[Hahndozer]

Must say Simon Atkins was a fave of mine as a young fella..

Another Hawk I recall well was Loveridge.

Another Hawk I recall well was Loveridge.

Kenny Judge as well.

Mitchell White at the Eagles used to don them.

 

[Gainzo]

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.

Good call.

For me it would go like this:

1). Barker
2). Flower
3). Tuck

Yeah, i recall him in long sleeves running away from an angry Bews one game against the Catters!

Wirra wears them more than any other current Eagle, but not too often.

 

[conodie05]

Medhurst sports one ocassionally. Not my favourite player though. I'll get back to what I was doing. Sorry for interrupting.

 

[Pj.Rj.Hj]

Pretty sure Guy McKenna wore them often though not exclusively.

 

[EBUS]

Ive seen Fev wear em a couple of times

 

[The old campaigner]

didnt bradley plain wear long sleeves coz he had tats and didnt want his mum to know?

from north that i can remember:

allison
mark 'fridge' roberts

i only saw carey wear long sleaves like 3 times and the first time i saw him do it was the night he did his shoulder (being under 11 the other 2 times he wore them i was scared he would do it again lol)

 

[half_back_flank]

Suprised Ronnie Burns hasnt got a mention yet.....he wore long sleeves and that stupid T-Shirt as well

 

[Plugger35]

Aussie Jones.

 

[jayaa01]

Lappy!

What was the go with them skin tight Carlton Sleeves? looks shocking.

I think I recall Ronnie Burns being fined by the AFL for cutting his long sleeve into a 3/4 or 1/2 sleeve once.

Do people remember that wet, freezing cold day at Kardinia Park a few years ago when the whole Freo side come out after half time with long sleeves on? I think I recall Geelong giving them a fair old touch up and the media that week just gave it to Freo, calling them Soft and weak etc.

I also recall KING Carey pulling on the long sleeve on the odd occasion.

Didn't a few of them end up with hypothermia? I seem to recall the temperature was 3 or 4 degrees.

Another brownlow medalist Brad Hardie used to wear them.

This was because as a teen he had 65% of his body burnt (mainly upper
body)

Some St kilda players of memory who wore sleeves.

* Stephen Milne - Had the 3 quarter sleeves early in the career

* The Wakelin Twins - on those cold afternoons at Waverley

* Harves - early in his career

* Raph Clarke - Skinny and i'm guessing didn't take kindly to the cooler weather down south

* Barks - All the great pictures of his hangers you will see him resplendant in a long sleeve jumper.

Great idea for a thread !!!

 

[PAFC_1870]

SOS and Wanganeen

 

[Bomberlicious]

Proof that this guernsey did indeed come in longsleeves. I stand corrected.

I reckon Lambo had grass allergies, hence the longies.

 

[magic_johnson!]

wells wore them in his 2005(??) jacky chan goal of the year

 

[Azzurri Blues]

The biggest stars to wear long sleeves were easily Bradley Plain and Simon Atkins....

Surprisingly no pics of bradles....
