With the list changes and retirements, we have a fair few low-number guernseys now free to go to a new home:
6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 18, 20, 23, 24, 37, 47.
Who do you think will move 'up' and change their guernsey number for 2024?

8&9 should be retired

Rubbish
This isn’t the NBA where we use 101 numbers
Where does it start and stop
KB
Dyer
Bourke
Richo
Stewart
Hart
Many other champions
Dusty soon as well

8&9 should be retired
Maybe they should be "rested" for a year or 2, they definitely shouldn't be retired.
If they did that for all the Champions in our history we'd be using numbers in the 100s.
Sure we should respect our Champions but that respect can be shown by continuing to use the numbers for our Champions of the future.

You want cheerleaders and an organist as well? Kiss cam on the crowd? Mascots taking speccys on trampolines? Seppo bollocks... :thumbsdown

Rested is what I meant.
Don't want them given to a new draftee.
Also retired numbers are not permanently removed, they can be brought back in.
I'd be disappointed if we gave our new pick 29 Jack or Cotch's number.

A retired number is normally “retired” and permanent
And since when do we give draftees that low a number that high
Would be rare as rocking horse poo and in this instance , no chance

Not usually their first season but there's been a few given away early IMO the last few years.

I understand the sentiment. I like that 9 went from Campbell to cotchin.
Likewise the 4 is very special right now. It would kill me if Hugo ralphsmith got handed it

Ralphy given 4
More chance of me flapping my arms and flying to the moon
So rest easy on that one

Hahaha it was a crude example. But hey they gave Ty vickery 29! Seriously whoever they give the 4 post dusty needs to be a jet.

Seems Juddy Clarke will wear #23 next year going by his Instagram page & him talking about changing lockers in the Sam Banks video.

In the video on the club website where they follow Banksy around for day 1 of training Juddy is asked about his new locker so he clearly has had a number change
Also the video shows as the boys are waiting to turn into the car park from Punt Road, there's a small piece of vision of some of the older blokes running laps, omes i can remember were Graham, Dusty and Nank ar the rear LOL

Gibcus into Rance's number is a big one!

Yep it's been free since Rance retired hasn't it?
Good to see that they just didn't hand out 8 and 9 straight away. Nice touch for those numbers to have at least a season off. Don't think any of the Cubs have shown enough to warrant being given those numbers.
Though would have had no issue if Jack or Trent made the call to pass them onto someone like Edwards did with is number to MJ.
