Draftees Guernsey Numbers

[Exhale You]

Seems a little early, but the GFC site has guernsey numbers up for the draftees

They might not be accurate, but this is what they've got:

1 - Mitch Brown
25 - Tom Gillies (vacated by Adam Donohue, who has moved to his father's number 23)
32 - Steven Motlop
38 - Taylor Hunt (making him the second Hunt to wear the number recently)
42 - Ranga Ediriwickrama

I'd rather give 32 to Ranga, but I suppose the fact he's a rookie gives Motlop precedence.

That would make him the 2nd Mitch Brown to be wearing No1 in AFL with WCE's version. Seems an accurate list based on the free numbers and the order of the draft picks but I thought I saw an earlier report that Ranga was taking number 47.

 

[re cat]

it will be hard looking at the 32

It's cursed anyway.

They're all cursed.

#1 -> King -> Cripple -> Axed -> Davenport -> Delisted -> Mitch Brown
#25 -> Spencer -> Dud key defender -> Delisted -> Gillies -> Key defender
#32 -> Moloney -> Axed to get Ottens -> Prismall -> Knee damage -> Traded -> Motlop
#38 -> Hunt -> Crappy backman -> Delisted -> Another Hunt -> Backman

dont forget chris kangars a backman who wore 38 last season as a rookie, delisted after 1 year.

donohue also wore 25 as a backman but moved numbers

stupid reasoning... obvously all of the numbers will have had a dodgey player using it recently, if they were any good then they would still be on the list and therefore the number would still be utilised.

basically only numbers that are vacant are being given to the new draftees, the reason they're vacant is because the previous person to wear them is not at the club anymore, most likely because they got delisted

Ranga was listed as #47 up until monday

A guy by the name of 'Buddha' wore #32, geez what a terrible player he was!

Mick Leneghan wasn't a bad player either

memories...

like the corners of my mind.

Misty water-colored memories

Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,

Of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another

For the way we were

growing up buddha hocking was my favourite player by far and that somehow influenced me into loving both moloney and prismall...

was shattered losing both the fellas, but moloney has done nothing since and prismall will be slow to get going with the dons (but will stand out in their midfield in the 2nd half of the year)

so hopefully young motlop turns out to be just as talented as his bro, but with a more accountable defensive presence to his game...give us another long term #32!
