[bulldogs201616]

As it stands the current numbers that are available are.

#2
#15
#19
#25
#28
#39

Joel Freijah hopefully gets the number 2 it's perfect for him.

 

[Mojorisin]

Number 15 makes sense for Budarick.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Joel Freijah hopefully gets the number 2 it's perfect for him.

Number 15 makes sense for Budarick.

Agree with both of these.

Unless we get Dovaston, wouldn’t mind him in the #2 next to Weightman.

 

[Spiritof82]

We need some one to fill #46, its been a while since Jong was in it

 

[grassman75]

It’s in retirement for a year to wash the JUH stink off it….got Butters all over it

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Will Darcy #28 feels right

28 ÷ 2 = 14 (His Dad’s number)

28 x 2 = 56 (His number at Oakleigh)

 

[Mojorisin]

Will Darcy #28 feels right

28 ÷ 2 = 14 (His Dad’s number)

28 x 2 = 56 (His number at Oakleigh)

Or David's #15

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Or David's #15

Good call, had 15 pencilled in for Budarick but I like that

 

[JohnnySteel]

Or David's #15

That’s got a feel good vibe to it.

 

[Mojorisin]

That’s got a feel good vibe to it.

Some prefer to forge their own path though so wouldn't begrudge him if he elected to wear a jumper with no family ties. He already has one of the biggest ties to the club in our history.

 

[Northern Dogs]

Or David's #15

Or could be #2 as in Darcy brother No. 2.

 

[grassman75]

Or could be #2 as in Darcy brother No. 2.

Stop taking Butters number for others

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Stop taking Butters number for others

Unless Sanders goes the other way in the deal and Butters takes his #9

 

[Northernsoul74]

Stop taking Butters number for others

Treloar 1 will likely be available next year.

28 ÷ 2 = 14 (His Dad’s number)

28 x 2 = 56 (His number at Oakleigh)

I wouldn't mind bumping up Lach Smith and giving Will Darcy 40.

No family links, just like the idea of WD40.

There’s his nickname

Considering it doesn’t look like there’s any changes with the current players. Likely we’ll just go down the list with the draftees?

#2 - Lachie Carmichael
#15 - Louis Emmett
#19 - Will Darcy
#25 - Connor Budarick

I reckon Darcy in 15 sounds good

Can’t take much on the numbers players wear in training, routinely wear random ones.

 

[my plums]

Hopefully nobody changes numbers. Doesn't sit right with me!

 

[Dougs Wing]

Can’t take much on the numbers players wear in training, routinely wear random ones.

Too true but clearly they don't routinely wear different numbers. The new players were wearing numbers yesterday but nothing has been confirmed by the club yet.

Actually Luke Darcy played one game in 40 in his first year.

It’s fate!

 

[Mr. Walker]

Didn’t David Darcy wear 15 for us? I get that some players prefer to “ forge their own path” but if WD asks for 15 I would see it as a nice nod to history.

 

[weltschmerz]

Carmichael's getting around training in the #2 and Emmett in the #25.
