Although I would love to see Jonesy present the No. 2 to someone next year….that’d be pretty cool

Yep just not with us…

Harrison Petty. Dunno why. I like the idea of a big bloke in #2, it’s been smaller players my whole life.

On that note it’s weird to think, I’m nearly 40 and there’s only been four #2s in my life and only three I can actually remember - Tingay, Armstrong and Jones, and Flower who I never saw play.

Not in favour of retiring numbers.

The last premiership player that wore number 2 for the Dees was Alan Rowarth I think…played 70 games for us between ‘58 - ‘63

I am well aware why players get attached to their number or would like certain numbers but that is where it ends for me.

I simply have no interest in who  gets which or why. We just won the premiership what number a player was wearing means close to zero to me. But enjoy the topic guys and girls.

Or Stephen Tingay for me. Three great no. 2’s of my lifetime. 

Stinga was an all time favourite of mine. Pre truck, Gawn an Oliver.

I think the number has to be rested for a bit until we are absolutely sure the next player to wear it is a gun.

Maybe Laurie might but let him play some proper VFL first and earn it.

 

Give it to Rivers or Sparrow

If i just won a Premiership i wouldn’t want to change my number. 
stick with it

Ben Brown to shave off the locks and go around in #2 next year, just to complete his transformation

Put it straight back into the rotation. The longer it's semi-retired, the more pressure it puts on the next holder to "live up to the number 2". No-one who saw Robbie or Nathan will forget its significance, no matter who ends up with it.

Agree.

I can't stand it when players "move up" in the numbers as if moving from 42 to 27 is some sort of promotion.

I'm firmly of the view that you show up to the club, you're given a number, and that's your number. Make it yours.

Our first draft pick can be given number 2, with no fuss, and we move on.

Sparrow has done #32 proud and I am sure Vagg would agree.

Barry Vagg was a great player.

Stinger also played a couple of years in No.15 as has our current man in 15, #positivelingers

Think Ed would be a very worthy recipient of No.2 and that it has a good history of being worn by wingers.

You can see from his draft tapes Sparrow wore 32 for both SA and South Adelaide before getting it at MFC. I reckon he already has an attachment to it

Give it to Bowey. The number 2 has seen too many losses. Let it be the changing of the guard. 

Should be retired in my view. Much like 31 and 11 when Max retires

Number 2 has earned that prestige with Flower and Jones 

You don't retire the number 2.

Troy's number 20 was put away for a few years which I was happy with.

Jacko if he wants it

I actually chatted to a mate about this today, i'd like to see the number go to a player who shows the Nathan Jones Heart, Loyalty and courage. 

So i'd like to see Angus Brayshaw run out in the number 2, his selfless season, and performance in the Grand final make him worthy of 2

Agree that he's worthy but hes currently locker mates with Gawny, don't think he'd want to change that to Mayzie and Salem. 

Don't mind the idea of Rivers. Keep the backline together.

Give it to the next recruit that's grown up barracking for Melbourne.

But would you want a new number after having won the Premiership? (The Premiership. Still can’t quite believe it.) Wouldn’t you want to retain the number you were wearing while you won THE PREMIERSHIP? ❤️💙

Remember when Jeff Farmer changed to number 3?

He went back to 33

Give the Number 2 to Luke Dunstan 

Keep the Premiership Numbers as they are
