Number Suggestions

[MachoRandySavage]

Would love to see Marcus Drum get 29. Keep the family heritage alive.

Anyone else got an idea for a switch?

 

[CatTricks]

Menzel number 2? Get rid of that number 10 curse

 

[MachoRandySavage]

Selwood to 2, made captain.

 

[Varcoe2Chapman]

Retire #33. Too much pressure on a young kid coming up through the ranks to wear it.

ON the other hand 29 can be given to someone else.

Joel Selwood has been pretty impressive breaking the #14 curse.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Taylor Hunt into number 2.

33 to be held out.

Blake into 29 as he will leave at the end of the year

I can't believe we had Riccardi publically hand 15 over to Gamble in Round 22 2006.

Selwood to 2, made captain.

Yes. I think Taylor Hunt is worthy of a new number too!

Yeah, not keen on the "public handovers" of guernsey numbers by retiring legends. Could be a thrill for the kid, but it becomes embarassing if they don't kick on. St Kilda must feel a bit the same about Nathan Burke handing over his no 3 to X Clarke.

Taylor Hunt into number 2.

What number was Brad Sholl , there is a little bit of him in THunt I think.

Pretty sure Brad was 12 if memory serves me correctly

 

[Whispers]

Of course Nails was 12!!

#33 should be retired, at least for now.

I'm happy to bring 2 or 19 back out (we would have to, otherwise go into the 50's, if we retire 33), so long as we give it to someone who has a rock solid future.

Menzel to be de-tenaced please.

 

[witsend]

I say put a kid in 29 immediately...let Kenny Hinkley's legacy continue!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

JPOD into 29!

Nah, don't make me have to buy a new jumper!

Actually, it's funny you guys mention Sholl because I was watching SJ's video again today, and one of my thoughts was how much Taylor looks like Brad Sholl, there's a real similarity there.

We can't move Westy though (unless Otto retires and he gets the 6, which is 12 months away)...he must not go into 24 lest it curse him.

Surely 29 must go to Adam Varcoe. 5 went to Travis, makes total sense to me that the other Varcoe gets the other Ablett number.

Discussing player numbers.. Jeeeeez we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel...

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

To be honest, I'd rather new players made a jumper number their own, like Ling and Enright have done. For a player who has been on the list for three or four years to switch from a number in the 30s to a single digit number...I just don't see the point. If a rookie wants #2, well good luck to him. It's just a number.

You're not wrong, and worse still we're contributing, but no damage

 

[MontyMensch]

If I was Hunt I would stick with the 38.... there are few guys around the club who have few medals from hanging on to the first high numbers they got as kids - Ling, Enright, Wojo.
Pods has to stay in the 31, is the cult-figure jumper at KP, First the Monster and now the J-Pod.
Menzel has not played a bad game in the 10, and the way you break the curse of Jumpers in by getting people to wear them. Let's face more than just a few jumper numbers curses have been broken of late.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Good points MM.

My only issue is that if we're going to retire the 33, then we have to give the 2 or 19 to someone unless we want to have the numbers go into the 50's, so if we do bring out the 2 and the 19 I'd rather give it to some gun kid who clearly will make, rather than one of this year's draftees, as I'd hate to see '2' for example, get delisted

 

[pinion]

harry taylor should revolve between numbers 2, 7, 29 and 33

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Surely 29 must go to Adam Varcoe. 5 went to Travis, makes total sense to me that the other Varcoe gets the other Ablett number.

I suppose this won't be happening now.

 

[Vdubs]

Not happy tonight. Was really looking forward to the Varcoe bros at Geelong. This has been a real topsy-turvy offseason so far. What next? Used to be the Abletts that created some havoc post season.

I think Adam Varcoe just got 86-ed
