Will be interesting to see which draftee gets which number.

Interesting to note that Lloydy was wearing the number 3 guernsey at training and there is a rumour that he'll be wearing that next season, hopefully he can be a bit more succesful than his predecessor :p
 
Yeah, I saw that over at Blitz. As I said over there, I don't like that idea of captains wearing 3 at all. Lloydy has worked hard to make 18 his own (as did Hirdy with 5) and he deserves to keep it. I'd be very dissapointed to see him (and any other future captain) change.

I think Gumbleton will get no. 3, Ryder will get no.7

Jetta could possibly Rioli's no. 43

Leroy wouldn't like that I rekon;) He will be after a lower number as most kids do. Even Timmy Watson said he was spewin when EFC gave him 32 as a recruit...what is it about low jumper numbers?


Hirdy should vacate the no5;) and give it to Gumby cause I rekon he will be our next TD type of player.

JH doesn't really need a number any more;) he can be the first player in history to run around the field without a number. Everyone knows who he is by now;)

He could then sell the blank space on the back for $500,000 to a company for advertising. Hirdy the moving billboard...the cameras are always on him:D
 
i think this is the post where i tell u to use the search function mcphee!! lol just kidding.
Ryder -7
Gumby - 3
Michael - 30 (fletch 31, lee 32, mcphee 33)
Davey - 41 (same number he wore in sanfl)
Jetta - 43 (might want a lower number but i am sure he wouldnt say no to riolis)
Hislop - 29
Houli - 22
Reimers - 36 (lucys number.. i think 36)

Those suggestions look pretty good to me

Gumby had no 14 at Peel Thunder so he wont care what he gets I imagine.

Gumby for No. 3?

Sounds great doesn't it? Every Bomber fan would love to see our new young recruit forge a fantastic career in the clubs most famous jumper. It would be great to see a young champion wash the recent embarassment out of it.

However, isn't it a bit much to hand to a kid who hasn't even figured out where his locker is? I'm not suggesting that one day Gumby might be ready to wear the No. 3, but whats the harm in giving him another number and when he finds his feet at the club, in a few years, handing him the jumper.

Don't put too much pressure on the kid, let him make a career thats his own, and give him the option to take on the No. 3 when he's ready.

The sooner we wash the Aaron out of the no 3 the better;) :thumbsu:


Give it to Gumbleton.

so true, i need the image of him in our club jumper burnt from my brain and if gumbleton got the number 3 i think that very well may do it.

yes,let us banish the hennos from our brains and reinvent the No 3;)
 
They could invite Napisan on board to wash the number 3 jumper out and get rid of those hard to reach stains.

There are a number of them to wash out. Apart from Reynolds and Salmon there has hardly been a huge number of household names wear it. The names O'Conner, Day, Redenbach and Gross hardly roll of the tounge in discusions of Bomber greats from the last 40 years.
