Player number changes

[Ford Fairlane]

What number did his old man wear?

32 and 8 at Port.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Butch -> 35
Brabert -> 32

*just a guess.

Chad Cornes is taking #53 at GWS.

My word a few months back was he will be handing #35 to The Future.

The FUTURE to keep 32

I believe Dean wanted #91 at GWS, but had trouble getting it allowed!

Is there any rule when it comes to numbering?

Low numbers are more traditional, but is there an actual rule preventing high numbers?

Give 4 to Banner. You know it makes sense.

I've never been personally bothered. As far as high numbers go, for some reason locally there was always interest in getting #44. I wanted #05 but they didn't make them so I had to settle for #16.

Can 100% confirm John Butcher in #35 next year. Confirmed from Butch himself. And that was 2 days after the Adelaide Oval game.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Numbers past 44 make you look insignificant.

 

[PatientMental]

Lol wat.

[Portia]

He should get a real sub-20 number

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Will be interesting to see what happens with Butch.

I can assure you he was going to take #35, if that has changed - who knows.

Shaun Rehn and Alan Jarrott says hi.

If he's keen on a high number he should have a run with Adelaide uni.

 

[Spadge]

I sent a tweet to Butch asking him the question about changing to 35. Told him I was hoping he would keep 32. He replied that it hasn't been decided yet.

Well Butch himself told me that Chad had offered him #35 and he accepted.

[Jose Cruzeiro]

If Butch changes he should move into the 7. That jumper has had a couple of duds in it recently and it deserves a bit more awesomeness.

That said though I actually like it when players keep their original numbers and make them their own. I mean there was nothing special about 35 until Chad got his hands on it, so Butch could do the same with 32 if he wants to keep it.

 

[PatientMental]

if we get davis he should get #7 handed to him by peter.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Webb is gunning for #24.

 

[Moore26]

Webb is gunning for #24.

Whys that?
He is a rookie...dont they usually only take late numbers 40 + etc?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I love seeing Butch in 32. It gives me hope that he will grow into a hard arse like Northa.

 

[Moore26]

Anyone got any idea when we will find out?
