2008 player numbers

[Chasing the Dream]

Just noticed on the Lions site that many of our players did not have a number next to them. Seems that they have reverted to an old page from just after the 2006 draft.

http://www.lions.com.au/TheClub/Players/Senior/tabid/5186/Default.aspx

Anyway, made me think of which players may be in line for a number change.

Avaliable numbers from what I can work out are 2, 3, 4, 14, 22, 41 and of course 42.

Maybe Begley might get a lift up the order from 46 (but it does kind of suit him..), Travis Johnstone will need to slot in there somewhere, maybe 14 seeing as though thats what we gave for him.

Also with Vossy's number, will they retire it for a year, or has it technically been retired for a year and who could eventually get it? Johnson's number should surely fit into the reirement for a year category.

Anyway, just thought it could be something to ponder during this time of no footy

 

[Warwick]

Johnstone 4 or 14.

Keep the #3 vacant unless Adcock wants to change.

 

[Raav]

Jed will make seven famous.
Rischitelli can have 3

 

[morphous]

Johnstone gets his grandfathers old no, was part of the deal.

 

[Warwick]

Rischitelli can have 3

No offence to Rischitelli, but no.

 

[lionbear]

And the number he had was?

 

[Hollow Knight]

His grandfather wore 16 and 17.

Good luck getting 16 off Brown, as for 17... it may be available soon.

#3 needs to be given to someone who not only has proven himself to be a longtime player for the club but also someone who plays with a similar attitude to the great man. I would think if we retire the number for a year or 2 Proud could be that man!

Johnstone will get 17 if Brennan goes definitely IMO

 

[Hollow Knight]

Our first round draft pick or Rischitelli will get the 3.

Bank on it.

I say we give Johnstone #17 even if Brennan stays. Brennan can have whatever numbers are left over when everyone else is finished.

If he does go to another club in the PSD, instead of a number, he could Prince it up and have $.

The player formerly known as #17.

Are these the only numbers that are currently available?

2
3
4
14
22
31
42

You could probably throw in 10 (Moody) as well.

You could probably throw in 4 (Fixter) and 10 (Moody) as well.

Fixter has definitely been de-listed, so 4 is definitely available.

 

[dlanod]

Our first round draft pick or Rischitelli will get the 3.

Bank on it.

I suspect we'll avoid giving a first year player 3 just because of the extra pressure that could be implying... the next Voss if you will.

The first round draftee gets to choose from any available number, so I've been told.

Edited.

It will take a new draftee with some coconuts to say to Lethal "give me 3".

The Lions are gonna draft a woman????

 

[Flea_29]

How about this:-

2 HOOPER (CJ's protege)
3 Stays retired for one more year. Then pass it on to Rischa.
4 JOHNSTONE(if Brennan stays)
14 PROUD
17 JOHNSTONE(if Brennan leaves)
22 BEGLEY (or given to our first draft pick). Begley might make 46 his own.
31 & 42 - Draft picks

I agree, that Adcock should keep No.7 and make it his own.

 

[Warwick]

Hooper's got White's 33.

 

[bloods01]

No offence to Rischitelli, but no.

Totally agree...

 

[EurekaKid]

What about Stiller?

 

[Sherminator.]

Proud should get number 3 after next season.

 

[lion_gooner]

they should retire number 2 for next season
