New numbers?
« on: October 30, 2009, 04:56:37 PM »
With the 13 delistings there's plenty of low number guernseys now available - 1 (Newy), 4, 6, 7, 11, 19, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28.  Farmer has been given #15.

Do you think any of our young cubs will change to an lower number locker?

Number 1 - isn't available. Don't they put that aside until the captain isn't the captain anymore and then they get their old number back

Polly will keep 6

I reckon our first rounder will get either 4 or 7

i personally do not like our Captain's in the No.17, just my opinion.

however, i believe the Captain's "old number" should be given to a player of his choice.

eg: Newman gives No.1 to Andrew Collins untill he returns.

Andrew Collins's No.42 gets taken.

now when Newman return's to No.1

Collins can choose any other available Number.

this will cause a lot of switching numbers around etc.

some people will say that players like to have only one number throughout their careers.

i agree totally, but wouldn't Newman rather Captain Richmond in his No.1 then No.17?

would Deledio want to leave his No.3 playing 100 matches in it, for No.17?

i don't like our Captain in No.17.

God Bless "the great" Jack Dyer, but couldn't they think of another way?

maybe on the back neck of the Captain have a little No.17 specially made for the Captain.

similar to what Western have "F.F.C" and Brisbane "B.B.F.F.C" and Sydney "S.M.F.C" ???

just "17" on the Captain.

and if Newman can not play, and Foley has to Captain, make a special jumper for him.

make the Captain feel special, Yes, they have been given the No.17 to wear as Captain, but Round 22, 2009 was Deledio in the No.17 as Captain???

doesn't have to be on the back neck, could make it on the chest next to either under the AFL Logo or major sponsor???

 :)

just my opinion!

Dustin Martin will be 7.
Polak will keep 6.
Mitch Farmer will take 15.
Foley will remain on 41.
Andrew Collins will take 4.
Robbie Nahas will move up to 26
Tambling will take 11 b/c if we pick up Josh Free he will take his old mans number of 30 in much the same way we did it with Raines and Roach and with 19,22,24,25,26,28 also available it will keep the young draftees close together in the locker room also. :thumbsup

Considering how well Roach and Raines worked out, perhaps they should not go down that path. Ohh, now I'm just being superstitious.

If we pick up Free it will only be as a rookie so I don't think he gets any favours with the number on his back, he can earn a higher number like everyone

We should give Nahas his height in inches as his number (68).  :)

Postie taking #4 has a nice ring to it but maybe he can inherit the #12 in a year's time.

Foley is a Scotty Turner fan. He had the chance to change to a lower number a couple of years back but he wanted to keep the legendary #41  :thumbsup.

Does anyone think we'll see Richo now pass on his #12 to Postie to wear from now on?

I would hope not

No. 12 should be retired for season 2010 IMHO
