Jumper Numbers 2020

[Demonland 66,629]

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.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,668]

I'd say Tomlinsn to stick with number 20?

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,668]

And Langdon to take 6.

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

[Wiseblood 24,636]

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

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

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

[Gunna’s 1,927]

Max Gawn to change to no. 2 jumper......

1 + 1  =   11      You can't count.

[dl4e 5,673]

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.

[DubDee 21,462]

Guess:

6 for LJ

24 for Pickett

36 for Bennell

[JakovichScissorKick 771]

33 for Pickett if it isnt taken

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.
