Do we take that to mean Blicavs is going to keep #46 and not change now he is a fully fledged senior player & no longer a rookie?

Todays announcements were merely for the new players. All other number changes will be done sometime after the November draft.

Geelong Cats ✔ @GeelongCats
No changes for existing players. 1st pick in draft to get No 5, 2nd pick no 28, 3rd pick no 15 and 4th no 31. New rookies in 38 & 45.

Odd that pick 2 gets #28 and pick 3 gets #15
Should be the other way surely

They use a method whereby the top draft pick gets the number of the previous player with the most games. Therefore:

1st: 5 (Varcoe 138 games)
2nd: 28 (Christensen 65 games)
3rd: 15 (Schroder 5 games)
4th: 31 (Burbury 7 games)

Ok I don't understand 15 and 31!

beat me to it - my thinking with 15 & 31 is that Burbury only played 5 games in the #31, 2 games came in his rookie number which I can't remember what it was. Maybe they decided to go numerical order with both players having played the same number of games in their senior number.
