Jumper Numbers

[wayToGo_]

Serong vacates 22 to move to 3 how unfortunate.

Think it might be a good sign.

#3 Serong
#4 Darcy
#5 Cerra
(#6 Conca)
#7 Fyfe
#8 Brayshaw
#9 Acres
#10 Walters
#11 Aish

It's our entire midfield (sans Tucker and Mundy) all grouped together.

Don't love Henry giving up 31. He really shouldn't have accepted it from the start if it wasn't a jumper he was willing to stick with.

 

[Square Peg]

Thomas taking 24, I like the brashness.
I agree with Wizard, you don't disrespect #31 when you're a kid that's done three quarters of **** all with it in your first year.

I'm happy it's not just me thinking this. Now it's passed around like nothing, no publicity over it, just another number.

Oh yeah - there have been many others cursed by the number 17 at our footy club. These were just the ones who actually made it out onto the field. Tarrant and Ballas couldn’t pass it off quick enough. Johnson and Schofield coasted to retirement in it.

never reached his potential wearing it.
26 seasons - 194 appearances total. Chuck it in the bin and set it on fire!
Just don’t give it to any of the new boys. If Bewley is moving from 34 as is the rumour, and he has a favourite number he has his eye on ... please let it be 17.

You got your wish at least

"Watson said his motivation was to keep the no.38 in the backline.

“I switched from 45 to 38 because of my idol at the club, Lukey Ryan. He used to wear 38 and now he’s in 13, so I thought I would try and continue on his legacy in 38 in the backline,” Watson said."

Ryan a living legend already?

 

[MadMundy]

I don't understand the backlash on here to Henry leaving #31. It's his choice, if he wants another number he can, yes 31 has history, but who cares?

It's hardly backlash.

He just shouldn't have accepted it to begin with if he wasn't happy to use it for his entire career IMO.

Sounds like
1. It was next to Hilly who he lives with to help adjust to AFL.

2. He wanted to get as close to 33 or 23 as possible.

Yeah out of his height range next to Hamling and Tabs i spose xD

Players change all the time. I’m not getting why you’re singling out Henry?

edit: just made the connection, you think it’s disrespectful to Sandi

- if Serong wasn't planning on wearing the great 22 for life he should never had pulled it on!

this 100%. something is wrong down at Freo.

 

[Carnthedockers]

Quality from daniels

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Sturt in #1 and Serong in #3 just feel absolutely perfect to me and I can't explain why

 

[Sully90]

If he didn't accept it then there'd be people on here bagging him for being a prima donna first year for turning down a famous Docker number offered to him and disrespecting a Club legend. They're just numbers, our players can do what they like with them.

 

[freo1997]

Meek and Bewley changing their numbers....would of thought it be the last thing on the to do list for players of that calibre.

Yeah bit crappy by henry. Clearly has tickets on himself. You can half tell by the way he goes about it on the field too imo.

Good.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Who gives a stuff about Henry swapping numbers, it's not disrespectful in the slightest. Maybe he wore #23 during his junior footy?

So Henry has a bit of an ego.....Because he changed numbers?

 

[wayToGo_]

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).

Spot on.

Sturt better not stitch us up and leave when his contract is up after snagging the number 1 guernsey.

Personally I’m going to believe he was a big Shane Parker
