Jumper Numbers

[Ghost Pig]

31 and 29 should both be retired until we have another home grown 210cm+ ruck and 60+ goal a year kpf respectively.

Think that is a given. Personally I'm hoping he inherits Chris Mayne's forward pressure as well as his old number.

But I'm also hopeful when we draft Jesse Motlop next year he grabs Colyer's #33 and becomes our Cyril Rioli. That's how it works doesn't it?

Yeah and Henry grows 15cm and becomes Buddy Franklin

Geez we have a decent group of youngsters. Our list is humming

 

[Pussinbootz]

Whoever said O’Driscoll was pushing 190cm must have been taking the piss. Surely. Looks 184 at best

187

 

[Pussinbootz]

187

That’s his recorded height but he looks even shorter. I may be wrong but was it you eDPS who said he was pushing 190 lol

Scratch that mate I don’t think it was you

Dunno what you're lookin' at he looks closer to 190 than 184 to me.

Are we talking about the same photo? I’m just basing it of his apparent height comparative to Walker & Bewley

Henry wanted to change to #23 (or #33) because he idolised Buddy and Rioli growing up.

I find fans way overrate the importance of who wore numbers in a team previously whereas from a player's perspective it is more important that it is meaningful to them individually. Think the important thing (from a Freo perspective) is that the players respect the jumper (and all those who have previously worn it irrespective of number).

Nah that's tosh, otherwise we just give 29 to any old dick and don't care what he does with it. Half the numpties liking this post were the ones rabbiting on loudest about kulcha as a reason for the Hogan firessle.
It really does matter that the second most important player the club has ever had is shown some respect.

Ah yeah he does look shorter in the new numbers pick :s weird...

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I want to see Meek in one of Serong’s old guernseys

That is a very specific fetish you have there #ilikebigguysinsmalltops

 

[Nodgey]

Yeah yeah Fyfe and Walters have done it but I’m still a bit uncomfortable about players changing numbers. Especially after you’ve debuted. Make your current number meaningful.

Some people don't care and you can't make them care.

I don't care if the players do it but find it weird that they are that determined to get a particular number that they change.
