specific to Collingwood, who is the best player to have worn each number in Collingwood's history? In cases where players changed numbers, go with the number they wore for the bulk of their career.

Some ideas to start off, just going off top of my head without any research. lots of these won't be the right answer, but just to start the conversation.
1 - Damien Monkhurst
4 - Alan Didak
5 - Nathan Buckley
6 - Peter McKenna
10 - Scott Pendlebury
22 - Bob Rose/Tony Shaw
30 - Peter Moore
35 - Peter Daicos
36 - Dane Swan
42 - Darren Millane

40 - Paul Seedsman

My father would say:
3 - Stan Magro
9 - Phil Carman

Greening another great 22

Captain used to wear no 1 for a while. Wayne Richardson wore it but when I first had his no on my back it was 3. Think he had 18 before that

25 Billy Picken

 

[Baird]

32 Trav Cloke?
39 Heath Shaw?

 

[Kilmo]

1 - Leon Davis (for me anyway)
26 - Gavin Brown / Ben Johnson
23 - Pebbles

 

[Kilmo]

The 36 combination of Sav and Swanny is pretty awesome.

34 - Mick McGuane
43 - Ricky Barham (later wore 1)

Rene Kink was pretty awesome too

 

[ZEV]

7 Gordon Coventry

 

[Kilmo]

Rene Kink was pretty awesome too

True, I meant more back-to-back though as seen with Brown/Johnson/Williams in 26

 

[Demonalke]

17 - Scott Burns

(have to wait until Beams retires a lifelong pie)

Just a few

2. Albert Collier, arguably the greatest player we've ever had.
6. Syd Coventry - captain of 4 flags in a row
7. Gordon Coventry - 1299 goals
15. Jock Mchale - better as a coach, but was a multi premiership player too
22. Bob Rose/Tony Shaw - can't split them
26. Gavin Brown
35 - Peter Daicos
42- Darren Millane

 

[ZEV]

2. Albert collier
39. Heath shaw

 

[Hva sher a]

19 - Craig Davies, Graham Wright
29 - Scott Russell
7 - Gordon Coventry (long before my time but anyone who played in the 4-peat must've been ok

Depth is thin for these numbers
48 - Mal Michael
46 - Frankie Raso

30 - Des Tuddenham (early), Peter Moore

 

[Greening Magic]

47. Chris Dalkin
51. Neville Shaw

I hope we continue the tradition of having a tough bastard as number 26 long after Williams.

18 - Paul Licuria

Well he made the TOC & premierships. I have to rethink everything.
