New Numbers?

[VelvetSledge]

Don't hold me to it, but I think he's eligible in 2014

I think so... Born February 1996. Would be 18 before the season started...

Scared scared scared scared scared by the fact that I'm going to be watching people born in 1996 play senior football in a few years time.

He wouldn't have even listened to the radio, in hope, as Tony Lockett lined up for goal after the 1996 Prelmin.

He wouldn't have heard the commentators yelling out "Sydney are into the Grand Final!", and started crying, as a confused little kid.

So this is what it's like for those guys that always refer to the 80's? do not like

One of my best mates is playing AFL next year, how do you think I feel?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Young!

Nope, December 31 is the deadline since 2009.

Two guys from my year at school have premiership medallions. That's scary.

Well at least Jack won't get that opportunity at Melbourne...

You could be talking about one of 20 or so players there...

I know . I'm a little disappointed you didn't deduce it properly Nicho, I mean I did say next year in the first post...

I have heaps of really famous friends.

Oh yeah, I feel young.

I remember one time doing cocaine with Willie Nelson's horse...

[Get Reimerd]

Give JD #6 because of his dad and he's taking Monfries spot

 

[Doss]

We haven't seen #1 in an Essendon jumper since 2010.

It's high time we bring it back, I think.

You mean the Xavier connection ?

Yep. Hopefully Jobe and Browney join Teddy, Kennedy, Hannebery and Johnson in 2013.

How do you think Fletch feels? He's playing with guys born after he debuted!

Eh, at least Fletch has accomplished a thing or two.

 

[Hodge is God]

We should retire #1 and make it the number of “the fans”.

Hawthorn does that.

It was nice for the first year (this year, I think) but now it's getting a bit wanky.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Giving the fans a number is the first step to a white clash strip with a cartoon mosquito on it. It's the first step towards being called Kia presents the Bombers in conjunction with True Value Solar (the Essendon name is too restrictive for the franchise's brand). It'd be about as good an idea as putting Ray Horsburgh in charge of ASIO's Top Secret department, or putting Joffa in charge of CERN. It's how all dictators start off.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

I'd rather put DWD and bombersnoidea in charge of recruiting and list management than set aside a number for the fans.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

The funniest thing about setting aside a number for the fans is that 99% of fans who wear a jumper with a number on it are wearing an actual player's number.
