2015 player numbers

[Ralph Lorenz]

I'd hope they sort out numbers asap - I enjoy new numbers day plus plenty of people looking to buy guernseys for xmas would want to be assured their number stays with the player they want.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I'm predicting we have a very nice new recruit at 4, a Hitchcockian 2, an exciting second year 15 and maybe a Germanic 43?

Austin in 3:16 obvs

 

[Schulzenfest]

What I would do:

• Neade to #2 and Hombsch to #3. Both are in the sweet spot where they'd done enough that they wouldn't look out of place in high numbers but haven't been around long enough to make their numbers their own, like Westhoff and Jonas have with #39 and #42. Plus their numbers have some small significance for two of our recruits.
• Ryder to wear the same number that the last Indigenous star who we brought in from Essendon wore, #4.
• We've heard that Mitchell is changing number, so #15 makes sense.
• I don't know why, but something about Dougal Howard in #25 makes sense to me, the same way tribey said something about Harvey in #3 makes sense to him.
• Nathan Krakouer to #32. He's been acting as somewhat of a mentor to Neade, so it makes sense for him to take his old number.
• Billy Frampton to #36, as it was his junior number.
• Palmer to #37, Austin to #38.
• I also like the idea of Wagner in #50 for reasons I can't really explain. But if we don't want to skip numbers, #48.
• #35 stays empty for another year.

Good I hope you're wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if you're right.

Mitchell is a perfect 37.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Hombsch = 3

Yes please

 

[RossFC]

Every time this thread is bumped I keep thinking there has been an announcement.

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

Last year we knew by roughly Nov 29th.
Seems they did the rookies separately too.

Carrrrrrrn.

[Sneeky]

inb4 number 4

 

[tangolikelama]

Hombsch suits #36 just like Jonas suits #42

 

[Smartys Power]

Yeah I know. Didn't word it very well. Was just stating that he is a perfect number 37 and he SHOULDN'T change.

Bloody terrific.

 

[Janus]

The last time an indigenous Australian that we recruited from Essendon wore the number 4, we won the flag. And Gav had his premiership guernsey returned to him this year...

How good does it look on him?

[Ralph Lorenz]

IT BEGINS!!!

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I guess that means they'll announce the rest soon.

 

[Kickpuncher]

I reckon Hombsch would look good in 2.

Impey in 3 also looks right.

 

[Del80659]

I guess that means they'll announce the rest soon.

I was hoping they'd do one a day..

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I think the majority on here will be disappointed in our new 2, going on the suggestions for a new 2 in this thread haha.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Really? Mitchell number 2! God why

Neade 3
Amon 15

 

[Sneeky]

Really? Mitchell number 2! God why

Hitchy was the last no. 2, so just continuing the whipping boy line

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I like #32 on a big man.

Does Reddo want it? Why did you switch out of it Butch
