Prediction 2018 Essendon Numbers Thread

[eDPS]

Cal mentions that 2 new Essendon recruits look set to take 4 and 5. Think it makes sense for Smith and Stringer

Seed sewing?

Hope not.

 

[Zach Package]

Hope not.

It's a weird one because they've posted links to the one article 3 or 4 times and that's the first time the title has been anything other than some variation on 'there are a few famous numbers available'.

Someone's very bored either way

 

[MarkG]

#4 Begley
#5 Raz
#13 Walla (Should always be given to an indigenous player imo)
#16 Stringer
#20 Langford
#25 Smith
#30 Saad

Would be great if Jake Long gets 13.

 

[Howard Moon]

not every son of a gun wants their dads number...

Jobe didn't have 32

some like to forge their own paths - if I were Mason I wouldn't resist the 31 pressure will be big enough without everyone saying oh he is a carbon of his old man in that jumper...

nobody could be a carbon of dustin! 400 games, what he could do, one of a kind.

1. Saad
5. McGrath

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Nobody has suggested that No. 31 goes to Mason.

 

[Howard Moon]

"I'm pretty sure 31 is being held for a certain draftee"

 

[Maddogm]

If they hold it he gets the choice

 

[Yoda_]

Langford has been given the no.4 by Jobe

Ken wore 21, Dustin 31, maybe 41 for Mason?

You want to give the Western Australian mature aged inside mid 39 and the Eastern Rangers kid 40?

Fair point, tbh I don't mind either way. If you feel passionate about it i'll happily jump on board switching them.

So we have 1-45 all filled except for 31, and Dea in 49.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Sounds about right.

 

[citizen-erased]

Liking Langford in the #4 and Smith in #5.
Happy Saad got his 42 as well. nice touch.

 

[Vindicater]

Langford must be big in their plans moving forward.

Love the confidence of giving him number 4
