What number do we think Mccarthy will take? i can see him with 4 or 7.

 

[Del80659]

who was 31 was it Sal? I say he'll take that for no real reason other than I don't think he'll get a single digit straight away. But what do I know!

 

[Kickpuncher]

What im hoping for

Wingard - 4
Ebert - 7
McCarthy - 35
Renouf - 20
Blee - 31
Ah Chee - 24

DaButch - 42
Pfeiffer - 49

Danny Meyer was 31 last year.

Does anyone else think a bit like me and would like to see the players go through their whole career with a club with the same number ? I know it must be a thrill for a player to be assigned the number of a past champ, and I know some clubs haves different traditions, but...

I always remember when Justin Madden went to Carlton from Essendon, got given number 44, played 14 -15 seasons, won 3 B&Fs and never changed his number. Holds the record in that club for most appearances in #44. Tim Watson, Roo, etc much the same. But we seem to move our players around in the numbers game.

Not saying it's a bad thing, but wonder why sometimes. Is it really necessary, or just tradition. Please don't put me down for asking this, I just don't know the reasoning or history behind it, as many other clubs don't do it to the extent we do.

Anyway, I hope Trengove keeps number 12, as there has been some investment put in attire wise.

My predictions....

4 - Wingard (Wanganeen vibes)
7 - Ebert (family significance)
20 - Renouf (ruck connection)
24 - McCarthy (we gave him 24 hours notice before drafting him!)
31 - DaButch (next to big bro)
35 - Ah Chee (looks like he could be something special, happy to give him a champs number)
36 - Blee (defender from WA, just like the Grew)
41 - Pheiffer (needs a decent haircut, just like Dav did!)

 

[Schulzenfest]

4 - Wingard
7 - Ebert
20 - Renouf
24 - McCarthy
31 - DaButch
35 - Ah Chee
36 - Blee
41 - Pheiffer

Unless they decide to give Danny Butcher a 40's number due to him being a rookie, I agree with all of these.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Wingard is number 20. Cross that off.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

McCarthy is 35 I believe. Ah Chee may be the new Grace Of 41. Renouf at 4 would be a huge number for him to take.

 

[Spadge]

McCarthy is 35 I believe.

I really hope as it would mean Butch will keep 32

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I really hope as it would mean Butch will keep 32

Butch is definitely keeping 32 now. He was taking 35 but changed his mind.
