Favourite Player in Long Sleeves

[Wizard]

Justin Longmuir - i suspect he wore it because he could never put any muscle onto his little frame but nonetheless i loved J'Lo.

Am I the only one that thinks wearing long sleeves makes a player look ****ing ridiculous?

Mark Alvey doesn't get an honourable mention?

That little dickweed doesnt get a mention in anything.

 

[Bomberlicious]

This might be the result of one to many bongs but seriously, I'm getting flashbacks of Cam Mooney in long sleeves. Anyone confirm????

I can remember Jason Mooney in them at the Swans, but not Cameron.

Neale Daniher - especially that game against Carlton!!!

Ironic that the first player u mention was Bradley Plain, when i read the thread topic, he was the first player i thought of as well.

SOS was a big long sleeve wearer, and Brad Hardie was too, to the point that at brisbane when he went there, he wore a sorn off jumper that resembled a t-shirt cos it was too hot for the sleeves but didnt want to get the shoulders burnt...

Ronnie McKewan was a regular magpie long sleever, and I reckon Brett Allison was too at the Kanga's. what about Jeff Hogg, i reckon he might've been a long sleeved wonder as well from memory. He wasn't a regular wearer, but i reckon i remember David Schwarze rolling around in them from time to time as well...

Denis Banks also at Collingwood although he wore cut-offs a few time as well.

Obviously didn't read the OP.

Contribute, or piss off.

Into the third page and I haven't seen the name Robert Flower. I suppose many of you weren't born when he retired in '87.

The OP says not to let it descend into a "longsleeves are pissweak" discussion.

I was saying that they look ridiculous. But hey, at least you feel tough for telling someone to piss off. Clap clap for you

The Jarman brothers.

That little dickweed doesnt get a mention in anything.

Ouch. What happened? Did he push you around a bit in school or something?

Yep, super tough .

Although, brown & yellow in any combination looks ridiculous.

Thanks to the Hawks "contributor", I remembered Andy Gowers.

Pretty sure he sported the Brisbane cut-offs too at some point, as well as David O'Keefe.

To clarify the Brisbane 'no longies' thing, I reckon it happened when they dropped the Bear guernsey and went for the yellow & white V -

Kevin "Skeeter"/"The Professor" Coghlan, 163cm and 55.5kg

That would have been difficult considering he would be 12+ years older then me.
He's an arrogant little twat. Not to mention the most boring person i have EVER heard on radio.

Wade Chapman was both partial to long sleeves and had a death wish.

I recall Blake Caracella wearing long sleeves, could be wrong though?

EDIT:

He did I remember too. I like when players wear the long sleeves. Wellsy used to wear them all the time in his first few years, rarely wears them anymore. My fav player would have to be Hirdy. Absolute champ

 

[Captain Kouta]

Lappy!

 

[krusden]

SOS! Full Back of the Century!!

- i remember watching many blues matches with the classic SOS being soaking wet with the sleeves plastered to him.

the memories have come flooding back now he's our assistant coach as has a magical and new found appreciation for him

and for us, barks of course

 

[Bomberlicious]

Great job with the pics guys, well done.

The Skunk, Caracella, sported the longies on quite a few occassions in the red & black.

 

[Johnson#26]

Rupert Betheras and Blake Caracella.

Also remember Damien Adkins used to wear them a bit in his early Collingwood days.

Mark Orchard was another.

 

[kolchak]

Hudson.

 

[Bomberlicious]

Hudson.

Did Paul sport them as well, for some reason I seem to think he did, especially early on.

 

[Donnybrook]

Peter Curran for the Hawks. Will stand corrected, but I'm sure he wore the long sleeves in the 87 GF when even Tucky donned a normal guernsey due to the heat.

 

[WALL-e]

After me it would be Bassett

 

[Oscarman]

Fave - Yze.

Can also recall Rhyce Shaw, Chris Tarrant and Adam Goodes wearing the sleeves on the odd occasion. I think Tarrant had the sleeves on when he took a huge grab against Melbourne on QB 7 or 8 years ago.
