4
11
13
18
32
36

and the players without numbers are:

Charlie Constable
Gary Ablett Jnr
Gryan Miers
Lachlan Fogarty
Stewart Crameri
Tim Kelly

4 - Lachlan Fogarty
11 - Gary Ablett
13 - Tim Kelly
18 - James Parsons
32 - Charlie Constable
34 - Gryan Miers
36 - Stewart Crameri

11 - Gary Ablett
13 - Tim Kelly
18 - James Parsons
32 - Charlie Constable

Poor Parsons

 

[CatTricks]

4 - Parsons
11 - Ablett
13 - Fogarty
18 - Kelly
32 - Constable
34 - Miers
36 - Craperi

My guess for the entire list is on a previous page.

If you continue your recent tradition of allocating the first draftee the number worn by the retiring player who played the most games, it would be

4: Fogarty
11: Ablett
13: Kelly
18: Miers
32: Constable
36: Crameri

 

[Deep]

4 - Parsons
11 - Ablett
13 - Fogarty
18 - Kelly
32 - Constable
34 - Miers
36 - Craperi

Craperi? He cost nothing in terms of salary or picks and you just insult him. You are a deadset flog mate.

4 Lachlan Fogarty
11 Godly Ablett Jr
13 Stewart Crameri
18 Charlie Constable
32 Tim Kelly
36 Gryan Miers

I don’t think that’s happened for a few years now.

I don’t think that’s happened for a few years now.

Literally happened last year with Parfitt in the 3 and Stewart in the 44.

If it happened last year shouldn't Parfitt be in 44 as Enright played more games than Bartel?

It's about the highest profile/weight of accomplishments instead of just raw games numbers I'm pretty sure.

Regardless my tips are

4. L. Fogarty
11. G. Ablett
13. T. Kelly
18. G Miers
32. C Constable
36. S Crameri

 

[Hamingja]

Well I always thought it was just draft order with the earlier player taken getting the lowest available number unless there was a player with a specific request for a certain available number e.g father son with same number as dad or if a retiring player wants to pass on a number to someone specific etc.

So if Ablett takes 11 it will make it:

4. Fogarty
11. Ablett
13. Kelly
18. Constable
32. Miers
36. Crameri

 

[BORIS332]

As someone’s already mentioned, Enright played more games than Bartel. I don’t think they’ve done this since 2013/14?

And of course it’s not weight of accomplishments. It would be a bit sensitive for the club to make judgements on that.

I'm sorry, I thought I was on an internet forum which users were allowed to express their opinion.

 

[Deep]

Calling him Craperi in this thread is trolling. If you want to call him that do it in the thread about him and give reasons as to why you think that instead

 

[BORIS332]

‘Craperi’ is less of an opinion and more of an insult. Just as you’re allowed to speak your mind, so is Deep by calling you out.

 

[BORIS332]

4 - Lachlan Fogarty (was #4 for VM and all stars)
11 - Gary Ablett (#11 for the falcons)
13 - Tim Kelly
18 - Gryan Miers
32 - Stewart Crameri
36 - Constable (was pick #36)

It looks like both Fogarty and Miers have an affinity for the #4 with both wearing it at the champs, and Miers wearing it for the Falcons too.

Can we keep the player name calling until at least their first game FFS..

If you dont like a player- fine - express that but explain why and keep the grade 1 jokes out of it for while at least...

Bloke does not even have a number yet FFS...

GO Catters

Well done to UnitedWarrior93 - the only one to pick No. 4 for GAJr

Not hard to do given he stated it after the announcement.

 

[AWOL]

Seeing Gaz in the number 4 that actually fits in training photos today looked good.
Didn’t know that I’d like it, but think it is a good fit.
