Swan lives on too.

Great Carlton No. is 43. One of my best short pants memories is Swan sealing the 81 GF with a customary bomb.
bill jacobs call went something like "how about that?" or "how do like that?" as it sailed through - 81 is a bit of a forgotten grand final....

Ben looks pissed with number 37. He is thinking where the **** is 2 or 3 ha ha
He has Harmesy old number. Bugg has Jammo's, Stocker has Phil Maylin's.
Sartori was last half decent number 18 we had. Go Walsh and make it your own.

Despite getting many wrong, I still strangely feel proud of myself for what I got right. :D

I enjoyed the way Maylin went about it, not in my best players for that era, but was one of my favourites
 
Credit where it's due. The club usually makes us wait unnecessarily before revealing numbers. :thumbsu:

Interesting how they do it, who they assign as 'locker-buddies'. So MM (11) is between 2 young tall marking players (Harry 10, TDK 12). I guess they're hoping for friendship and unofficial mentoring. Fasolo (32) is next to Pickett (33). Perhaps they're hoping they'll become small forward buddies. And that Fasolo will teach Pickett some smarts. Newman's (24) been placed among the defensive cluster (Schumacher 19, Plowman 20, Marchbank, 22, Weitering 23, MacReadie 26). I wonder if that means they originally thought Garlett (21) might play back also? And Ben (37) and Finbar (38) together makes sense, being buddies already. I wonder if Ben was deliberately put next to Kerr (36) as another son of Carlton royalty? Or maybe they want him to learn from Kerr's workrate?
