Given that even now the loss Collingwood supporters felt when Millane was killed is still palpable I reckon 42 stays retired for time immemorial as was intended.Yes, I think we should approach the Millane family and ask if we can use 42 as the top draftee number, that or 22 after Sidders retires.
22 was also the number given to a 16 year old wonder kid from Tasmania named John Greening , played 82 of the finest games , some of his play had to be seen to be believed, absolutely gifted footballer ,was denied the opportunity to further showcase his God given talents on a dark day on July 8th 1972 after been assaulted on the Moorabin oval by a thug. That prick O’Dea should have been jailed for thuggery .#42 could be the honorific guernsey, if we have to have one, which is debatable.
#22 has had too many other greats including Tony Shaw and Bob Rose
I agree.Given that even now the loss Collingwood supporters felt when Millane was killed is still palpable I reckon 42 stays retired for time immemorial as was intended.
I understand that some of the younger supporters don't really get the grief associated with the number, but they should just take to older supporters word.I agree.
Don’t see the point in being bringing it back.
Would be very strange seeing that number on the field again.
Absolute joy thinking about Millane. I always wanted his number to carry on but I am in the minority on that and happy to keep it retired if it upsets the majority. Personally, I couldn’t think of a higher honour then having it on my back which is why I want it back out there.I understand that some of the younger supporters don't really get the grief associated with the number, but they should just take to older supporters word.

I would think Darren’s family would view it as a great legacy to have the ‘42’ guernsey replace 35 for the 1st picked draftee each year, which is what I would love to see happen.One of our greatest. One on one, virtually impossible to beat.
Your passing gutted the club for nigh on a decade
All that said Dazzler...I think it's time we brought out your old number
Love to see it running around again reminding us all of you.
Agree and you tell the players if they’re the first picked they’d better bloody hang around!!I would think Darren’s family would view it as a great legacy to have the ‘42’ guernsey replace 35 for the 1st picked draftee each year, which is what I would love to see happen.
What an honour that would be in my opinion.
Some impressive surnames for a Queensland comp.
