Favourite Player in Long Sleeves

[por_please_ya]

Nathan Bassett

Amen

 

[viccles]

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

I think he should go back to wearing them. He played much better when he did

 

[Air Conveyance]

I think I remember Barry Stoneham wearing sleeves in the 91 prelim at Waverley. Cold wet day that was

For some reason i thought Wangas used to wear long sleeves on the odd occasion, but i cant seem to find an image on google to support this.

thanks to the wonder of the roofed stadium, we will be seeing less sleaved players in afl

Too easy - Michael Tuck. Played only one game in short sleeves (because it was damned hot) - the 87 GF.

I don't think it worked out for him

Another brownlow medalist Brad Hardie used to wear them.

Greetings Viewers

I think Hardie wore his to protect his skin which was burnt in a childhood accident. Anyone able to confirm/ dismiss?

Not only Andrew Jarman, but Fud did quite often as well.

Tarrant soaring over the top of 8 Melbourne players on Queens birthday '01 in the long sleeves

Great picture of Jars there! Such a great player.

Looks like Buddy had a sleeve thing goin' on once... Maybe only for this one match. Round 11 against the Western Bulldogs, June 5th 2005

Dean Rioli is one.

Long Sleeve 22:

F: Abraham, Jarman, Hardie
HF:Milne, M.White, Caracella
C: Flower, Hird, Yze
HB: DWhite,Wakelin,Barker
B: Bassett, St.Silvagni, Wirrapanda

R: Longmuir, Se.Silvagni, Tuck
INT: A.Jarman, R.Burns, Lappin, A.Jones
EMG: D.Rioli, Tarrant, N.Davis

Pretty bloody handy team that, bar longmuir. Please excuse me if there is some bygone champion i have missed. Didn't include players who wore them very occasionally. EMG's just simply didn't don the sleeves enough, or in Rioli's case, couldn't break in to the squad. Cox and gardiner dabbled in the lon sleeves, not enough to make the cut though. Josh Kennedy is another.

For some reason I read every post on this thread!

From Port, Matthew Primus looked rather ridiculous in long sleeves but i'm sure he wore them occasionally. Others I can recall wearing long sleeves include the great Gavin, Shane Bond (or was it Troy?), Adam Hueskes, Derek Murray and John Rombotis!

Good effort with the team above too.

Peter Hudson could probably slot into Full Forward...

Fair to say that long sleeves became less common after the 60 and 70's? seems some of the earlier 'greats' and a tendency for the long sleeves, unless they were all doing it. Cos i recall seeing pictures of Lou Richards, John Coleman, both with the sleeves on. Roy Cazaly's famed photo reaching up plucking the prune one handed, he's got the longy on too.

Forward pocket, especially since you named Coleman

I can't find a pic of Coleman without them, as you said it was more commonplace for players to wear them prior to the 70's.

How about Blighty?

I'm sorry you can't have an all long sleeves 22 and not have either Brad Plain or Simon Atkins in the side.

Plainy should be captain FFS.

There's your captain & vice captain right there

Brad Plain (C) - has a nice ring to it...
