Apart from Jack Dyers era,it stands for mediocrity since its conception.

Time to build a new culture.

Time has come to establish a new benchmark.

Let Chimp b Chimp,with Chimps number.

He's the best we have had in decades.

I heard in a meeting that Relton Roberts wanted to wear 88, the concept was rejected and consequently he let himself go :shh

No point in honoring a stuffing number.

Old school mentality.

It was during the times of old school that we were last successful.

I'm with you on that one. Prefer Cotchin wears number 9. The number's irrelevant, it's the acts that are important.

Spot on

Ditch the number

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?

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

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

BTW Maurice wasn't captain either.
