New numbers for 2015?

[Miguel Sanchez]

Did a search to see if there was already a thread for this and discovered that (a) there wasn't, and (b) in the last two years, I started the same thread at around this time. So for the sake of tradition..

Available numbers at the moment are 14, 19, 20, 23, 28, 30, 45, 46 etc

Does anyone get an upgrade? What do we do with Cox and Glass' jumpers?

My guesses

14: pick 11
19: pick 32/Lucas as a DFA
20: Waterman (his colts number)
23: McGovern (has been worn by talls since 1987)
28: pick 51/pick 32
30: pick 69/pick 51
42: Adamson
45: Brophy
46: new rookie

Karpany upgrade to 28 and slot waterman in with 39

Does Karpany change from 39 so Alec can get his old mans number (if he even wants it)

This is what I reckon. Karps gets Lewis (provided he wants it - presumptuous to assume he would even care), and Alec gets Muddy.

19: pick 32/Lucas as a DFA

Nope. Lucas gets something in the 40s. You don't give sub-20s numbers to delisted discards.

 

[eagles rule]

Give Pickett ,No 30

 

[eagles rule]

No 14 - pick 11
No 19 - The Gov
20 -Karpany
23 -Hutchy
28 pick 32
30 -Adamson
34- pick 51
39 -Waterman
42 -Brophy
45 -Pick 69
46 -Rookie

30 should be kept in the attic until next year

Was going to suggest the same.

I'd love to see Lycett in 20!

Duggan would look good in #14 with Karps moving up to #28 and Waterman into #39.
Or if we get Pickett he can #28 and Waterman can get #20.
Also like the idea of McGovern moving up to #23 (y)

 

[flamingEMBERS]

wasnt there an instagram post of cox cleaning out his locker with the caption McGovern already shifting across

Waterman won't want 39

He's spent his youth trying to prove he is a footballer and not gifted spots because of his father.

He will want his own identity.

20 seems appropriate

 

[Masto]

If we get Pickett I would like to see him in Michael Jordans number 23. Has also been worn throughout the league by Andrew Mcleod and other playmakers. Don't know why we have always given it to talls.

Agree, think it's just added pressure, although if I was playing I'd love to wear a jumper my dad wore.

How can you look better in 1 number than another? The jumper looks identical

 

[Dark Sharks]

Petracca would look good in 14, and Brayshaw would look hot as fuark in 19..... amidoingitright?

Do this!

Also giving Alec 39 might be a little weird if Jake makes it onto our list as well.

Muddy wore 31 for a few seasons. Could have one son in each.

Though that'd require pushing Schofield out...

I too like this suggestion.

I think it's odd for a player to wear his fathers number anyway, so I agree with this premise. However Waterman wore 39 for WA so this might debunk that theory.

 

[Scotland]

I wouldn't be handing out 28 and 30 to a couple of late draft picks.

Chris ******* Lewis and Peter ******* Matera.

OK with Lycett and McGovern to 20 and 23 if they are used.

 

[Suma Magic]

Out of interest, could a player choose a number higher than 50?

I'd have thought there would have been a young hipster by now requesting 83 or something at some team.
