Prediction Jumper Numbers for 2016

[Nickos66]

He'll be fine.. Time to shake this silly tag now I think. He's mates with Ed Langdon from their Sandringham days together and they've been in contact since they played together so he's in good company.

That's just the super-serious blue steel face he pulls in all his photos.

 

[estibador]

But look, I found one of him smiling... and he's wearing a Freo jumper.

 

[Purple Pills]

I noticed in this mornings freo snap chats that Tucker was wearing 41... based on the fact all the senior guys were wearing their correct number and the fact another half back flanker has recently vacated that number i think its fairly possible he'll be keeping it.

I like it.

A lot of teams have made announcements now, assume we won't be too far away.

Going by last year's timeframe it'll be next Friday.

 

[leeloo]

Next Friday is the Christmas party, maybe they will announce it there?

All clubs have announced the guernsey numbers for 2016 bar Freo, Hawks, Saints and Port, although Port are doing theirs one per day and are three players into it.

Jumper numbers for new recruits.

4 Bennell
18 Tucker
24 Balic
40 Collins
41 Yarran
42 Uebergang
43 Nyhuis

Interesting that Crowley's number is vacant. #15 must be promised to McCarthy or Hogan. Lol.

EDIT missed one. 15 Hughes

It seems like forever that I always think what do we have against the number 2 and go looking to see who wore it last, only to remember that Mora wears it

Hope we see it a bit more this year!

 

[EatonPizza]

#4 hope he likes lamb chops.

 

[freodog]

It'll be the quickest the No. 4 jumper has ever moved

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Haha, Harley asked Sherro if he'd be willing to give up #11... Got an straight-up no. Interesting how players get so attached to certain numbers

 

[Allikat]

I'm glad we haven't had a mass reshuffling of numbers. It gets so confusing otherwise. Tucker's got a lot to live up to but I reckon he could have the goods

 

[simpsonwillo]

Harley will look awesome in the number 4. Not since Haze has the number 4 been filled with the right player. Harley has incredible potential and oozes class,one of my favourite players to watch.
I love the name Darcy Tucker and 18 will go very nicely for him. He looks like a well built player already and he could really surprise this year I'm thinking.
Baltic in the 24. Oh yeah, love our picks and their new numbers. Dynasty brewing

 

[purplerunsdeep]

I'm glad Tommy said no - he deserves it more plus I think Harley needs a fresh start

Interestingly, 2016 could be the first year that jumper #44 hasn't been allocated since 2003:

Jumper #44
2015 - Jacob Ballard (1 game)
2014 - Jacob Ballard (0 games)
2013 - Jesse Crichton (1 game)
2012 - Jesse Crichton (4 games)
2011 - Jesse Crichton (7 games)
2010 - Jesse Crichton (6 games)
2009 - Brent Connelly (0 games)
2008 - Brent Connelly (0 games)
2007 - Darren Rumble (0 games)
2006 - Michael Warren (1 game)
2005 - Michael Warren (0 games)
2004 - Michael Warren (0 games)
2003 -
2002 -
2001 - Daniel Bandy (17 games)
2000 - Daniel Bandy (22 games)
1999 - Daniel Bandy (20 games)
1998 - Daniel Bandy (12 games)
1997 - Daniel Bandy (18 games)
1996 - Daniel Bandy (13 games)
1995 - Daniel Bandy (3 games)


Note: for the life of me, I couldn't find a list of the players in the 2002 and 2003 squads - so it is possible that somebody who didn't play a game wore it for those two years. Josh Head is a possibility: he was #42 during his second stint in 2008-2009, but he had a different number in 2002-2003 since Robbie Haddrill was #42 back then.

This has now come to pass. Does anybody have a Footy Record from 2002 or 2003 lying around that could confirm who wore the #44 jumper in those years (if at all)?

Looks like it was vacant in 2002. Josh Head had #41. And Sandilands had #13 with Eastaugh in #31.

Great find!
Looks like we only had 38 players + 5 rookies back then.
Interesting to see McPharlin in the #15, and Sandilands in the #13 though!!

The number 13 wouldn't be the worst number for a youngster to start in at Freo.
