Jumper Numbers

[Joose]

I know its only a trivial thing but , hey, we have new players.

Free numbers are 1, 3, 17, 23, 24, 35, 38, 40.

Tradition at Freo has been to give the top draft pick the lowest available number - so Chapman gets #1 I would assume?

Also Thomas has 46, Dumin has 44 and Watson has 45 while our list size is only 43. Do we squash them up a bit?

Such conundrums.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I’d be handing Serong #1.

Then work out the others from there.

I reckon Duman will want to keep 44, and 17 seems to be our poison number, so dunno if that mixes things up at all.

 

[jerms]

I'd be down with NOD getting #3 to match his sister.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Yes! This! So much this!

 

[ignoramus]

I’d be handing Serong #1.

No.1 goes to Western in my mind.

Cerra has 5 and Brayshaw 8.

Darcy also has 4. Not sure if its tradition

 

[stax on the mull]

No.1 goes to Western in my mind.

Ballas maybe gets to present the No 1 jumper to someone smaller than him

 

[ImperialPurple]

No.1 goes to Western in my mind.

Why is that?

 

[ignoramus]

Why is that?

Ballas Mk II. Improvements on the old model include increased speed and bigger kick, all packed into a unit with slightly smaller dimensions.

Fair enough.

I still think Serong. He's well and truly earned it. Having said that, I don’t think it will happen.

 

[Taylor]

Yes! This! So much this!

Nathan mentioned this in their combined press conference this morning, if he had #3 then his parents wouldn't need to get another top.

I think we also need to remember the Ballas from 2009-2016 was a an absolute jet. Western is still unproven, but if he gets to Ballas ‘in his prime’ level - we’ll have a bloody good player.

Cerra has 5 and Brayshaw 8.

Darcy also has 4. Not sure if its tradition

Darcy has 4 because Logue is 2. Logue was the first taken in that draft, then Darcy followed by Cox and Ryan. So that year they all went in order

 

[Pussinbootz]

My preference

1 Serong
3 O’Driscoll
17 Chapman
22 Western
23 Walker
35 Treacy

This is why he needs to get the No.1

Good point. I forgot about Logie.

Still it isn't a tradition though

 

[The Big Doggy]

Cerra was also pick number 5 which I think is what gave him the same number

 

[ImperialPurple]

Cerra was also pick number 5 which I think is what gave him the same number

But Brayshaw was picked before Cerra, and they got the numbers the opposite way. Number 8 had a little but more ‘value’ because Shaun Mac, club legend, so the higher pick of the two got that number. And Cerra was pick 5 so I guess they felt it warranted him getting 5 in that situation. Dunno bout that, but the 8 was definitely the Shaun McManus connection.
They go mix it’s up sometimes. Where did 29 fit in that drafting order? I genuinely don’t remember.
#Vote1Serong!

 

[freo1997]

Serong should make 22 his own. Just like pav did with 29.

Number 22 sucks

Let's remember the number wasn't always worn by the great man - he made number 29 what it us.

Kevin Bartlett comes to mind. Gary Ablett Jnr, Boomer Harvey. I’m talking about the number in general.

Not my intention tbh. 29 just seems like itd be just another number for this club if Pav hadn't worn it though.
