No one one our current list, this honour should be kept for the next champion of our club. At the moment nobody on our list is that.

Give it to Brad Green, make him captain and permanent full forward.

Greeny has played nearly 200 games wearing 18, why would he want to change?

Neitz is a no fuss type, just give to a new recruit next year.

Our 2008 no 1 draft pick

Not until he earns it. This number should be earnt not just handed out.

Totally agree. Nothing should be given out easily in this club again. The next person to wear the no. 9 must earn it through respect and hard work.

its just a bloody number. Travis Varcoe from the Cats got given Gods number...so lets put it in perspective.

I mentioned this on another thread...as a mark of respect ..hang it up..retire it for a year.. Give it to someone in 2010

Yep and in 2010 give it to someone who respects it-Like Jonesy wears no. 2

My pick would be Valenti

I cannot see him having a high number for long

I see your point, but I don't think there would be too many Demon players not willing to take the great No.9 if they had the chance, considering how admired Neita is.

If not Greeny, then the number should be retired until someone truly deserves it in a couple of years time.

there maybe a young player who neita likes who he wants to have his number...

I actually do think football clubs care about numbers

Gary Ablett wasnt the only famous player to wear 5 at Geelong

Polly Farmer for example also wore 5

But your Varcoe example does make you wonder

I agree.

Mark Jamar...

Nicholas Natanui - #9

Yeah, give it to Nat or Rich or Hurley. No-one on the list demands the number.

Remove the #3 from Aussie's jumper

Chris Johnson

Remove the #3 from Aussie's jumper

He should keep the 39. Let kids get 39 put on their backs, let him make 39 his own so he can become a fan favourite like Davey kinda was.

In the spirit of this thread alone, the answer is simple, Jonathan Brown.

I don't think the number needs to be retired. Archer, Buckley and Hird all passed their numbers on straight away. Give it to a kid!

Gotta make it count.... DO we really want to see our club legends number sitting on the back of the next Stanton or Maxwell.....?

Or Firrito for that matter.

If there is somebody Neitz would like to see wear it then fine. Otherwise I don't think it is a big deal.

To be fair, North supporters love Firrito. Undersized full back who has a real dip.

I'd like to see them give it to a kid - have Neitz present the guernsey. Hopefully it would be pretty inspiring stuff.
