Numbers

[Stealth bomber]

When do they assign guernsey numbers to new players? I assume they probably wait until after the draft?

Am i alone in wanting the club to give Jobe Watson #32?

I would have liked to have seen it myself.

But everyone else has said things along the lines of "he has to make his own number for himself".

I predict:
Cupido #12 or #22 (wore 21 at Brisbane)
McPhee #17 (same as at Freo)
Jobe - #19
Any ruckman drafted: #27
Welsh changes from #41 to something lower (maybe #8?)

So thats why Blumfield got the chop.
I dont think they should let another ruckman wear 27 look what it did to Alessio it puts to much pressure on them to try & live up to the feats of Madden which I doubt any ruckman will ever be able to do again.

give it to hille
put the kid under even more pressure!

Nope, I'm with you and I imagine plenty of others are also.

here's a question for everyone.....

why has essendon left the number 19 vacant since sommerville was delisted???

Jobe should defintely get 32
mcphee 17
cupido 12
welsh 8 (this kid is going to be an absolute gun)
give rioili number 13 (longy's old number)

Jobe's already said that he doesn't want #32 - maybe he feels he doesn't deserve it???
I don't think he shouldn't get it, not yet anyway, he's already got enough pressure on him

I can see what you mean, there have been plenty of players deserving of his number......McAlister comes to mind!!!

I don't Toppy.....

I want him to make a name for himself by himself and not live in the shadow of his old man which he always would be if he wore 32

Hey Dodge ... glad that you finally made your way here.

On Jobe ... he'll be already living in his father's shadow. Him having another number isn't going to make a difference one iota! He is who he is ... in #32 or in #33 or in #26.

Number 4's now vacant as well.....

Hopefully some big Italian bloke is bound to take it back.
