Title: Tigers changing numbers?
Post by: one-eyed on September 06, 2006, 05:38:00 PM
With Chaff and Staff retiring there's a few lower numbers up for grabs - #6, #10 and Cambo's rested #9. Could be another after delistings.

Anyone think any of our young guys will change and move to a smaller number? Who deserves to wear the number 9?

Our first draft pick should get 9

There is a rumour on Big Footy that it has been reported on a Perth radio station that Staff has been talked into playing one more year. 

Thats all thats been reported at this stage.

IMHO Foley should get number 9

On BF, Limbach_19 said Foley is keeping 41 (although I like WP's idea of giving him 9) and Blingers is keeping St Francis' number  :clapping.

8 and 18 are now also free lol. 8 has been a bit of dud number in recent times when you think of the greats who have worn it over the years. I bet Petts is glad he switched to 15.

Maybe Foley is a Scott Turner fan - a bit of mongrel so he wants to keep 41. Still think he should wear 9

Numbers 6 & 10 are free now as well

Give him 8

It will remind me of the pick in the draft that we lost.   :banghead

Just kidding guys. Though I don't like the trade much, I will give him a go until he proves himself one way or the other.

I reckon Polak may get 6 or 10 - with my preference being 10

And our first round draft pick number 8 or 9.

Although I still reckon Nathan Foley should wear number 9

And I reckon if Nathan Foley doesn't want No. 9 then perhaps we give it to young Matty White :thumbsup

I would give Polak 18.

I think 6 would be appropriate for Matty White, he looks a similar player to Chaffey, except quicker.

In the Pulse section of the Herald-Sun today it says Polak will get Chaff's old guernsey #6 (hope it fits lol).

Okay guess what guernsey numbers the new boys will get?

The free numbers are 8, 9, 10, 18, 19, 39 and 42.
Title: Re: Tigers changing numbers?
Post by: Fishfinger on November 25, 2006, 05:40:37 PM
I reckon 39 & 42. I'd expect 5 players who were already on the list with high numbers might grab the lower ones.

Connors should get 9
Edwards should get 8
Petersen should get 18
Riewoldt should get 19
just my opinion.

Petersen should get 18
Riewoldt should get 19
just my opinion.

Agree I'd give Riewoldt - 19

Petersen 8

Connors - 9

Edwards - 39 Chubba's number

and save 18 for one K Kingsley who I still think will end up at Tigerland

My guesses:

Riewoldt - 8. As a forward give him Disco's number.
Edwards - 10
Connors - 9
Peterson - 19
Collins - 39

Saw the new boys at training today. Not sure if these are the numbers they will get but this is what number each were wearing:

Riewoldt wore 8.
Edwards had 35. (White was also wearing 35)
Connors - 39
Collins - 43
Polak - 12 (Richo wore lucky 13)
Kingsley - 10

I didn't see Petersen at training.
