So tigers, who do you think will be rewarded with a lower number next season and what rumoured trades, drafts and free agents do you think would look good in a certain number?
Who do you think will move on opening a number?
Will we see the cursed #22 finally broken for a young gun?

A bit of fun and speculation until official announcements are made, at which point I will edit the OP accordingly as a factual reference.

Spoiler: Mod Note

Equus, Heisenberg_, Grockadoc could we have this sticked for a reference to the members?

And please, keep this one nice.

Number 50 was Relton Roberts and it should be retired for life.

Thanks, added into the OP.

 

[Sassafras]

Thanks, added into the OP.

Also Matt Dea was 7 for a while, was he 49 before that?

 

[SunshineBoy]

7x7 = 49.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Also Matt Dea was 7 for a while, was he 49 before that?

According to my quick Google search he was the last one in #49

 

[Sassafras]

According to my quick Google search he was the last one in #49

That's most likely true. I just remember him as 7.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Do you think anyone has deserved a upgrade Sassafras?

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Also I hope I'm not the only one who really likes the "earn a lower number" system...

 

[Sassafras]

Do you think anyone has deserved a upgrade Sassafras?

I definitely like the deserving a lower number system. I'll have a think, but Jayden Short might deserve a number in the 20s.

I could see him in #11 if Batchelor goes.

#eco

Dude, seriously?

 

[_DBF_]

Matt Dea was #43 I'm certain.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Then who was the last #49?

 

[Sassafras]

I could see him in #11 if Batchelor goes.

True, but if Batchelor does leave, Menadue just looks like a number 11 sort of guy to me.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Number 50 was Relton Roberts and it should be retired for life.

Saw it signed and framed and hanging in the local Hungry Jacks with a thank you note!

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

True, but if Batchelor does leave, Menadue just looks like a number 11 sort of guy to me.

Menadue should be #2 so when he gets the ball we can collectively yell "Menatwoooooooo!"

But he would also suit the 6 should Grigg leave, or 20 if Maric pulls the pin.

 

[Sassafras]

Ha. Did he really get the burger from there? I thought it was from a random take away shop?

 

[Sassafras]

I like the idea of 2, but Grimes has that pretty well covered. To me a number 2 and 11 should be lean and underrated high quality players. Whereas 20 should be a big guy.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

1 should be a big guy, Vlas needs a growth spurt.

I was actually surprised Vlas took the #1, never took me as that sort of number.

I was shocked Vlas' changed number, I thought 31 suited him perfectly.

Number 1 I'm too used to seeing on Newman to imagine it on a big guy (at least at Richmond), Rance would suit 1, but I would keep him at 18.

I'd love Jack in #1, I've never thought #8 suited him really.

 

[Sassafras]

Good point, 8 would suit Miles far more.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Good point, 8 would suit Miles far more.

Likewise 6 doesn't suit Grigg, but 8 would as well
