Now that Sylvia has gone, will Jack switch to his Dad's #12?

It would be good to see someone giving everything for the team in that number again.

Happy to see him make his own history with number 7.

I see Jack as the kind if kid to forge is own name in MFC history, stir up his old man saying "gee there seem's to be more kids wearing 7 now then 12 in your day Dad". I am so excited to see what this kid does next year. Release the bull in the china shop!

I can recall him saying something similar not long ago... Or am I imagining it?

I hate hearing commentators constantly comparing sons of players to their fathers. I hope Jack continues in the number 7 and give 12 to an upcoming exciting recruit (from trade or draft).

P.S Edit the thread to make a poll please.

Thank you Gorgoroth.

I remember that too, couldn't find a clip of it though.

If Cameron Schwab was still around you could bet your first born child on it happening.

He will likely have it offered to him in good faith (not persuaded), whether he chooses to accept it is the question.

Todd and Jack strike me as the kind of people that consider performance and output as the highest regard, not necessarily club history and tradition (don't take in a negative way). I can only guess that Todd will tell Jack to make his own path in his own number.

Either way I will be just happy watching Jack run around in the red and blue.

I hope Jack changes to number 1, we haven't had a great wear that jumper since Warnock.

You don't want to give Hoges a turn first?

Jack has the tools to be a better player than Todd was. I hope he chooses to create his own history, therefore improving the legacy rather than continuing it.

Keep number 7, son.

I remember a quote from when we first "signed" him when he was 16 and he was asked what number he'd want and he replied with 24 as he was going to be twice as good as his dad.

i voted no in that I don't THINK he will, but I would like it if he did.. bit of a traditionalist

He is his own man. #7 all the way

I'm the same as you C & B.

Why would he? He is number 7. That's HIS number.

Agreed Ignition,

Though CS probably wouldn't have cared as much as Todd wasn't from the 1950's but you know he would be busting at the seams to get Jack in Todd's number.

I don't think that will be an issue going forward. It seems like the club is now more interested in actually winning games now than celebrating what happened decades ago. And Jack is a fairly strong character.

Have Jack develop his own history in 7 and challenge a newcomer to live up to and outdo previous wearers of 12

2 hard at it ball getters challenging each other to make their mark in the club records.

I think there's been some pretty useful No7's as well

Darren Kowal was one of our great no.7's.

Brian Wilson......

Graeme Osborne.

Willo was the one I was thinking of

Not a bad standard to set

Put Frank Grimes back in number 16.
