New Numbers?

[Ben the Gooner]

9 for BJ pls

 

[George Washington]

Which Essendon player was it that had a huge ego?

Zaka? Yeah, well he's clearly rubbed off on Brendon already.
George Washington

Head.

Wobble.

 

[Goddard2Garlett]

Pretty sure the champs squads are random allocation though, so I'd say he takes 6.
Also I can't see hibberd in anything but 43. 13 should either be given to an indigenous draftee, or shelved until longys boy is ready to possibly come into the fold

13...Dayle garlett...make it happen...

 

[Goddard2Garlett]

9 for BJ pls

Didn't he play juniors with Winderlich? I think he will be in 9 for sure...

 

[DaSawx]

13...Dayle garlett...make it happen...

I'm in the make him earn it team, keep 13 open for a year or two.

 

[ItchMint5]

The number 13 jumper must be earnt. Essendon can't and won't just hand it to Garlett before he proves himself to the footy club...

Would be thinking number 9 for Goddard.

 

[Slattery_20]

The number 13 jumper must be earnt.

Aaahhh.... what?
Does anyone actually know who's had that locker the past decade?
A kid who didn't play a game in 2-3 years, and two of the all time worst flogs in our club's history.
Perspective, folks.


Hardly been hard to earn recently. Let's not presume (that is what we're doing) this kid is any better or worse than Lovey or Cupes.

 

[Rack Watts]

9 for BJ pls

I'd give you 10, I believe in tipping 10%.

 

[Doss]

Question: was number 19 vacant completely in seasons 2000, 2001 and 2002? Hille took it in 2003 and has had it ever since, and Peter Somerville before him had it for 11 years from 1989-99....is there a project ruckman we had on our list in those years who never played a game?

Edit: I just had a vague recollection; it wasn't Michael Davis, was it?

 

[Slattery_20]

FWIW, some word about that a certain recruit may have been signing a signature with a '1' in it at a recent training camp...

Page Mero...

Would seem odd. Not someone we drafted but never got a game? Was Eastaugh still on our list in 2000-01, or had he gone to Freo?
God we went through some ruckmen after Somerville... Eastuagh, Ukovic, Grgic, Cartledge! STARS.

Eastaugh was 38 wasn't he?

 

[Slattery_20]

30-something, but I'm thinking maybe he (or someone else) changed jumpers with the retirement of Somerville.

Yes, 19 was not used between Somerville 1999 and David Hille 2002.
It was not even used in the Reserves.

Simon Eastaugh wore 36.

 

[Slattery_20]

That is very interesting. I wonder if they were hoping someone would lock down that spot? And it never happened?

I'm in the. you've got 13 you are the man for a year or ten....13 was only ever famous once at our club , don't wait, let's make it 2...

I'm in the don't give a kid with questionable work ethics everything on a platter, if you're good enough it'll be yours soon club.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Just started following Marty Gleeson on Twitter. His description says "Essendon FC #35". Looks like our boy Moose is getting an upgrade!!

 

[DaSawx]

I reckon NOB, Kav and maybe Davis might get upgrades, haven't set the world on fire yet but thought of highly by TRB.

 

[NC23]

Wouldn't be surprised if BJ takes #6 - he's a Lebron fan, so let's hope he makes a similar impact as LBJ did for South Beach

Look if either become LBJ-esque I'll survive

No idea about basketball, but I'll trust you on this.

F*ck yeah, LBJ

On the road to being arguably the sport's greatest player?

Yeah that'll do just fine.

Wat you did there....I saw it
