Richmond Jumper Number Changes for 2016

[UpTheGuts]

OK, I've been waiting for a while to do this, but with today's delistings, I reckon it's time.

More noteworthy vacant numbers and my suggestions:

1 C Ellis (big & early call, I know, and he looks good in 32, and I suspect they'll leave it vacant for a year, but he screams single digit, left footer and I reckon it'd be great to see)
7 Lennon (it's not THAT famous a number, so I'm OK him taking it)
13 Yarran
15 Elton (I'm going to assume McIntosh stays with a pretty classy number in 33). If not, Moore/ DFA
17 I guess they leave this vacant, but it's a shame not to see such a famous number and I'd support Vlastuin wearing it
19 Hunt (wore 19 at Geelong)
21 Townsend (Tucky's old number, which seems to suit, though JT might have some affection for the 31 he wore at GWS, which would become available if Flossy takes 17)
22 Menadue (been a number given to a quick, largely outside runner for a while - Bower, N Gordon, Biddiscombe, Rowlings, Danny Meyer!)
23 Lambert (wore this at Willy)
28 Castagna (if Hunt changes)
31 Our first pick (if available, 32 if Ellis moves, 33 if McIntosh changes... etc)
35 Second pick
41 Leave vacant
44 Soldo

Miles I presume sticks with 26, but if he was open to a move he'd almost have a pick of the board.

Get to it!

 

[Rustof]

I'd go...

7. C.Ellis
17. Vlastuin

The rest I'm not fussed on.

 

[johnno77]

I would love to see C Ellis in 33 if K Mac wants a lower number.

 

[Stylo]

Oi! I made this thread about a month ago. Get in line!

Knowing more now than we did then, however... I'd go:

1 - McBean (matches him)
7 - C Ellis
13 - Yarran
15 - Lennon
19 - McKenzie
21 - Townsend
22 - Menadue
23 - Lambert

 

[_RT_]

7. Vlastuin
13. Yarran
15. McIntosh
19. Lambert
21. Townsend
22. C.Ellis
23. Moore - If we take him

31, 32 & 33 for our new draftees.

Nobody else deserves a lower number as they need to be earned not just handed out because they are free.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Yeah, I know they're not gifted, but Elton did just sign on for another 2 years which will make it 5 with us.
I think it's a tad unfair to have him in Cam Howat's old number for that long

Sorry, Stylo - must've missed it!

 

[Concatenate]

Wonder how many players want to actually change numbers just for the sake of getting a lower one - would imagine 29 and 30 would never request to go lower - also 33 holds special memories in recent history

 

[Bojangles17]

would love to see ellis in No 7 ,
Yazza in No 1 for me , not big on same number , as it didn't bring much joy , so new beginnings ,
Lambert, 23
Lennon in no 21
Elton 22
Costagna 19
leave Hunt in 28, he did alright

 

[Stylo]

All good, it was a bit of a flop, my timing was putrid.

 

[captain cotch 9]

1: Vlaustin
7: C.Ellis
15: Lennon

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Lennon and the number 7 just feels right.

 

[Bojangles17]

Lennon and the number 7 just feels right.

Ellis I reckon has 7 , I can see him in that

 

[Tigerbob]

C Ellis in the number 7 is a match made in heaven in my opinion.

Townsend to the number 23.

Yarran and number 1 for mine. Get away from the Carlton filth as much as possible.

Lennon in the number 13

McBean to number 19 in between Griff and Rance.

Vlas in the number 17 is fine by me.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

I really want to see 17 back in action. We tried the whole captain in it thing and it ran its race. It was a shame to see Campbell in anything but 9 and I'm glad Cotch put an end to it.

So let's get it back out there. As all have said Vlastuin the best fit IMO. Just not sure he wants to change. Seem to remember something about him being happy in 31

As for the others

C.Ellis in 7

Lennon in 15

Menadue in 22

Townsend in 21

Yarran in 13

McBean in 19

Lambert in 23

And I reckon Miles would go alright in 1

McIntosh to keep 33

 

[JR82]

Lennon and the number 7 just feels right.

N.Brown's old # too

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Lennon and the number 7 just feels right.

Could actually see Yarran in 7 aswell

 

[bananatigz]

7- C.Ellis
13- Yarran
15- Lennon
17- Vlastuin
19- McBean
21- Townsend
22- Menadue
23- Lambert
31/33- Draftees
35- Elton

Miles and Kmac keep their numbers as I think they suit them but they would be up for a change as well if they wanted one

 

[Bojangles17]

C Ellis in the number 7 is a match made in heaven in my opinion.

Townsend to the number 23.

Yarran and number 1 for mine. Get away from the Carlton filth as much as possible.

Lennon in the number 13

McBean to number 19 in between Griff and Rance.

Vlas in the number 17 is fine by me.

Agreed 100%

 

[Bojangles17]

7- C.Ellis
13- Yarran
15- Lennon
17- Vlastuin
19- McBean
21- Townsend
22- Menadue
23- Lambert
31/33- Draftees
35- Elton

Miles and Kmac keep their numbers as I think they suit them but they would be up for a change as well if they wanted one

Menadue doesn't warrant a new number yet, Elton should get a little lower than 35

 

[Stylo]

Just thought, I wonder how Cutty is holding up right now? Maybe time for a new series... C. Ellis, 007

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

19 for Yarran

 

[GoTigers2015]

In: Yarran, Townsend
Out: Newman, Dea, Petterd, Knights, Thomas, Gordon, McDonnagh, Foley, Arnot

34 Senior players (4-6 spaces available) 3 Cat A rookies and 1 Cat B rookie
The club tends not to use all spaces on the senior list. Therefore would anticipate the following:

• Lambert to be elevated
• Pick 1 DFA
• 3 picks in the national (contingency for a fourth)
• 3 rookie picks.

Number changes
1 Vlastuin
7 Lennon
13 Yaz
15 C Ellis
19 McBean
21 Lambert
22 Menadue
23 Townsend
32 Elton
34 DFA
35 pick 1
36 pick 2
37 pick 3
43 rookie 1
44 rookie 2
48 rookie 3

 

[TiggerDK]

My Carlton "mate" thinks Yarran could be as good as Andrew McLeod, so maybe 23?
I think he's an arsebat until he proves himself in Tiger stripes...

 

[THE_GUN]

#1 - Lennon
#7 - Cellis
#13 - Yarran
#17 - Vlastuin

 

[NaturalDisaster]

am I the only one who doesn't give two shits about the number?

Just a number and players are more than just a number.
