Number Changes?

[Tommyneu]

Any news on number changes for 2008? Meesen? Available numbers include:
3
10
16
25
26
30
33
Maybe Chopper and Bode may seek a higher number? Hopefully the kid we get at 4 gets 16!

If Chop and Bode were any higher they would be into triple digits

Meesen will get 26 I'm thinking, would suit.

 

[Supermercado]

Because he's liable to be about as much use as Luke Williams?

 

[eliasd82]

I can see Sampi in 33 and either Morton or Palmer in 16..

 

[FOOOOTY]

I think give 3 to the no: 4 pick

Quite possible, but let's hope not

Haha I worded that rather badly. I meant higher like in the number chain, 1 being the highest. Yeah...just out of curiosity, have we ever had a player that wore number 50+?

 

[benrey_demons]

rivers a lower number? davey even?

morton/cotchin would look good in no3

 

[Jonesy2]

3 cotchin (hope he slips thru) the next darren jarman
10 Messen wore number 2 at the crows needs to be 5 times better at melbourne
16 Bode wants to get our Rigonis shadow
25 Valenti, idolised N brown as a yongster
26 Warnock, nobody every been a good player wearing 37!
30 Nobody wants to wear godfrey number in case his skills rub off
33 Sampi, follow in the wizards footsteps

Ahk then, dunno why you would want any number 40 plus but anyway.. Yeah im not sure about that one, dunno how you would find out either?

 

[Brock 'n' Roll]

Retire 30!

I am pretty sure Cam Bruce (or possibly Brad green) played the Ansett cup in 2000 with the number 51 on his back.

James McDonald debuted in 54. (http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1997/CWME19970727.html)

And lest we forget Brent Heaver, the greatest #54 of all time.

3 - Michael Newton - The kid is worthy of a prestigious number.
10 - First round draft pick.
25 - Jace Bode - Looks like a similar player to Doggy.
26 - John Meeson - Just suits him for some reason.

Couldnt agree more,
Newton to keep number 29 it suits him, as it suited Shaun Smith.
Give number 3 to our first round pick.

If they change Newton from 29 to a single digit number it means I'll be able to put more love hearts around it on the back of my jumper.

 

[MacDemon]

Lets not get silly with the Sampi being drafted thing! I'd rather roll the dice with a kid who hasn't been tested and failed. I understand the sentiments of the #33 thing. It was a larger size!

i remember probably around 12 years ago we had a forward with the surname bradley?? i think he wore 50. i just remember him kicking a bag of goals one day...

 

[Supermercado]

Mark Bradly was #40 in '98, and he certainly never kicked a bag.

What about Bernie Massey? Premiership full-back and coach of the 1971 Night Premiers.
Jimmy Stynes had it for a while too, in fact he was wearing it when he wandered over that mark.
