## Resource

We are officially 1 day out from Essendon’s Round 1 clash with Hawthorn, under lights at the MCG tomorrow night.Leading into the 2025 Season, we counted down our Top 100 Essendon players since 1980.In 2026, we counted down through Essendon’s guernsey numbers. Who wore it first.Who wore it most.Which Premiership players pulled it on.Brownlow winners, club legends, cult heroes, and sometimes the obscure one-gamer that still forms part of the story. Guernsey Number 1. Over the decades, the jumper passed through many hands, sometimes briefly, sometimes for long stretches but always onto players the club trusted. _______________________ Links: Don The Stat Website | The Official Home of Don The Stat Don The Stat Patreon Don The Stat on Facebook Don The Stat on Instagram Follow Us on X / Twitter Jono / Ian
