Prediction So who is worthy of the number 5.

[Lethal44]

My prediction is they'll retire it for twelve month's, then hand it over to James Langford, thoughts.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Cyril Rioli
Jarryd Roughead.
Luke Hodge.

Wait a couple of years

 

[Sirlemsip]

If Burton wants it then give it to him.
If Shiels wants to change number he deserves it too.

Other than the two of them, nobody on our list is worthy right now.

I don't think it should be given straight to JOM, and having another Mitchell in it straight away would just be confusing.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Yeh lets s**t on more traditions and sentiments at our club. It's just business. How about we choose the player that is likely to increase merch sales the most.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

No one

 

[JeddaB]

Will probably go to Smith Mitchell

 

[Newt Hoenikker]

My understanding is that the Crimmins family is involved in selecting who will wear number 5. I don't see why that process should change.

 

[Jaeger]

Hard to answer who's worthy, but Sammy did a lot of work with Howe and Lovell.

We could just give it to a known quality player like Tom Mitchell, or O'Meara (assuming we land him)

 

[Gralin]

Whoever the Crimmins say, whether that be for next year or later

 

[onthemoney]

I hope it has a year off at least.

Jäger in 1, T Mitchell in 10 if he wants his Dad's old number albeit at a different club.

 

[Hawk_francais]

Tim O'Brien

 

[SSSSSS]

I reckon retire it for 12 months and make a young kid earn it.

That or let the Crimmins decide.

 

[WWSD]

Give it to Kieran Lovell

 

[Max Powers]

Give it to Kieran Lovell

Would like to see Lovell wear it too, but the choice is up to the Crimmins' in the end so see what happens i guess.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

If we keep Woodward on the list I think he could be a contender.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

They gave no 23 to TOB so why not give the no 5 to Jon O Rourke.

 

[Hawkthorn33]

Will probably go to Smith Mitchell

What if Sammy ends up playing another 100 games at the Weagels

 

[Ned Ryerson]

They gave no 23 to TOB so why not give the no 5 to Jon O Rourke.

Oh please, the 23 doesn't have the same relevance as the 5.

 

[Todman]

Lovell will get 10 , he is indigenous.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

What if Sammy ends up playing another 100 games at the Weagels

That won't happen.

 

[JeddaB]

What if Sammy ends up playing another 100 games at the Weagels

Sam will only play 1 year at the Eagles.

Mind you that will be enough for the following;
Brownlow #2
AA
WCE B&F
WCE Team of the Century

But not F&S for them.

 

[Faithful Hawk]

Oh please, the 23 doesn't have the same relevance as the 5.

Sorry obviously Buddy, Dermie and Don Scott were all nobodies??

 

[Gralin]

Sorry obviously Buddy, Dermie and Don Scott were all nobodies??

No but the Crimmins family have a say (maybe final say) in who wears #5
Our B&F is named after Crimmo and that gives #5 a different significance at our club

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

The only person I see deserving of the number 5 is Roughead if he fights his way back.

But I will leave this to the Crimmins family to decide.

 

[spudmaster]

Probably not much point in speculating in case Clarko hasn't yet finished turfing players out.
