Jumper Numbers 2024

[Joose]

Available are 5, 14, 16, 21, 23, 29, 33 and 38.

If it were up to me to allocate them

5 - Delean
14 - Sharpe
16 - Simpson
21 - Murphy
23 - McDonald
29 - Rookie selection

16 was retired for a year - thats enough.
Time to bring 29 back. I would give it to a rookie,,give them a lift.

 

[Nodgey]

Some high quality numbers available. 16, 29, 33…. Excited to see who gets them next.

I like the idea of past players handing them over to the new breed. Get Dave, Pav and Wiz down there to present them.

 

[Rockmelon]

Matty Johnson to get 5

 

[Pussinbootz]

Erasmus 5 / 14
Johnson 5 / 14
Simpson 16
Murphy 21
Sharp 23
Delean 33

 

[ImperialPurple]

Matty Johnson to get 5

I think he’s said he wants to keep 44.

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

Personally, I think Erasmus moves up to 5 this season, opening up 28.

As just stated, it does seem like Johnson wants to keep 44, but I'm wondering if he'd be tempted by 14.

There's also the possibility of some players requesting higher numbers. Possibly Treacy or Wagner, maybe a Conrad Williams moves up to 33 if we think he's going to make it, but I'm less convinced on these.

So with all that said, I think:

#5 Erasmus
#14 Johnson
#16 Simpson
#21 McDonald
#23 Sharp
#28 Murphy
#29 Delean
#33 Williams
#38 Jones

Simpson seems a good fit for 16 character-wise. Whilst after getting a better idea of Deleans personality since the draft, I think he's got that bit of dog in him to embrace the 'challenge' of taking 29.

 

[Rockmelon]

I think he’s said he wants to keep 44.

I can respect that, i know he carries a chip on his shoulder for sliding out of the first round so maybe that's part of his reasoning

 

[Pussinbootz]

44 is a great number i hope he does keep it

 

[The Feeder Club]

Johnny the Rat Platten is one of my all time favourite players and wore 44.

 

[Taylor]

Ryan Daniels says Sharp will be in fourteen.

 

[DragoDelph]

Ryan Daniels says Sharp will be in fourteen.

 

[FreoGirl]

Amiss deserves 29

Simpson is a natural-born leader and mid, so he gets #16

Nobody for # 23

 

[Ge3ks]

Wilson's old number. Like it.

The Club needs to update the squad list ASAP. Feels gross seeing Henry and Schultz still on there;

Stanley could probably move up as well, pretty sure he didn’t get a chance to choose as an MSD selection.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I’d like to see Young move to 16.

 

[Nodgey]

Then Tabs can finally get the 26 he was born to hold.

 

[freo_leo29]

Matty Johnson to get 5

Johnson likes 44, not sure he will change

 

[freo_leo29]

Erasmus 5 (follow in Schultz footsteps)
Sharp 14
Murphy 16
McDonald 21
Jones 28
Simpson 29
Delean 33

Something like that

5. Simpson. High number similar to Serong and Brayshaw, with whom he'll form a devastating midfield for the next decade. Plus he was wearing 3 in his highlights, so might prefer the single digit number anyway?
14. Sharp if the reports are true. But if not, then Odin Jones who likes a bit of physicality and niggle. Follows on from one of my favourites in Antoni Grover

who was physical and dependable.
16. Murphy. No comparisons here with the former holder of this number.
21. McDonald. Pure Hamling replacement, right down to jumper number.
23. Stanley. Heaps better than the last bloke who wore this number in his position... You show 'em Ethan.
29. Jones/Sharp. See notes for 14.
33. Delean. Following the tradition a certain former mercurial forward. All hail the new Purple Jesus!
38. Next cab off the rank...

As soon as Simpson said he wanted to be a loyal one club player I locked him in for the 29

Club thought the same way
