New Players Numbers?

[dspeed]

Has anyone heard anything on what numbers the new rookies have recieved? There are 5 new guys on the list: Frawley, Petterd, Garland, Weetra and Hayes, so what numbers are they getting, or do you think they should get? Some numbers that are available are:

*Nicho's old number 8
*the famous 426 #15 (thanks to CaptainDavey for picking me up on my earlier mistake, lol)
*Philthy's number 28
*Number 42 (last year owned by Gianfagna and before that Whopper Walsh)
*Motlop's number 42

I am also assuming that 20 will continue to not be used in memory of Broady

My tips (for no particular reasons):
8 - Petterd
15 - Frawley
28 - Garland
42 - Weetra
44 - Hayes

Yeah I'll argree with all of them but just to clarify mate, Nick 426 Smith was #15 in 2006, but you've hit the nail on the head with the numbers I reckon

lol it's ok mate, twas a memorable season for 426 as he, much like great players of his calibre such as Rohan Smith or Drew Banfield retired after a finals campaign...I mean...Delisted

Heard somewhere that #20 was given to Garland.

Based on the numbers that players include with their autographs, so far it seems the following have been allocated for 2007:

8 - Frawley
15- Petterd
20 - Garland

I'll have a stab at the others:

28 - Weetra
44 - Hayes

Has the numbers been made official yet anyone?

 

[Bartram_Class]

They arent official until they get presented their jumpers at the Family Day I believe.

#15 has been cursed of late (Funcke, 426), lets hope Petterd can break that trend.

It's not the number... it's the cult-hero status.

We must resist the urge to become obsessed with these obscure footballers or they shall forever remain obscure and well... crap.

Now repeat after me: "I hate Brock McLean"....
