Number 3 - John O’Mahony, Ron Nalder, Leigh Matthews, Anthony Condon, Jonathan Hay, Jordan Lewis

John O’Mahony (1951-1960, Games 112) Club stalwart, was the first player wearing number 3 to register 100 games.  

Ron Nalder (1959-1966, Games 121) inherited the number 3 which he proudly wore when he kicked 2 goals in the Club’s first Premiership in 1961.  Greatly respected by his teammates.

Leigh Mathews (1965-1985, Games 332) who many consider to be the best player in the history of the VFL/AFL, he added significantly to the story of the number 3.  Named Captain in 1981-1984.  He played in four Premierships, 1971 (wore 32), 1976, 1978, and 1983 winning the Best & Fairest a record eight times.  Named in the Team of the Century 2001, Inducted as a Club Legend in 2003

Anthony Condon (1987-1997, Games 145) The quietly spoken, but a hard at the ball centre-man, he added to the lustra of the number 3 as a valued member of the 1989 and 1991 Premier teams.  

Jonathan Hay (1997- 2005, Games 149) a somewhat cult figure with the fans, played many outstanding games at fullback, a member of the 1999 Night Premiership.

Jordan Lewis, Current star, a no nonsense on-baller and has continued the legacy of number 3 being a vital cog in four premierships, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.  He won the Crimmins Medal in 2014.
