Ridiculously, one of my favourite times of the year - deciding who gets what. Heaps of free numbers this year, with a few more to potentially come, all to be fulfilled by new boys and a couple of current players who should be in the hunt for upgrades.

29 strongly underrated after uninspiring possession by Newton and probably everyone else since Hassa.

Shaun Smith maybe an exception, slim picking apart from that though according to demonwiki http://demonwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Number+29

Terlich might have earned a number upgrade if he wants one, Matt Jones too maybe, don't know about the rest. I like Howe in 38, would probably be the only other possible.

Save some of the good ones for (hopefully) a gun recruit.

I'm not fussed on numbers personally but Howe in 24 to honour robbo makes sense

I felt in the past schwab used numbers some what vindictively to dishonour past servants

We already tried Jurrah in 24, I think 38 is a great cult number for Howe.

Spencer, Jones, Fitzy and Terlich could all be upgraded. Would like to see Terlich take Junior's number.

I had his number on my jumper as a kid. Then it became smithy, which I wasn't terribly disappointed with

Not bad. I like Fitzy in 48 and Spence in 42 though.

 

[Tulip]

Would be keen to see Fitzy in 18, but it's not particularly important.

Hogan's already had #1 down for a year.

Was that his official number or did they just give him that for the nab cup?

It's his locker number, so unless he wants to change...

 

[Supermercado]

I don't want to see anybody change number. Take your number and make it your own - whatever it is. With respect to the thread (because I like discussing this stuff as much as the next internet weirdo) this should be the last thing we're thinking about at the moment. Here's to a great future of Dean Terlich wearing #46.

Yeah i know, there just wasn't any jumper presentation like they normally do

 

[youngbear]

Fitzy should stay in 48 for his whole career. Cult heroes need to wear ridiculously high numbers at all times... e.g. Shaun Rehn #52

 

[LeverPuller]

There's a joke to be made about giving players numbers based on their average possession count here somewhere. ..

We can't have everyone wearing 11, can we?

 

[fushy]

Fitz should get 3, his beard is like Garrys leg hair.

 

[CWaffles]

Fitz should get 3, his bread is like Garrys leg hair.

Hairy bread! Ewwww nothing worse

 

[fushy]

Lol my phone changed it from beard to bread.

Like Ablett jr had 29 didn't want to be n his old mans shadow. This also reminded me when Jeff Farmer changed to number 8. However according to demonwiki site it was a tribute to his uncle, so fair enough. Learn something new every day
