Terry Daniher wore it! James Hird wears it! Who will don the Number 5 after this season?

I think they may retire the jumper for a year until they find somebody worthy of wearing it.

As long as he doesn't prove to be a Travis Varcoe type.
Maybe Reimers? I reckon he could ge real well in it. Also like to see Sloppy get it.
Whoeever does, it's a massive honour. I firmly believe jumpers shouldn't be retired, and I'd like to see it run around again on some talented youngster.

id love to see Jason Winderlich get it
Jim's jumper is way to valuable to give to anyone who hasn't earned the right to wear it.
No one, other than his maybe his sons (please please please), will be good enough to match him on and off the field but that doesn't mean we shouldn't reward someone who has earned the right to wear it through his gut busting efforts and dedication to the club.
We certainly have some young talent that could be worthy of wearing it later in their careers but not yet.
Terry was a fantastic player and one of my all time favourite Essendon players but his contribution to Essendon is not in the same league as Jim's.
Retire the jumper until one of our young players steps up and demands the jumper by his on field and off field efforts.
I hope in 2 years time that a young KPP player we currently have on our list could very well be the player who has earned the right to wear the famous No5.

Ryder or Gumbleton? I'd love Gumby to wear it, but he's already been given the 3 guernsey to make is own. But **** it would be awesome to see him in the number 5. That would be my dream.
I want Brent Stanton to have N.O 5

id like to see monfries or stanton in it. they would have to prove themself for a year first...
I think it quite possibly could go to our first pick this year gievn that Gumbleton was handed the no. 3.
It doesn't have to be given to the best player goign around, but a player that understands the significance of it to the club.

People were saying the same thing when it went from Daniher to Hird.

love that idea
But Jim had a family history at our club already and with all respect to TD, he wasn't in the same league as Jim
I wouldn't give it to someone who has established themselves in a number already like Rama and Stanton have. WInderlich has the 8 for the Bewick connection and Gumby has 3 which is a pretty special number at the club so I wouldn't consider them (though yes Gumby would look great in it).
I like the Reimers idea, or our first round pick. Nash perhaps ? I reckon his number suits him already though. Ryder maybe.

Year off, then maybe, MAYBE, Nash/Reimers/Buddah, one of the young boys. Hird himself will say "get someone in it a.s.a.p"
