Possible #'s for Draftee's?

[DizzyHB]

Just did a quick look and it seems the following numbers are available for next season:

1
2
7
9
13
21
24
27
36
42
44
49
50

Some decent numbers there. Which players will end up with which number?

It was reported Morabito will probably be receiving the #24 which I don't mind.

Given that in the last few years we've been passing numbers down to our new players (10 to Palmer, 8 to Suban, 32 to Hill, etc) I'd like to see some tradition brought back to the #7. Number of our first ever captain and considering Ben Allen now has an important role in the off-field running of the club I'd like to see him to present the #7 to one of our young guys like he did to Heath Black so many years ago.

Nobody is allowed to wear #1. IT IS CURSED.

 

[Clay Davis]

Time for them to get their own threads in the player forum, methinks.

 

[The Night Shift]

Jeepers Creepers.. I saw the thread title and I thought you were talking about our new draftees already have fracture injuries...

# = fracture...

pheww..

 

[Bradesmaen]

How many of us are doctors though?

#24 for Mora according to Hackdorn

 

[newlander77]

There was some curly headed kid bouncing about in #7 at training today & I know Crichton isn't in town until Sunday at the soonest so I'm not sure who it was.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

1 - Cursed. Not to be assigned until after exorcism.
2 - Crichton
7 - Fyfe
9 - Retired for this year - the remnants of Matt Carr and Drum need to be aired out.
13 - Not Assigned
21 - McPhee
24 - Morabito
27 - Houghton
36 - Roberton
42 - Bollenhagen
44 - Rookie?
49 - Rookie?
50 - Rookie? (Would like to see it assigned, the comp needs more #50's!)

My guesses.

Mora will be 24 which I think is basically a foregone conclusion. I'd expect Fyfe to wear 36 as it was his number for Claremont also. Houghton wore 28 for Perth which is unavailable so I'm not sure what he will end up with.

Of the non-west Aussies Roberton I think wore 40 which is also unavailable so not sure what he will end up with. Crichton wore 14 for Tassie and Bollenhagen wore 10 which are both taken as well.

I would like to see Crichton take over the number 7 after Ben Allen (due to his hair and endeavour mainly), Bollenhagen take over the 21 due to his left boot, Roberton wear 9 as he will hopefully be a huge upgrade on Drum who we got the pick for and Houghton 27 as he only has to move over 1 locker when Murphy leaves and he takes the 28...

What's with Morabito and 24? Anyone know?

 

[legitimatic]

It was his number for the WA team and I tihnk possibly Peel also?

 

[Bradesmaen]

16 was his Peel number. Give him 13, Legends have that number (was mine)

I know you don't like Mora mate but that's a little harsh

Look for Hayden Ballantyne in the #1 next year

I realise he's from the country, but surely even Balla's isn't that stupid.

 

[thedog]

Trust me, as being very good mates with fyfey he will try as hard as he can to wear number 9. its his favourite

He's from Baldivis/Rockingham... We is bright and shit from these parts...

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Which would mean McPhee could take his old 17 back.

Broughton would get a new number you'd think.

 

[DizzyHB]

I dunno, a lot of players we've upgraded from the rookie list have kept their original numbers.

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

ive never understood players changing numbers. personally if i was a dockers player, you could give me number 82 and id still want to keep it.

 

[Wizard]

Whoever gets the #9 becomes an instant favourite in my books.

why is that? matt carr fan?

 

[Wizard]

TBH my love for the number 9 started with Ben Cousins.
One of them lucky number things i guess, i always seem to win when i bet on the 9 etc.

I got a roman numeral 9 (IX) tatooed on my arm such is my love for the number.
