#5 up for grabs.

[MaxHunt]

With Ebert leaving number 5 is up for grabs. One would think an obvious upgrade would go to Darling but #27 speaks for itself. Smith maybe? Schofield seems to have made 31 his. Hill perhaps? Shuey?

 

[wcesam]

Hill doesn't deserve it, and Shuey is determined to set some records in number 13. I can't think of anyone else.. first draft pick maybe?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Smith 5
Hill 19
First pick 28
Stevenson 33
Second pick 36

Auction it over the preseason. The young bloke to have the most promising preseason gets the number 5.

I don't know if Masten will want number 5.

 

[Prem87]

Lycett?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Never understood the fascination with the lower numbers to be honest

 

[sTeeL]

I bet Darling keeps his #27 and Shuey the same with his #13.

Will go to our first draft pick you would imagine.

 

[the harry]

Can't really upgrade too much from 27 at the Eagles, there's a couple around the same mark (3, 17, 4).

There are no names on locker #13 so Shuey wants to play 100 in it and get his name there. Could you love the guy any more? I think not.

 

[Scotland]

Save it for Coniglio.

Save it for Coniglio.

pffft. jordie matera is only a couple of years away. save it for the young bloke!

 

[dajesmac]

I think we should wait for someone suitable.

 

[jdisc]

Luke Blackwell

 

[Stereophonic]

Patrick McGinnity, Stevenson, Lycett or Weedon would be the obvious but it looks likely to go to first round pick.

It seems like a number inherently associated with spuds who give their all, Morrison, Ebert or is it just me?

Fevola.

Well it won't be Weedon due to the fuss they made about giving him Wirra's #44 when they drafted him.

 

[Eagle Ant]

What if he wants his dads old number (30).....Im sure B.Wilson would give it up for a higher number.
He may want to get his Name under his dads on the same locker.

I don't think Dwayne Lamb was a spud...

 

[Keys]

I don't think Dwayne Lamb was a spud...

Nor was Tyson Stenglein

Truth is though we haven't had any out and out champions wear the No5.

Lamb would be the best to have worn it.

 

[MaxHunt]

Yeah have to agree. Some good players, really good but not in the great league. It seems that No.5 has been worn by solid workhorses.

 

[paran]

I'd see if Kennedy was keen.

 

[Le Class]

Hang onto it for a year or two. Wait for someone to really come out and earn it.

 

[Sw3Et]

McGinnity would be good

 

[Reminiscence]

I don't want Darling to give up #27.
It's reminiscent of the good ol' days of Jako, one of my favourite players of all time, and Darling is one of mine now in his own right.

 

[tbetta]

It's an Eagles tradition that the lowest number available goes to the first drafted in that year. Gaff got 3, Sheppard got 12, Naitanui got 9, Masten got 7 and Mitch Brown got 1.

Without a doubt it will be going to Pick #23.
