New #7

[Old Trout #7]

With Brock McLean's decision to relinquish the legendary #7 geurnsey for the #14, who would be the next worthy recipient to pull it on?

For mine, Jamo.

 

[iRemember87]

Don't see any reason that is has to be filled by a current player.

Maybe our 1st pick from next years draft.

 

[Sin City]

I reckon our first round pick from this year's draft.

Absolutely, I totally agree. I was just interested as it only occured to me the other night that he had switched numbers.

Out of the current crop I felt that Jamo would be a good fit given his great form and leadership qualities. Also believe Garlett would be ideal.

 

[HARKER]

Dylan Buckley will have the best shot at it.

 

[DirkDiggler]

It may be cursed. Who has had it since Ratts retired?

 

[Old Trout #7]

Adam Bentick for one.

 

[BlueTongue]

Curnow or Cachia

 

[Brownlow Murphy]

whoever has the biggest ears?

 

[Old Trout #7]

Dylan Buckley will have the best shot at it.

After some swift research, I concur...

Collins. Buckley can drag the anvil weight of 16 for a couple of years before he is howled out of town for not being a Jimmy-Bot.

 

[Koutafidamedis]

I'd love to see Jeffy Garlett in no 7.

Love this -

*Please note - The Carlton Football Club had offered to keep the number 16 guernsey on hold in anticipation of drafting Dylan Buckley, however Dylan advised the Club that he wished to forge his own history with Carlton and requested that another number be allocated to him.

For a second there, I was looking forward to a news story about Channel Seven sacking their commentators, cameramen and producers.

Damn.

 

[zeeCFC]

And get rid of the mega wall? Card worthy, TG

 

[jonoman89]

A lot of rookie players like keeping their high number. Jamo for instance turned down an offer of a higher number.

The higher number reminds them of how far they've come.

Give it to one of the two players we draft with the Marc Murphy GWS-compensation picks.

 

[HBF]

Give it to Curnow. He's thoroughly deserved it!

 

[Bronze]

Give it to one of the two players we draft with the Marc Murphy GWS-compensation picks.

Hey, you could very well be on the money with that.
I've heard another single digit jumper might be available at the end of the season too.

 

[Koutafidamedis]

Give it to Curnow. He's thoroughly deserved it!

Nah I like Ed in 35.
Plus he can help put a bit of respect into Peter Dean's number.
For the record these are our last 5 no 35's before Curnow.

Lance Styles 3 games (1973-74)
Peter Halsall 2 games (1978)
Denis Lenaghan 9 games (1981-82)
Peter Dean 248 games (1984-98)
Blake Campbell 11 games (2002-03)

1 Walker, Andrew
2 Russell, Jordan
3 Murphy, Marc
4 Gibbs, Bryce
5 Judd, Chris
6 Simpson, Kade
8 Kreuzer, Matthew
9 Lucas, Kane
10 Watson, Matthew

 

[Bronze]

Very good. Number 10 has two digits though.

#9 would be my guess???

Exactly, unless asked to relinquish a number for a reason. I can't understand why a player would want to change.

Make the number yours
