'Go home' curse effectively broken.

Nek minnit goes home to GCS

Looks like the #20 gets a break for the year. Well deserved rest.

Crisp moved to 5 is a good sign the club has faith in him being a key player for us at some stage.

Rockliff mark 2.

I'd like to agree, but Retzlaff...

 

[PTizzle]

Perfect antidote to the #1 curse, give it to a bloke who really wanted to come here

Hope Crisp can live up to that number, like him a lot and I hope he finds his niche.

I'd like to agree, but Retzlaff...

Yeah, lets keep those knees strapped.

Nope. McGuane's definitely a 'go home' boy. Just ask Richmond.

Worked out a little better for Scott Harding when he went from #45 to #5.

good move to give the number 20 a rest for the year as a mark of respect to the great one.

it should only be reactivated with blacky's approval of a worthy successor ...

When I first looked at the article on the website about the past wearers of certain jumper numbers I could swear it said Who whore what?

Who whore what?

Ha! Well the jokes on you because I actually wake up yelling "Mum I wet the bed again!" so there!

You know I hate that disgusting word, Rip.

It's going to feature prominently in your epitaph, you know it.

I hope Tommy Rockliff never changes from his #38.

Somehow, it just seems right for him.

 

[Reardo]

I hope Tommy Rockliff never changes from his #38.

I'm with you, he has said he has no interest in changing numbers and wants to make #38 his own. I wonder if there has ever been a Brownlow Medalist who has worn #38??

Hey guys, probably not the right place for this but Kooga are having a sale on your guernseys and sweat slide jackets. Crazy prices.

PLAYERS are set to wear guernseys with their names written across the back during this year's home and away season. The innovation will reportedly involve a one-week trial at some point during the 2014 Toyota AFL Premiership season.

AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou told ABC Radio that he was keen to see players' names on jumpers. Demetriou said he believed such a move would help the game increase its following in New South Wales and Queensland. "I'm actually enthusiastic about it but I keep getting the arguments against it, which I don't buy," Demetriou said.

Former Greater Western Sydney coach Kevin Sheedy has led the charge for names to be added to the backs of jumpers. It is believed that the Giants and fellow expansion club Gold Coast are strong supporters of the concept.

I've long thought it was only a matter of time.

Shame.

Posted the same thing on the main board, but I reckon once the names go on the jumpers then over time the names will get bigger and the numbers will get smaller, and footy strips start to look more and more like other sports.

I like that AFL jumpers have their own distinctive look, and the number without the name is a part of that.

Oh well. It's hardly the most important thing we've lost.
