Who played with which number, for how long, how many games they played for the club is important to the fabric and the history of the club it all contributes to the character and the characters of the club.

Without this we are just another AFL club. We should be see ourselves as more than just another AFL club.

We exist to document the number of games players play wearing particular numbers.
It's what separates us from all the other clubs that do the exact same thing.
 
Jumper numbers, outside of the No.1 - are generally meaningless.

You may have an association of a player with a number, or an affinity of a particular number and follow players that wear it, but the only metric of jumper numbers we should ever track with pride is premiership's won in said number.
 
I guess who wear’s what jumper for how long becomes more of a talking point when you haven’t had any serious success for over 20 years.
These sort of trivial things come more to the forefront when a team has endured long term failure.
 
Usually I’d agree but I doubt many people would have had an issue with him being a development coach/mentor for young players to help fast track them into understanding what is required to be an AFL player.
Personally I think career-wise it’s better for him to go and experience things at other clubs anyway, just for his own benefit. But if you think that there wouldn’t be quite a few on this board that would have a problem with him staying at Port, I'm not sure you've spent enough time around here. 😉

I’ve read the board for ages, but made an account recently. Good point, some of the things I’ve read on here make me wonder how some people get their shoes on the right feet each morning.
