I'll kick off proceedings.

With Corey Maynard retiring and Adam Tomlinson joining the club it's a no-brainer that he takes the vacant number 20 jumper.

Vacant Numbers:

6

20

36

38

43

45

47

Sam Frost (17) is on the trade table, Billy Stretch (15) & Jay Kennedy-Harris (24) have not yet re-signed for 2020.

    Harry Petty to potentially get an upgrade to Frosty's #17? 

    And if we keep Pick 3, perhaps they get #15 or #24?

    Considering he was 26 at Freo I think that fits nicely.

    wouldn't that mean he gets 2 jumpers - 20 & 6?

    Tomlinson should take 6. He is now old enough.

    So you don’t want him to be captain?

    How did you deduce that?  If you read my previous posts l have supported Gawny all the way for captain.

    Why should he give up the number 11 that Jimmy Stynes  wore ? Max has a personal attachment  to it.

    End of explanation.

    I don't think Max would give up Jimmy's No. if he was offered to be captain or be the best paid player in the league.

    Loyalty and honour still matter to some people - Big Max and Big Jimmy were cut from the same cloth when it comes to that and I will revere them always for it.

    I'd be thinking Pickett gets 36, close enough to Nev's locker but after a certain great former indigenous small forward in Flash. Would love to see Aaron present him with his guernsey!

    Hahah me too, I could think of nothing worse than trying to play in someone else's shadow.

     

    I grew up in the same town as a young man who was drafted to the Hawks last year by the name of Matthew Walker. Fantastic young indigenous man who has worked his [censored] off and sacrificed an enormous amount compared to other young men from the country and he was given Cyril Rioli's number 33.

    I've always felt that was the the biggest vote of confidence you can be given as a player, given the number of a newly retired champion, but you can't sense it comes with a certain amount of pressure?

    I guess at the end of the day every number has a history when your club goes back over 150 years, but I would certainly prefer to make my own number famous.

    Guess:

    6 for LJ

    24 for Pickett

    36 for Bennell

    I get what you're saying but he's a top 10 pick, pressure is going to be there whether he likes it or not and as you've said pick just about any number and there'll be history to it. I feel there are some guernsey numbers that have special association to the indigenous players we've had at the club and if nothing else it would be an absolute kicker to see Flash around the club again. (Although if Kozzie gets a first round call up his first game will be in Perth ?‍♂️)

    Besides Flash hasn't played for 7 years, it's not like it's super recent history unlike giving a player Cyril Rioli's number.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
