Cousins to wear the #32 guernsey

[Smokey]

I like the tradition we have started with the captain's jumper and surely part of that tradition is the 'retirement' of the old number - there is some respect in that action too.  Give him another number - he will have enough pressure and notoriety without choosing 'focus' numbers too.

Correct me if im wrong but i was under the impression that whatever number the captain had before taking the role was put under temporary retirement to make sure it was available if and when they gave up the captaincy. If that is the case, although 1 seems popular the club wont do it. What number did he waer at WCE, would our player with the same number be prepared to give it up for a while?

I wouldn't think Cotchin would give up Number 9 to accomodate Cousins.

I dont think so either really i was only thinking out loud. 
BUT, if it did happen Cotchin would be able to get it back after 2-3 years anway and still have enough time to wear it for 10 years one would hope.

Chris Newman - No.17 (09-12)

i think Newman will captain for 4 years.

Ben Cousins i think will play maxium 3 years - so give him No.1

Carl Peterson wore 28 for the year he was with us while Sugar was captain in the 17. They wanted all the indigenous players to have their lockers next to each other with Krak, Peterson, JON and Blingers (27-30).

Richmond Tigers waste no time giving Ben Cousins the number 32 jumper
Staff writer | December 17, 2008

TIGER cub Daniel Trembath can't wait to lay eyes on his new favourite player - Brownlow medallist Ben Cousins.

The Richmond fan, 6, yesterday snapped up the first in what is tipped to be a mountain of No. 32 jumpers sold at the club's Punt Rd headquarters in coming days.

Cousins will wear the No. 32 jumper vacated by retiring Tiger Greg Tivendale.

The famous No. 9 he wore during a glittering 238-game career at the West Coast was unavailable - it had been snapped up by emerging young gun Trent Cotchin.

The Richmond faithful are salivating at the prospect of a midfield boasting the likes of Cousins, Cotchin, Brett Deledio, Nathan Foley, Mark Coughlan and former skipper Kane Johnson.

A friend was at Knox city yesterday and said the shop there was going gangbusters on the No. 32

Tivva was a popular lad lol

[julzqld]

Remember how much X loved Tiva.  Someone should buy a 32 jumper and send it to him.

Very true

something tells me though it will be johnsons best year for the club.

he should have let the captaincy go years ago, he wasn't worth it

[rbartlett]

Number 32 it is!
I will give a bit of the history of the guernsey this evening and post it on this site.

Interesting to see what the Official Richmond site has and hasnt got yet.
- I put a screen dump on my site of the club, promoting Cousins,- but not having a headshot photo!

I could be stepping on toes here but I would think the number that the captain use to wear would be place into retirerment while he was captain. And once he has finished in that job the he would automatically go back to that number.
If it was up to me this is the way I would do it. Though other will disagree with it I think it is a good idea.
So I would say no to everyone wanting to wear the number 1 no matter who it was.

I thought that was how they did it anyway.
