The number 35

[pablo disco bar]

I know been spoken about before .!! However it's time to give the 35 to a gun player!!

Should of stayed with fasolo and then handed stephenson .

It's a great shame we don't see this number In the seniors regularly.

This year Rantall may play 1 or 2 games then it once again gets handed to a fresh rookie.

Tarnished the number.

Eddie end it

When it gets handed to Nick daicos it should stay with him.

*cough* Nick Daicos next year. He'll be our first pick, then they can offer it to him full time.

 

[Markfs]

we need a certain starter for the next 200 games......trey

 

[gouki88]

Yeah, should be Nick Daicos' number. He'll get it on arrival, and he should have it stick. Josh Daicos in Gavin Brown's old number and Nick in Peter's old number would be quite cool.

Nick Daicos will take 35 at the end of next year. Thread unnecessary.

 

[JC83]

Seeing the number keep getting passed on kid to kid is annoying. Hopefully they give Nick the choice to keep it.

Been saying this since they started this dumb tradition, it doesn’t celebrate the number at all it tarnishes it. One year per player, it gets handed around to new players with no thought to how many actual games they’d play or if they actually deserve 35 plus you’ll never see kids with 35 on their jumper for obvious reasons. Forgot the great names on the locker, nope not anymore.
Presti wasn’t fit and didn’t play the GF, he pulled out. All props to him for doing that, perhaps Reidy should have done that in 2011 but I digress. It was a noble thing but Eddie again has his favourites and wanted to show off his power.
While we’re at it 42 should be in play too. Millane was a very good player but we’ve retired a players jumper because he died while driving drunk, luckily no one else was involved. So bring back 42 and give Nick Daicos 35 for good if he wants it or just bring it back into rotation.

Stupid meaningless tradition. Proper traditions just happen organically and arent just manufactured in a board room. As others have said, give it to Nick Daicos for keeps if he wants it. Otherwise put it back into circulation.....for the best wog on the list!

As for 42, that needs the Millane family's approval, at least while Mrs Millane is alive. After that, put it back into circulation..for the meanest dude on the list!!!

 

[Jen2310]

Wasn't it offered to Josh and he declined? I feel like someone mentioned that. So they are willing to offer it to a Daicos.

 

[legendstatus]

This’ll be the first year that number 35 was missing in a Collingwood season!

Agree with all of this. 35 to Nick and 42 off the shelf.

 

[AndrewShawble]

Agree, moving 35 around has started to diminish it in a way - you have seasons like this and we don’t even get to see it run around.

The sentiment is great, but give it to a player that can carry on and grow the legacy.

First year since 2017 (when McLarty didn't play a senior game)!

1979-1993 - Daicos
1994-1995 - not used
1996-2010 - Prestigiacomo
2011 - Fasolo
2012 - Elliott
2013 - Grundy
2014 - no games for Scharenberg
2015 - De Goey
2016 - no games for Sier
2017 - no games for McLarty
2018 - Stephenson
2019 - Quaynor
2020 - no games yet for Rantall

If Rantall doesn't manage a senior game this year that will make 4 out of the last 7 seasons where the famous number hasn't been seen at senior level. It's definitely time to scrap this silly idea!

Eddie....the ideas man

as in no f’n idea.

I think it’s time to allow someone the opportunity to make it their own, to me it will always be borrowed from Daicos senior but at let someone try. Nick Daicos seems likely or even Josh but I think he’s already past on it.

love the fact Moore is wearing his Dads number

 

[Horaceg]

Agree with all of this. 35 to Nick and 42 off the shelf.

I’m comfortable when Pants“ Mum says OK.

Agree Nick should take 35, embrace it.

 

[jackcass]

Yeah, should be Nick Daicos' number. He'll get it on arrival, and he should have it stick. Josh Daicos in Gavin Brown's old number and Nick in Peter's old number would be quite cool.

Be interesting to see if he'll actually want it. Whatever he decides might decide how the number is handled moving forward. Certainly doesn't hold the same value if he decides he doesn't want it and it then goes to the 2nd player drafted (assuming off course that Nick goes as high as predicted). Hopefully he will want it and will then retain it. I'd like to see it running around in the seniors week to week. Ditto 42. Be nice if the Millane's relented and allowed it to be used again, even if they reserve the right to nominate who wears it. A guy like Maynard would be a perfect fit (if he was interested).

Clearly no one likes this bullshit

Bloody change it Collingwood

Pointless

Yes it was but I think because it was the number worn by Daicos people forget that it was actually elevated to this current process because of the sacrifice made by Presti in 2010. May not have ever came to be if we'd lost that 2010 GF.
