As we're nearing the end of the H/A season, the coaches will have a look at the list to see who'll make the cut, who'll be delisted and who'll retire.
That also means giving up the numbers they wore.

So far, Yestin Eades is the only one confirmed out so that makes No. 35 vacant.

For all mods of this board, I have a strong message for you guys to mandate.
This is not and should never be a contract speculation thread nor should it be a witch-hunt thread.
They can, however, speculate on who'll wear which number for 2018 and who they think should wear an appropriate number and draftees' first numbers.

Also, can a mod please colour code each name by which year they'll come out of contract?

Cheers.

P.s. this thread is now live.

Contract statuses are colour-coded in the OP of the contract status thread, pinned to the top of the board.

As for the rest, it's a bit early to speculate. Still 4 H&A games to go, plus the finals series if we make it.

I see him as the second coming of his idol so it's only natural that Laverde gets # 5.

I'd like to see Langford in 4.

Stupid as it is I like giving numbers to similar players/past greats.
