Prediction Which number will the new recruits wear in 2017?

[Matty411]

With clubs already designating guernsey numbers for their recruits, I thought we could speculate until we drop ours.

C. Marchbank: #22 (right next to Weiters, where he'll be for the next decade)
J. Pickett: #33 (Carlton's Cyril, yes please)
R. Palmer: #24
B. Smedts: #16
S. Petrevski-Seton: #5
Z. Fisher: #26
H. Macreadie: #29
C. Polson: #44
T. Williamson: #31
P. Kerr: #25
K. Lebois: #40
A. Silvagni# 36

Exisiting player changes
J. Silvagni: #2 > #1 and retire #40 for 2017

OP Edited based on recent observations.

 

[HARKER]

Jack Silvagni may be getting the #1.

 

[bluemahogany]

Yeah I'd like Jack to get #1, Ben wont be here until the 2018 draft and you wouldn't leave #1 vacant for 2 years. Surely you wouldn't give #1 to someone else with 2 Silvagnis on the list.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Jack Silvagni may be getting the #1.

If this happens..

Palmer: #22 (apparently its the number he wore for East Fremantle)
Smedts: #2 (number worn at the Cats)
Marchbank: #29 (something a little Simon Beaumont about him?)
Pickett: #100 (time for some triple digit numbers! Also below)

Pick 5: #5 (i'll go with Matty411 on this one)
Pick 25: #44

 

[bluemahogany]

Don't think we'd give #2 to Smedts

 

[Cripps Nubake]

We are saving #5 for Fyfe the following year

No way Smedts to be given #2.

Also what's to say that Jack will give it up.

Stick a 4 in front of it.

42, ghost of Zach Tuohy.

 

[luke livingston seagull]

I'd give Bryce Gibbs #4. South Australian lad. Just makes sense.

Vinnie Catoggio's number? Can he live up to it?

I never said they were good predictions.

Well if the training tops are any guide, it's:

1 - SOS
16 - Smedts
22 - Marchbank
24 - Palmer
33 - Pickett

 

[LordLucifer]

Who cares ??

Tell then pull a number out of a hat, that will do.

They probably ask them, and some give a s**t?

Tell them to worry about getting the cod first and foremost, the number on their back is somewhat irrelevant.

There's AFL requirements and merchandising logistics to consider.

Moot point anyway, as they've already got numbers.

 

[Jabba73]

Thought we wanted to treat them like family, not numbers.

Thanks for the heads up.

Numbers gets treated plenty good..................considering..............

In a bad mood TS?

#1 for Jack & save #2 for Ben. 1st & 2nd to join CFC.

 

[wally funk]

I'd be surprised if Jack switches from #2 to #1. Just seems kind of unnecessary. Happy to save #1 for another Silvagni.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Yeah I was going to post this. I was looking at the training pics yesterday, and the little numbers on the training tops have usually been a good preview in the past as to who's getting what.

I actually thought Jack looked pretty good in the number 2, but I expect he'll look even better in the number 1!
For the record, I can't call him SOS - there's only one SOS and that's his dad. Jack needs his own nickname - he needs something of his own!

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Prepare to be surprised. Can't see why he would wear #1 on his training top if he plans on sticking with #2.

 

[Manchego Cheese]

We are saving #5 for Fyfe the following year

If he joins surely Fyfe will get #7, no matter Buckley's status on the list.
