Player numbers

[PyroCrow]

Leroy will restore some pride in it

 

[Stiffy_18]

Hahaha!

I had a funny feeling that either Jenkins or Dowdell would be the type of guys to take on #4!

Anyone think that this is another suttle FU from Jenkins to Kurt?

I think its exactly that! Its saying, "I'm taking your number and going to be better than you!

 

[cmndstab]

The #4 guernsey needs a "you must be this tall to wear this guernsey" marker on it

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I think its exactly that! Its saying, "I'm taking your number and going to be better than you!

Apart from being a very promising player, Jenkins should get a game on personality alone. Tremendous FU to KT!

That's not just 1.2 less per game.. it's 3x fewer. That's not insignificant.

One looks like a footballer. One looks like Inspector Clousseau, bumbling around the field aimlessly.

Vader, I can tuck my jumper in ,, pull up my socks and look life a footballer

Facts are Tippett has won us **** all games of his own performance and his asking price does not match his output

We have dodged a bullet, Sydney will take a black eye on this one and Tippett will be labeled the most over rated player to have played AFL

The fact the Kurt holds the mantle as the highest ever paid player at our club leaves a shocking taste in my mouth, his performances simply didn't command the AFC salary and it most certainly doesn't command a future $1m per season salary

Personally what ever club he goes to I don't care as they will take the bullet and will have to deal with the ripple affect for many years

Tippett may be overrated and especially over paid, but that still doesn't mean he's not a bloody good player. He may not be a complete player like Walker, who will score 3+ goals a week, but he has some real weapons that if not kept in check can really hurt sides. You don't have a side who has won 2 premierships in the last 8 years offering you $1M a year if you're useless.

 

[AdelaideFan14]

Siggins to #20, Lyons to #21, Atkins to #31?

It's ex-girlfriend syndrome, coupled with the people who still hate him for 'stealing Walker's rightful spot' in 2011, because how dare a player who was better, and in better form be picked ahead of an incomplete player in shit form, he's the messiah damnit. You'll never convince them of how wrong they are.

Crow number four, saved by JJ! You can start to move on with your life.

Go back and track the history of my post

1. When Walker was dropped I supported the move as I thought he needed a kick in the ass
2. When it was rumored mid season that Kurt would accept slightly less than his current contract I supported signing him for $650k per year
3. Late in the year when it was reported that we offered Kurt $800k per year, it wasn't until this point I changed my view

I'm my opinion Kurt is not worth $800k per season and signing him may have cost us a young player down the track due to salary cap tension

Do you think Sydney would have offered what they gv if they didn't have the extra $900k to play with under their cap?

[PykeDream]

Good luck to Jenkins in the #4. Is becoming the big guy number like someone already said.

15, 20, 21, 30, 39, 41, 47 all remain available.

I'd gander

15 - McKernan
20 - Riley
21 - Callinan
30 - Graham
35 - Siggins
37 - Osborn
39 - Atkins
41 - Osborn
43 - Klaosen

My stab in the dark:
15 - Graham (the number Blighty's 'most pathetic ruckman' used to wear IIRC)
20 - Siggins
21 - redrafted Joyce (getting his old Eagles' teammate Knights number)
30 - Atkins
39 - McIntyre
41, 42 rookies

Think Nutta will stay in #37 at this stage of his career, and I'd expect Riley and Hendo will stay in #43 and #45 respectively.

How do you reckon that meeting wouldve gone.

JJ: I wanna swap my jumper number
Sando: Why?
JJ: I wanna be number 4 and say **** you to kurt
Sando: Your new locker is right there.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

I'm not sure I needed any more reason to love Leeroy. But if I did, this is it. Brilliant.

 

[Hank93]

Rory Atkins gets number 21.

This is gold. Hopefully it played out exactly like this.

Expect big JJ to stroll out on to Max Basheer debuting in the #4, holding his head or something stupid for the cameras like an absolute legend.

Is there a more appropriate player/new guernsey number combo ever? No.

 

[SugarShane]

The best thing JJ could do is just play well in the #4 and make us forget the KT saga. If anything, after his first goal for the season a subtle jumper kiss or grab (a la Brad Green below) would be sufficient to show he's OUR #4.

 

[WWSD]

Matty Wright is the new number 11.

Sorry to intrude guys... I just wanted to say that I wish Matthew Wright all the best in jumper number 11 which was previously worn by Michael Doughty. How good has Wright first two seasons of footy been?! He is a gun! Hard to believe he was drafted in the Rookie Draft. What bargain pick up!

 

[benji2]

Rory Atkins gets number 21.

View attachment 7603

Hoping he can make some history in it and be the first one to get his name on that locker permanently.

Off topic but... I may be mistaken, but I reckon that pic of Green was from his last game.

He wasn't so up and about while being chaired off to our song...

(FYI - I particularly don't like Melbourne)

 

[benji2]

Further to my previous post, I wonder if there are any other 'blank lockers' in the Adelaide changeroom other than #21, and probably most of the 40s? #1 or #2 perhaps? Did Anderson or Jars get to 100 games?

If I was ever good enough to have been given a Crows locker (I wish!) and saw that locker was blank I'd make it a mission to get my name on it.
