Prediction 2017 Guernsey Numbers

[Skipper_]

Bit of talk about who'll get what number and stuff like that in some of the player threads so I decided to start a whole thread dedicated to the topic. We have numbers 1, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 31, 37, 38, 41 and 42 available and possibly 35 if Eades doesn't get re-rookied.

Reckon we could see Laverde get an upgrade to 1.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Hartley should get #1 for all the 1 percenters he gets.

 

[JayJ20]

McCluggage to be 1 as he is our first number 1 draft pick ever. No pressure

 

[Skipper_]

I'd go the following -
1 - Pick 1
14 - Pick 20
15 - Pick 29
16 - Stewart
17 - Dea
19 - Kelly
37 - PSD/DFA
38 - Pick 41
41 - Pick 68/RD Pick 1
42 - RD Pick 1/RD Pick 19
46 - RD Pick 19/RD Pick 37

 

[Doss]

I reckon Langford and Laverde will both get lower numbers.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

If I was the No 1 draft pick I don't think i'd want the No 1 guernsey

 

[harro92]

I'd go the following -
1 - Pick 1
14 - Pick 20
15 - Pick 29
16 - Stewart
17 - Dea
19 - Kelly
37 - PSD/DFA
38 - Pick 41
41 - Pick 68/RD Pick 1
42 - RD Pick 1/RD Pick 19
46 - RD Pick 19/RD Pick 37

Surely Walla gets a number upgrade

He wants to keep 43 and get to 100 games in it so he can get his name on the locker door.

 

[Rack Watts]

1 - McX
14 - Langford
15 - Laverde
16 - Hartley
17 - Tippa

 

[reincarnated]

Stewart is wearing 37 during practice.

 

[Pweter]

I like it when players keep their original jumpers even if they turn out to be jets. Guys like Platten and Enright readily spring to mind carrying numbers in the 40s.

This is going to be the new ''Trade Dempsey''.

 

[daffo]

Laverde to number one would be a great idea. I love no1 to be a tough-no complaints player.

 

[eth-dog]

I like 14 for an inside mid, similar to JJ. Not sure who though.

Hartley to 31 please.

 

[Lore]

Most probably.

 

[hollywood23]

Like the idea of McClug in the 14...real Selwood vibe to it

I posted this elsewhere before I realised this thread existed:

I agree with respect to the #1 guernsey. All it does it actualises the stigma that will already seem to exist. Youngster doesn't need that.

I am, however, over the tradition of allocating guernsey numbers. It's rubbish. They should be drawn out of a hat; incentivise the players to play well enough that the number becomes synonymous with their name because of how well they play, not the other way around. Play like a champ. Own the number you've drawn. Imagine; a club champion who sported #31.

1 - Andy McGrath
14 - Josh Begley
15 - Kobe Mutch
16 - James Stewart
17 - Matt Dea
19 - Dylan Clarke
31 - Michael Hartley
36 - Jordan Ridley
38 - Josh Green

Let McGrath cuts his teeth with a higher number then throw him into the number 5 down the track.

 

[yodellinhank]

They've already given #1 to Ralph

 

[scanlon]

Give McGrath 15, suits him

 

[Runk]

They've already given #1 to Ralph

I saw that. Did rage internally.
