Numbers

[Pussinbootz]

Interesting that Johnson is gonna be 44

Would have thought an earlier number for him

So
Johnson 44
Shoota 5
Erasmus 28

Guesses with some type of justification
Clark 6 - same number as Cats
Amiss 17 - Lowest number, Dixon recent KPF to have it
Kelm 42 - Higher number
Benning 32 - Hill indigenous connection
Brodie 24 - Lowest available left
Worner 40 - Rookie type number

5 on Schultz seems odd. Has this been confirmed?

I really like 32 on Benning.

28 & 44 are clearly placeholders for Erasmus & Johnson. They’ll probably get first dibs on 9 & 12 when Acres & Crowden eventually get delisted

Don't mind me, just logging my annual request for a Taberner/Young swap.

Not being in the sacred #26 is all that's standing between Tabs and a Coleman, and Young isn't anywhere near enough of a moon unit to be occupying it.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

32 is a pretty famous number down your way and has only been worn by two players since 2001, it should probably go to one of the top picks. Maybe Amiss?

 

[freo_leo29]

Whoever does grab 32 needs to stay with it, was a bit soured by Henry swapping out of 31, it should be an honour to get 31 and the club made a big deal out of it when he was given it.

FYI amiss has added #24 to his bio

Unless I'm incorrect last year current players seem to be given the choice to move numbers, new trades/free agents as well than draftees were allocated in ascending order.

 

[Tbonefreo]

What number does Treacy have?

 

[Eski3]

Why do they bother delaying the announcement if numbers are already allocated?

Probably still some existing players that are working out number swaps.

 

[konasphere]

I think Freddy has taken the plunge and inherited the fastest number on the list. Long live #32

 

[ChisholmDale]

Brodie 17 by the look of it too

 

[Tonga Bob]

I like the way Bob communicates.

 

[DragoDelph]

I like the way Bob communicates.

Simple, straightforward, to the point. But still with love and passion

Thank you!!!

Oh you mean the other Bob.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Thank you!!!

No I meant you!!!

I have never seen Tonga Bob and Bob Murphy in the same room together, just saying.

I have. It cost a lot of money but I don't live with any regrets.

Well there was that one time in 2016...

Does anyone know if the playing jumpers next year might be different, I think I read an article that stated the club will be using the anchor guernseys more frequently in 2022, albeit not every week. Interesting that normally they promote the guernsey numbers with a short video or photo of the players holding the jumper or wearing it but I haven’t seen that just yet (this could change. Could this be a sign that they are waiting on revealing a fresh kit for 2022 that hopefully recognises the clubs traditional culture and embraces the past rather than shying away from it… and wearing chevrons to look more ‘professional’…. I’m not sure?


Keep in mind at the time I am writing this there has been no promotional stuff about 2022 guernseys… I think

Apologies to keep belatedly putting out stuff from Members Meeting, but re anchors, Simon Garlick noted that these had not always been viewed externally as positive symbols (dragging us down etc.) but the club is embracing anchors effectively as strong, grounding values. More on this in the Strategic plan also.

A quick way to turn a negative symbol into a positive symbol is winning in it.
