Was Number 10 Nightmare on TBV. Changed name slightly when moving here. But apt when you look at the past 20 years or so....Brad Shine, Barry Mitchell, F**king Mansfield, Mighty Mick Martyn, Johnno.

I propose that the club should retire the number immediately to end this run of mediocrity.

Agree on Gags but over the past 20 years has there been a good'n? Most of the other smaller numbers(below 20) have had a player of distinction in that time but not #10.

A pretty good run there - mind, I only included Wines and Stafford thanks to their efforts in GFs. Heh heh heh...Essendon* lost by 1 point in 1947... :-D

No, see, the VFL stuffed us by introducing the 10 year rule. No good players have worn #10 since Gags left. Well, maybe Mangels. Maybe.
