2010 Player Numbers

[Jukes]

Can't seem to find that thread from a month or so ago. Anyways, Sheppard will be wearing the number 12. He was presented with it and I'm pretty sure Woosh muttered "your number" or something like that when he was on stage.

Following what we've done the last few years, these will be the numbers:

Sheppard - 12
Weedon - 18
Stevens - 22

Apparently changes from existing players are:

Ebert - 5
Masten - 7
Shuey - 13
Dalziell - 14

 

[Ochre]

Stevens - 22

thats shuey

 

[Jukes]

thats shuey

Oops, left out the change...fixed!

 

[EagleMan87]

Weedon said he idolised Wirra so 44 is the obvious choice.

I just wonder if they'll give it to him straight away or make him earn it with a year in an obscure number.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

That suggests that there's no chance of J-Mac getting redrafted.

 

[Monocle]

That suggests that there's no chance of J-Mac getting redrafted.

TBH with having picked up Razzle Dazzle and Steven his chance are SFA.
Thats the reality .. kids pass you .. sad but true.

Gunnar will love this comment!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Weedon should be able to pick his number same as any other draftee.

If he asks for 44 and it's available he gets it. If he wants something else then fine.

 

[Quinz]

3 still retired?

 

[UpForGrabs]

3 still retired?

IIRC, one more year to go.

 

[The Don't Argue]

Where are you getting this info on the jumper number changes?

 

[SS_Fury]

i can see masten in 3 one day

 

[EagleMan87]

i can see masten in 3 one day

Yep, I think he'll have earnt it by the end of next year.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

i can see masten in 3 one day

Rich will be in 3 in 2011.

 

[saxymaxy]

3: Chris Masten to take over once un-retired.
5: Brad Sheppard
7: Ashley Smith
12: Adam Cockie
14: Brad Dalziell
28: Koby Stevens
39: -
44: Gerrick Weedon
48: Derek Wanganeen (got a good feeling we'll grab him in the rookie draft)

Just what i would want to see.

 

[happy_eagle]

Give Weedon 44

 

[Dagger5]

Well if Masten is taking 7 then I would give Swift 3 in 2011.

 

[larrikin]

Didn't this whole "Masten taking 7" thing come from 1 poster posting a rumour? I wouldn't take it as gospel yet. Not saying it won't happen, but it's far from confirmed.

Yep, he also said Shuey was taking No.13, which considering his luck...

 

[juddy_Like]

ANy news yet?

 

[Mattman93]

Didn't Masten say in interview that he liked 13 and wanted to keep it throughout his career?

 

[dajesmac]

Give Weedon 28?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Give Weedon 28?

Would rather avoid any comparisons with Sampi, to be honest.

Plus Flash Smith already has it.

 

[joeyavalanche]

is this all just off-season dreamin'?

 

[FrankenLynch]

Weedon has 44. Eagles just posted it on facebook.
