Hawthorn Number Predictions for 2015

[MrPremiership]

Will all be announced at the AGM?

Why would you upgrade from 40-something to 30-something?

Give Lithers 13, Frawley gets 12 and JOR gets 21. All the other recruits get the remaining numbers as they were selected

Hawthorn FC Official has said the club is announcing the players numbers later this week.

Having a guess as an outsider (and subscribing to the thread in the process)

12: Hartung
13: Frawley
21: O'Rourke
30: Howe
34: Pittonet
36: Miles (sorry Mini-Joff)
38: Hardisty
40: Langford
44: Miller-Lewis

 

[Thaihawk]

I reckon Grimley should wear the 36 next year.

Sounds good. Then Langford 2 could take 35 and Miller-Lewis, the famous 44.

Good to see the #36 Curse history spreads beyond our little circle

(why can't the club get it, then?)

 

[Rocket72]

I think they should announce the numbers as soon as the player comes to the club. Adds a bit more fan-fare when the player is presented with the jumper for the first time.

I prefer that the players research the history of the numbers, it is a great way to start them out on the great history of our club.

Perhaps I should send them this then, jumpers #2, #9 and #23 appear to be the most successful to date:

#46 Chris Mew was a great story in 1983. "Mew, streaming down field, looking for Matthews.... What a grab from the skipper" (Peter Landy, 1983 GF). I can almost recite the whole game. Only wish I could remember everything like I can games I saw when I was a kid!

 

[HomerJayS]

I don't remember Mew playing in 1991.

 

[Rocket72]

I don't remember Mew playing in 1991.

Yep, he did. I remember him playing. Wasn't 1991 the year when he made a come back after retirement?

 

[Hawks1994]

Surely the 36 has been burnt....

Reakon Frawley will get 12 as the most senior of our new players.

I like the move of Hartung up the list

 

[Hawks1994]

I also think it would be good for the outgoing player (Sewell, 12 for instance) to choose which player he wants to fill his void.

So Sewell might pick a player similar to himself. But obviously the new player must approve

No number upgrade for Jed. I object

 

[Big A]

No number upgrade for Jed. I object

If he's not going to get no1 then i actually dont mind him in 37

 

[Hawthorn23]

No number upgrade for Jed. I object

I wish he was given 7 last season! Wait till 9 is available or maybe 13 could fit him.

 

[Roughies Boys]

Poor kid has had enough injuries don't you think?

Definitely one way of telling a player you don't want them out on the field.

 

[Roughies Boys]

I wish he was given 7 last season! Wait till 9 is available or maybe 13 could fit him.

I hope #9

Number 21 stands out in terms of relative lack of achievements. A good opportunity for the next person can make a for himself.

 

[whiteTiga2k]

Maybe wait 3 years and give Jed 15

 

[Garf]

Perhaps I should send them this then, jumpers #2, #9 and #23 appear to be the most successful to date:

In 1989, Col Austen was retrospectively awarded the Brownlow Medal for season 1949. He had tied with Ron Clegg but lost on the countback system of the time.

In 1949 he wore guernsey #9.

 

[Agent Smith]

Maybe wait 3 years and give Jed 15

Make him wait 7 years and give him #3.

 

[Cyril_Grip]

Is 21s main achievement having Richie Vandenbiff as captain?

 

[Todman]

Hudson wore # 1 in 1977. He won the Coleman. Rocket Eade wore 26 from 1976.

 

[Hawthorn23]

I hope #9

Wouldn't that bloke in your avatar look good in 9 though?

 

[hfc70]

I'd prefer 136 than 36
