The captaincy requiring the chosen to wear No 17.

[1965]

Just haven't seen anyone wear with pride since Rioli, so what's the point

So Paul Broderick didn't wear it with pride? Didn't deserve to wear it?

How many years ago did Brodders wear it? Perhaps daniel never saw him..

BTW Maurice wasn't captain either.

I think Broderick's, from memory, number was 17 anyway.

Don't think Paul was ever captain.

In the future, all captains will wear 9

I agree, no disrespect to Jack Dyer but this was always a stupid concept and should be dumped whenever the next captain comes along.

Most players would prefer to keep their original number I would think

[gerkin greg]

In all seriousness, Chimp has stated before that nothing would make him prouder than wearing the #17 – a few players have.

It's history and symbolism obviously means something to the playing group, even if it doesn't to the ferals, and I guess that's all that really matters.

Hear hear let Cotch do the number justice

Ooh im sorry i didn't realize Broders was captain? Kane Johnson though gee wiz how inspirational was he with his 20 metre set shot behinds. Please give me a spell

I'm in favour of players wearing 17 but why does it have to be the captain. Its complete BS.

whether your 17 or 70 u should wear the jumper with pride. Enter Steve Morris and Tuck. Those are players i really enjoy watching. Not gifted with talent but give it their all and within the rules not like spud Jackson

Cotch stays at 9. Old school leather face mentality don't need it

since when was Rioli captain?

With due respect to Cotch (and the late, great Jack), I would hope every skipper following whoever gets to wear whatever number they are issued initially.

Thanks for pointing that out. Cheers. When was the concept introduced Martello? to give 17 only to captains

Since about 2001 from memory. When did Rioli play or Broderick play?

I said  the number should be worn by ANYONE who is fitting.

Sugar and Newman. Yep great inspirational leaders they are

[Penelope]

thats not what you said;

Just haven't seen anyone wear with pride since Rioli

is what you said.

When WP pointed out that broddo did the number proud your smug retort was

Ooh im sorry i didn't realize Broders was captain?

as if it was wp that was the fool.
 
The world according to daniel is one messed up illogical place.

[Smokey]

FWIW I like the concept, have from the start.  It's something that we started as a club and sets us apart from others (I think Port may have followed by using #1 but I may be mistaken).  We all bemoan players that don't appear to play for 'the jumper' in this professional arena yet frown upon trying to create a sense of pride and tradition with our captain's number.  Go figure.

[Francois Jackson]

 
true i said "im in favour of anyone who wears 17 but why the captain", and not  "the number should be worn by anyone who is fitting". uum who gives a flying f.ark how i wrote it. The meaning is the same you twit. No wonder the world is gone so correct with the likes of you living in it.

pretty sure WP can defend himself but continue on being a little teenager

[Penelope]

 
perhaps if you said what you mean rather than expect people to translate stupidity into something sensible

funny little mixed up boy.

More than good enough for me
