I hope that Roo eyeballed him and said "you want 32? I'm going to ride you every day so you get the very best out of yourself. If you cut one corner, miss one rehab session or fail to do extra sessions that could make you one of the best, I will hunt you down and tear it of your back personally".
Then shook his hand and said good luck.
They haven't gotten around to putting P. Dangerfield Club Champion yet apparently. I suppose there's no rush.

I do like the idea of Menzel in the 32, but is it just the way the club has done a bit of a eff you to Danger?
Wonder if Menzel asked for the number or the club slightly pressured him into it just to make a statement?

Just trying to find a way to take it off him and give it to someone else more deserving...
Glad the 32 has gone to a player who potentially could have his own decent highlight reel.

What is the protocol? Wait till the player retires?
Club facebook account said they just hadn't gotten around to it yet. There was some slight suggestion I think that it was put up and then taken down, which would've been odd given we knew he was leaving going into the B&F.

So after his wonderful career for us, he'll have as many spots on the lockers as Andrew Eccles.

This is a really good point. A really good one. The bloke achieved absolutely bugger all with us.

The number 3 was offered to Knight first by Radar. BoB didn't have a choice.

Still, I dont think he would care. Its a romantic notion amongst some supporters. Maybe he wanted a lower number like 3. Maybe he likes 44. Who knows.
Fair bet he doesnt care about having the same numbers as the other set of brothers who played at the club though.

Given that numbers in the 40s are usually given to rookies, I think M Crouch taking that number to start with indicates he wants to keep it

IMO Menzel has star power .....but he looks like the praise went to his head as his workrate at Carlton was ridiculously poor
Really want Menzel to have to work hard on his fitness and game & not coast ......if he does we have a genuine star
Not sure if giving him #32 is not replicating how Carlton treated Menzel ? ......not a big issue though, just a thought

44 and 45 seem to be more accepted than the other 40s for some reason.

Highly unusual to give a catB #20 .....is that an indication the club is confident it has a genuine talent with a genuine chance of making it?
You keep flogging that work rate horse
As I said before just like Stevie J and Robbie Gray, Menzel will lift his standards
