I've posted this before, but i don't like the concept of reserving lower numbers for better players because of the message it implies for those players who are given the higher numbers. It's effectively saying, "We're not really that sure you'll make it, so we're putting you down the end with the other nqrs." I appreciate the argument that some players might be motivated by that insult and work harder to prove their value. But for every player that does that there might equally be not only another high-numbered player for whom it has the opposite effect but also the possibility that players granted low numbers who allow that to go to their head and don't work as hard as they should.

I would rather a more measured approach which might place a new player next to a player who might be good for their development. Preuss next to Gawn, for example. And it doesn't just have to be development in a skills sense. It might be trying to maximise their personal development. Hypothetically (because I don't know the players), it might be best for his development for Bedford to be next to Jetta in the locker room, so give him the vacant number 40.

I wonder when the MFC website will update the “Players” content.  I thought they would now add new recruits and draftees, and remove the retired/traded/delisted players. 

[old55 21,874]

Numbers must be allocated I think because players are training so lockers will be allocated.  Wonder when the announcement will be made?

These are my following suggestions;

 

#1  Pruess

#12 May

#16 Kolodjashnij

#21 Jordon

#23 Bedford

#27 Hore

#32 Sparrow (I think there is video footage of him wearing this jumper number at junior club level?)

#34 Neitschke

#43 Chandler

#46 Walker

#50 Bradtke (I like the idea of him wearing the number his Father wore in the NBL for the Melbourne Tigers)

I assume that the new numbers will be imminent.

I like the idea of May in number 1.

Reminds me of the days of 98 when Shanners was the full back. He will be always a Saint historically but I always had a soft spot for him.

For some reason, I have never liked number 1. 

Bit like 31 post RDB. 

Or 13. In the old days,  MFC did not use 13. 

So remove 1,31 and 13 please.

Numbers pretty predictable although 12 for young Toby is a big endorsement obviously think the young fella has some talent - hopefully turns out to be Wizard like

This bloke is a big get for us, not just for what he can and will do on the field, but also for what the opposition think he might do.

Agree Red. He plays hard at it and the opposition usually know the danger of getting in his way

[spirit of norm smith 13,636]

Corey Wagner to get 41 next to his bro 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,588]

Another Guy wearing 43.

[spirit of norm smith 13,636]

Jordan in 23 is the best.  Hope MJ gets to present his jumper.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,588]

Leaves 41 as the only unused playing No.

Please bring back Peter Rohde, best custodian of this number that I can recall.  41 is also 14 backwards.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,588]

Much has been made of Corey getting the locker next to brother Josh, but getting a locker next to brother Neville is a pretty good outcome as well.
