All fans know about our dreaded #36 jumper, so i ask, which player will next get this jumper? Surely Josh Kennedy will get 11 or 21 (thorpe should get number 19), which will see him become a star (the 36 is cursed!)
Dont believe it? Seen the Last 2 players to wear it? Boyle - Constantly injured, gets the number 20 and his injury is almost gone.
Bailey - Snaps his ankle! come on! this kid was going to be a star! everyone knew it, how many players have the guts to take a hanger in their first match over the AA full back?

What can you expect? Demetriou wore 36 for the Hawks. And that high priced reject from Essendon, Young (just forget his first name).

Barry Young.. The guy looked like a gun at the bombers back then, however put him in an ordinary team and he struggled, showed his true colours..
I reckon if Thurgood is still in the team next season, give him the number 36, that should keep him out of the side :p

Didn't Bailey got the No 1 when Spider left?? That was before the injury.

only just over a month until this year's draft - by then we need to be able to spell the names of the players we drafted last year.
thorp, for example. 5 letter word, phonetic, anglo - should be within reach. this is bigfooty's homework for the next 6 weeks.

Haha your a pisser
Soupofficial make a thread about this because you and a couple fans would love it as you are all tedious about the spelling of players names.

I'm quite fond of Soupofficial, i'm not quite sure if he remembers but he gave me quite a warm welcome into Big Footy on my first day back in Jan.
We got into a big dispute about god only remembers and i nearly got red carded!
Ahh memories;)

spelling 5 letter names correctly would not only be a good sign of respect and attentiveness to the club and players that you support, but it would also make you look literate and intelligent.
all 4 of these things are great qualities for a human to have. it'll also make it much easier for the rest of us to denigrate collingwood and richmond supporters as toothless illiterate idiots - it's only convincing when we don't embody the traits that we're criticising.

The number 36 at Hawthorn should now be locked away, and confined to the annals (or should that be anals? ;)) of history forever more, never again to darken our days with its presence.
Especially since that flog Demetriou wore it! :eek: :rolleyes:
