What Number Will Ben Cousins Wear?

i would like him to wear No.1 - i know it is for Newman to come back, but it would look great :)

Might be a good idea Torch, you would think Cousins will only be around 2-3 years and you would think Newman will be captain for at least the same period.

Maybe 1 would be the go if Newman was Ok with it.

yes! Newman would be captain untill he is 30, so three years, and Cousins will play around 50 matches for Richmond.

i don't think AFL clubs do this, but NBA teams have zero as a number players wear.

i reckon this would be good for cousins.  an extremely low number, and he wouldn't be taking no.1 which should be kept vacant while newy is captain.  zero also implies that cousins has started from fresh.

I agree with torch and others and would give Cuz the No. 1 guernsey. Even if Cuz succeeds in his comeback he'll have 3 years at the most left so Newy as captain will be wearing the #17 throughout that time and won't be needing back his old number.


1. Cousins
32. Nahas
33. Gourdis
38. Browne
43. Gilligan

Correct me if im wrong but i was under the impression that whatever number the captain had before taking the role was put under temporary retirement to make sure it was available if and when they gave up the captaincy. If that is the case, although 1 seems popular the club wont do it. What number did he waer at WCE, would our player with the same number be prepared to give it up for a while?
