[nickrebellious]

I reckon Grimley should wear the 36 next year.

 

[Gunstall555]

36 - Jermaine Miller-Lewis

Poor kid has had enough injuries don't you think?

 

[Flukey!]

I reckon Grimley should wear the 36 next year.

Did Grimmers sleep with your Mrs or something?
He doesn't deserve that.

 

[Argy]

I'd like to see Jed with a lower number, maybe 12.

Good to see Tuck making a comeback to top-up his 426 games. He could be handy resting in the forward pocket. Haven't spotted him at pre-season training yet, probably too busy.

Ahaha few mistakes here, I was thinking about tucky when I wrote that!

 

[Hawthorn23]

True, but I just think he will end up getting the number. Hawthorn doesn't really care about the curse, so I don't think they will be thinking about that when they hand jumpers out

 

[arupist]

Miller-Lewis will take a rookie number in the 40s
36, unfortunately, will go to Pittonet, Miles, Sicily or Willsmore.

No worries, quick related trivia question; which Hawks number or numbers (1 to 47) have not won a premiership?

 

[MrFujiMoto]

36 - Jermaine Miller-Lewis

Oh Hell NO. Look, I don't know what this kid has done to you but nobody should be made to wear that horrid number. He has already missed that last year or so with injury. You want him to wound up dead somewhere?

 

[MrFujiMoto]

I don't know for a fact but I am sure 36 would be on there.

 

[Dewnior]

I'm pretty sure the guys drafted in 2013 and prior get first dibs on the lower numbers (with the exception of those traded into the club in 2014). The newbies get what's left, which will likely be 36 and above.

 

[arupist]

I don't know for a fact but I am sure 36 would be on there.

Correct - no premierships, no B&Fs, no life memberships.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Correct - no premierships, no B&Fs, no life memberships.

Those that wear the number 36 do get the Realhawk "most injured / most incompetent medical staff award" though, so there is that.

Yep, actually the Hawks jumper numbers without a Premiership to date are; 36, 37, 38, 41 & 47. At the other end of the scale, as most would know, number 23 tops the list with 11 Premierships - followed by numbers 2, 3, 9 & 14 with 10 Premierships.

 

[WWSD]

I want Anderson to keep 37 for next year so when Burgoyne retires Anderson gets number 9.

 

[Move P]

I think they should announce the numbers as soon as the player comes to the club. Adds a bit more fan-fare when the player is presented with the jumper for the first time.

 

[WWSD]

12: Billy Hartung
13: James Frawley
21: Zac Webster
30: Dallas Willsmore
34: Daniel Howe
36: Retired
38: Jonathan O'Rourke
40: Marc Pittonet
43: James Hardisty
44: Jermaine Miller-Lewis
45: Teia Miles
48: Lachie Langford

Dermie started with 47 did he not?

 

[deanc]

Dermie started with 47 did he not?

Yep, Dermie started with #47 but must of changed to #23 for the 1983 season as he was wearing #23 for that year's Premiership, and later for his other 4 flags.
Others; Leigh Matthews (#3) played in his year and first Premiership in jumper #32 (1971), likewise Chris Mew (#2) who wore #46 in the 1983 GF and later Andy Collins (#4) who wore #40 in his first Premiership in 1988.
Also Chris Langford wore #28 in his first Premiership team in 1986 and then changed to his well known #24.
A final note, the earlier info is not correct as players wearing jumper #2 have also experienced 11 Premierships ala #23.

 

[VandoHawk]

Thinking Litherland could get the number 12. Looked to be like a leader in the making at training, and after winning the best first year player it would be natural progression to upgrade his number.

If that's the case, I could see Hartung being number 31 with O'Rourke being number 12. Anderson I'd leave for another year until Burgoyne retires (most likely this or next year). Frawley at 13 sounds fine.

Don't really mind about the rookies, but for God's sake don't give Miller-Lewis 36. Kids have enough trouble with injury, don't need to add an ACL injury to that list. Give him Plattens 44.

 

[hfc70]

I heard Zac Webster asked for 69 , the club said they were going to 'look' at it but have decided against it.

 

[LindaCresLove]

I reckon Grimley should wear the 36 next year.

That's funny.

 

[Agent Smith]

I reckon Grimley should wear the 36 next year.

That may just work. Death don't go looking for the Grim Reaper.
