Reckon they might dust off the 17 for someone delicious ...
Reckon they wont
Under the Dimma way all draftees get a high number and have to "earn" the right to wear a lower number
Can't see that changing
And in this case in particular I hope it doesn't, let the kid settle in, develop. Enough pressure on him with his surname as it is
I hope for the best with Daniel, i think he was the best available for what our needs are. We definitely lack that high pressure, crumbing and creative fwd. But gee that name of his brings all types of expectations. Comparisons can be quiet damaging (Tambling anyone?). Hopefully the club comes out on the front foot and lowers expectations of him playing next year.
I think he has had the perfect pathway into the system though. Very similar to Cyril, albeit he went to Scotch. Athletically he is already elite, has all the tools to make his own name in the AFL.
