Is it time to give 35 to Nick Daicos for his career!

[FreddoFrog65]

We once gave the famous number 42 to our 1st selected draftee in honour of Darren Millane and then we moved this to the number 35 in honour of Simon Prestigiacomo

’s selflessness in withdrawing from the 2010 Grand Final side due to injury but is it time to give this number to Nick Daicos for his career and no longer have this “one year” concept.

I think that it’s time.

I think everyone gets caught up in the number from the past. Let the player decide.

I've never seen 42 given to anyone POST Pants?

Yep never was it was retired until the Milane family okays it to be used again

And on the 35 if Nick wants to keep it so he should

 

[jimmy35]

Yes to a player keeping 35 but doubt Nick wants to be that player.

 

[Pistol Night]

Might be an unpopular opinion but id prefer to see him make a name for himself in his own number

 

[Lockyer24]

I’d like 35 to just go back into normal circulation, not to Nick himself.

Ironically we retired it because of Presti not because of Daicos. Each wrote their own story in the number and we love them both for it.

 

[DERKADERRR]

Mods, could we get a poll on this?
I think if he wants it he should have it, I'm not a big fan of this 35 rotation policy anyway but this feels like the right time to stop.

 

[JoinDate]

I mean, if he wants it why not?

 

[Copeland]

No. He'll make is own number

 

[Pie eyed]

If he can win the Rising Star and the Norm Smith in the same year he can have it for life.

is doing just fine in his dad's number ( also Tarni in Gavin's number). If Nick decides to keep 35, we'll start to recognize Nick's own journey in that number.

Alternatively, if he doesn't want his dad's number that is completely fine - in fact even better because he's under enough pressure as is.

This is something within his own control, it's a way for him to step out of the shadow of Peter.

Of course
If he doesn't, that's fine. But he can certainly still make a name for himself with it, or without it.

We'll find out eventually.

I think we have to let him determine what he wants himself. I wouldn’t go breaking protocol for any player let alone a high end pick.

You don’t want them thinking they are any different to the others, you don’t want to heap expectations on them either. The best thing we can do as supporters in season is not be negative and not pump up players like Nick. The weight of expectation could crush him. Let him make his own way

[Mukesh]

Every year.... and I've still to hear a compelling reason to change... more important things to focus on guys... Nick will get a year in 35 and then have to make another number his own... well until he moves on and someone else wears it. Just not 1, cos its last two recipients were a bust...

 

[The Phantom]

The answer is YES.
it’s his.
/thread

seriously, it’d be awesome to see that continuity and have the 35 strike fear into opposition supporters again, leaving them in awe.
Carlton did this with no 1 and SOS and I think it gave something to the fans.

We gave Josh the choice to take 35 despite the rotation tribute, so I can’t see why Nick would be any different. Letting the player make the decision is the correct call.

 

[Vicky Park]

Probably unpopular, but I don’t share the angst over numbers, and couldn’t care less who has what number.

Nick Daicos also hasn’t done anything yet. The kid should not be treated any differently to our other draftees this year. The hype around him is ridiculous. We could be creating a monster.

Give him a number, whatever is available, and can we please drop these silly traditions over numbers? That includes Millane’s 42. They are just numbers on a jumper FFS.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

The tradition should stop and it should go back into normal circulation.

If Nick wants it, then all the better.

The Number 42 was issued to Billy Morrison when he was our 1st Draft Selection in 2004 (at Pick 10) and the plan was to issue it to our 1st Draft Pick each year after that, like we currently do with No. 35.

This was not in line with what the Millane Family wanted for Darren’s number so it was decided it would instead be retired all together.
