Why take Grimes number off him?

They've already done that.

I think Nasher was making a point of the club giving him back his original number.

Love it Bingo what about 99?

I will donate $100 to the player who wears 99 for all of 2014

Is there any rule in regards to the highest number allowed. I was wondering why no-one has ever done this before. I would definitely pick 99 if I ever played and had the choice.

Also, I would offer JV 12 if he wants it, and hold off on 18 for Billy Stretch as well. They may not want, but I would always offer

As a matter of interest

As a matter of interest, have other father-sons (at other clubs) worn the same numbers. I know that Gary Ablett Jr and Jobe Watson are different. But can anyone recall any examples where they were the same? Seems like an added and unnecessary burden to saddle a player with their father's number. The inevitable comparisons make it hard enough already without adding to the weight of expectations.

Mathew Scarlett did, and also SOS Silvagni. I think you should always give the player the choice if available.
