I wonder if former triple premiership-winning number 19 Jack Gunston got any say in the allocation of that number?
He should have presented it to the new recipient.
 
Wiz 34 is underwhelming. He'll sell a ton of jumpers. Unless this is Breusts last year, and he walks into #22 in 2025.
Yeah it’s crap. I wanted to slot his number onto my kids jumpers but will wait. Numbers 1, 8 and 20 could plausibly be available in a year or two

In years gone by the draftees have been able to select their numbers in order of draft position based on what’s left after all other players have been allocated jumper numbers.

I’d say Watson picking 34 has more to do with being locker buddies with Ginnivan in 33 than anything else. These two are going to be rats next year
 
Great player. But that was a long time ago, and there's been nothing in that number since the 80s/ 90s.

Renouf has his name forever etched in that locker.
 
People overthink the number situation.

The legacy of a number has to start somewhere right?

The Wiz may stay in 34 his entire career and carve out a brand new legacy.
Collingwood's most famous number and their best player is in 35.

People over rate jumper numbers.

I'd love for someone to roll around in a 99 or 60 or something.
