Discussion Numbers Game

[SK_MD_#7]

My favourite off season thread, time to guess which player gets which vacant number!

New fellas needing a number;
Hunter Clark
Nick Coffield
Oscar Clavarino
Ben Paton
Logan Austin
Rookie Pick 8*

Numbers Vacant:
#11
#12
#24
#33
#38
#45

My opinion;

Brandon White > 11 ( Joey was massive wraps)

12 - I’m thinking probably stays vacant for a season

Logan Austin > 24 (Keep a Defender in it and also Demps cousin!)

31: Hunter Clark

33: Nick Coffield

38: Oscar Clavarino

45: Ben Paton

46: Rookie Pick 8

Coffield no 24

 

[Ekomaira]

like to see Clark in 11

 

[Yabadoo22]

I reckon clark would look good in Rooeys 12. The longer you leave his number vacant the more pressure you put on the next guy to wear it so I'd be happy for hunter to have it from next year. Coffield in joeys number 11, Austin 24, clavarino, patton and rookies can raffle the last few

Generally what they do with draftees is the better selection in the draft the lower number. 2013: Billings 15, Dunstan 36, Acres 40. 2014: McCartin 32, Goddard 33, McKenzie 36, Lonie 38. 2015: Gresham 22, White 31, Rice 37. 2016: Long 21, Battle 26, Phillips 30.

So that can give you a better indication which player will have what.

Paddy will take the #12. Bookmark it

Paddy will take the #12. Bookmark it

I'd really hope we don't do that tbh

 

[Sainter93]

Paddy will take the #12. Bookmark it

I'd rather us be making calls in 15 years time for the #32 Guernsey to be retired

 

[DarkSaint]

I only say this because he didn't take the #4 last year and I remember someone saying it was offered to him.

He chose not to take #4 as he didn't want the added media pressure, in addition to all the flak he had been receiving. He won't want #12 on that same basis.

 

[Mighty_sainter]

Clark will take #11 to the bank!

 

[austinnn]

Dunno about numbers but I'm going for NewShents, NicCoff, OsClav and Template as nicknames for the new boys, Logan Austin will probably get Aussie which is fine by me.

If drafted, Tom Lamb gets Lambykins or Sheepy.

Clark: “SOL”; (Son of Lenny)

Coffield: “The Jackal”; aka the silent assassin.

Clavarino: “Flanders”;... arino...

Paton: “The General”; obvs.

 

[L_W_P]

#11 - Logan Austin - Expect him to take Brown's spot form round 1. Please not #24.

#12 - Nick Coffield - From one Nick to another. Future captain.

#24 - Hunter Clark - Might upgrade one day but think it'd suit him. No nonsense.

#33 - Ben Paton - Higher number but something to keep long term.

#38 - Oscar Clavarino - Will probably upgrade to 19/20 in a couple of years.

#45 - Tom Lamb - ROll the dice

a fan at the Roeey book launch asked the question about the #12 to Rooey he said he has no say in the matter but his thought was that it would go to someone new to the club as in not reassigned to a player already with a number ...
also interestingly Rooey recalled how when Franky Pecket left the club were keen to move him into the #1 jumper but he wanted to stay at 12 ..

 

[Flandersss]

11: Coffield
24: Clark
33: Austin
38: Clavarino
45: Paton

 

[The Punter]

11 - McCartin (twitter handle is Paddymccartin11)
12 - Clark
24 - Coffield
32 - Austin
33 - Clavarino
38 - Paton
45 - Rookie

Choppy

 

[Mitch35]

11. Logan Austin
12. Brandon White (he requires a number upgrade, and I prefer not to keep 12 vacant, or give to a key position player)
24. Paddy McCartin (To sit next to great mate Hugh Goddard, also we've had a KPF in Heatley in the number)

Draftees to have their pick of the following numbers
31. Hunter Clark
32. Nicholas Coffield
33. Oscar Clavarino
38. Ben Paton
45. Doulton Langlands

 

[BrutThough]

11- Hunter Clark
12- Nick Coffield
24- Logan Austin
33- Oscar Clavarino
38- Ben Paton
45- Doulton Langlands

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Club tried really hard to change a couple of our KPF numbers last year but were rebuffed. Last I heard Paddy was very comfortable in a “no name” jumper number.
Hunter Clark lurking around locker number 11 today...

 

[StMiles1]

Honestly keen to see our new top Saints duo get handed the 11 and 12 from our formerly iconic duo. Be a nice next-generation handover thing. Even get Shinner to give 24 to Clav!

I would personally love to see Paddy play the rest of his career in...







...#32

Should be embracing it. Great players thrive under pressure and id prefer him to say 'Give me the damn number and ill carry the team forward'.
