Opinion 2018 Player Numbers

[djw1952]

That's possible but maybe not such a good thing to do.

In fact it would be a very silly thing to do to hold out a number for a player you haven't even got.
What does it say to others?

Has anyone actually heard a whisper as to when the club will post the numbers and piccies of the new guys on the Carlton site...........?

No but last year the jumper numbers were announced on the 2nd December.

Hopefully any day now.

 

[Aphrodite]

Apparently they will be announced next week.

They've updated the website to put most of the senior players up, but have assigned them random numbers. I wonder if they are approximate to what they will be given?

Kennedy and Mullett are 0 - could they be two of 2, 4, or 7?
Darcy Lang at 11 - maybe a 12?
Lobbe at 23 - perhaps 24?

Garlett and rookies not up yet.

They need to update the app. Not sure why it takes so long to change and also get the numbers assigned, at least after the draft.

I doubt it's a problem with the app. I reckon it's of a piece of the club's ridiculous secrecy over the summer months.

The app is behind the website. Still had Gibbs on it when I looked yesterday.

Lang and Lobbe are just their numbers from their previous clubs.

Shaw looks like he's taken 37 based off his instagram, FWIW.

It's about controlling the message to get maximum media exposure. Clubs release player's new numbers on different day because they know supporters are curious, so it keeps momentum going.

Marketing is very important for maintaining supporter and sponsor enthusiasm, and announcement timing is a key component, especially over the summer months, when there's not a lot of news.

 

[Aphrodite]

All numbers between 1 - 10 will all be used (apart from the ones already taken - 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 & 10).

Kennedy will get 7.


Source ....... cannot reveal.

Dow 2 and O'Brien 4 seems likely then.

You're probably right. However it doesn't maintain my interest, it just irritates me. Interesting that other well-run clubs don't seem to think it necessary to delay this information.

Dow-2-OB4. Sounds like some Star Wars character.

 

[Jabba73]

2- Darcy Lang - Lang Lang is a town where they tested Holdens. Spiritual cleanse for the Geelong Ford stink
4 - Aaron Mullett - in honour of Sticks (Props to ianh)
7 - Angus Schumacher - f1 titles won by Michael
21 - Lochie O'Brien - unbelievably fit guy, can run all day, sublime kick, mid-length hair; you know it makes sense
24 - Cillian McDaid - reverse Tuohy
43 - Cam O'Shea - it's like Simon white never left
44 - Paddy Dow - he's got Harry Madden's chin
52 - Matt Shaw - im hoping he's twice as good as he showed at GC in #26
59 - Tom De Koning - knightmare's phantom rank
63 - Matthew Kennedy - JFK, Dallas, 1963
78 - Jarrod Garlett - pick 78, a SOS master-stroke
95 - Matthew Lobbe - a reminder of immaterial draft cost

NANE, ffs

Normally definitive with my mail but not so today, SO, take this one with a grain of salt

But, heard a whisper that the big TDK may be given the prized #2

This is not one to take to the bank. But I think it’s right

 

[BIGGUS 64]

C.Curnow in 43...please!!!

Doesn't he just look every inch Kouta reincarnated here?

Wow. Would be very surprised if this was the case but appreciate the mail all the same ep.

Wow Jones style...

Just got a response from the club. Player numbers will be released Wednesday night.

 

[Bag of Nuts]

Schumacher is 19 according to Charlies instagram

 

[HBF]

Just got a response from the club. Player numbers will be released Wednesday night.

The countdown is on...

 

[CJMB]

Based on the vacant numbers and Kennedy at 7, Schumacher at 19 and Shaw at 37 it might end up something like this

2. Dow
4. O'Brien
7. Kennedy
12. De Koning
16. Lang
18. Garlett
19. Schumacher
21. O'Shea
24. Mullett
27. Lobbe
37. Shaw
43.
45. McDaid

Pack all the kids (and young trade-ins first rounders) into the top 20. Less sure about the rest but basically the mature guys/depth players fill in remaining spots plus McDaid slots in at the back before Wright.
