Back to the Future

[Big Kev 361]

I followed Big Red Fire Engine's example last Thursday and purchased a jumper from the football club and got a number on the back.

Although I usually buy a polo shirt each year from the club this is the first time in many many years that I have purchased a jumper.

I love watching Aaron Davey, I marvel at Liam Jurrah, I reckon Jack Grimes and Cale Morton are absolute guns, as I think quite a few of the other kids we have drafted in the last few years will be, but I haven't thought of getting a jumper with their numbers on it. I haven't contemplated getting a number 4 for Jack Watts or a 9 even when Neita wore it or 5 or 3 for the Ox or Garry

When I finally decided to get one, it really was a no brainer which number it would be, I went back to the future and got the same number I wore as a kid, and the training jumper I wore when I coached Croydon U14s and 16s (same as Carlton jumper), Ron Barassi's famous 31.

May have something to do with the kid who is wearing that number now as well, I fell in love with the way Tom Scully plays his football when I saw him last year at Etihad in the U18s, nothing much has changed since and I would have been gutted if we had not drafted him.

Seriously considered sleeping in the number 16 long sleeve Dees guernsey last night. Is that wrong for a 35 year old male?

Not really

Not really

So wrong in so many ways!

A bit wrong. Probably 23 would be more appropriate. Just due to the age gap. Otherwise fine.

Couldn't hold off any longer - just ordered my number 8.

"Crackers" Keenan's old number!!!

Chip was wonderful last night- he and Warnock worked together like Lennon/McCartney last night.

Have been meaning to get around to putting a number on mine all year. Think it will have to be done this week. Will be a number 13 for me as it's always been my number, and by a happy coincidence I also happen to have a giant man crush on McKenzie.

I can't choose. I would be happy with about 12 different numbers, I've got so many favourite players at the moment.
