Opinion 2019 New Player Numbers

[zeeCFC]

Ben would be wise to take a high number. We'll nominate him and he'll come late. Maybe in time if he reaches the heights of his dad, he'll inherit it from Jack.

Closest I got was a like followed by an unlike for a minute I was God!

short-changed - you're supposed to get 15!

Cheeky little jab at Jack there.

Exactly what I was thinking...just didn’t want to say it.

 

[Masqualero]

Agree on 43! I’ve missed having a great 43 running around and clunking the ball.

Needs broad shoulders to fit those two big numbers on too

Hahaha it will be good to see that number on the top of packs!

 

[JrDr]

Pick 1 - 24
MM - 43
BSOS - 11 (Club has no self control)
Newman - 13
Setterfield - 18
Fasolo - 32
Pick 69 - 44

Will TSOS be the first 111 in AFL history?

 

[The Bighouse]

Setterfield 11
Fasolo 13 or banished to the 40’s
Newman 24
McGovern 43 (was his old man’s # at Freo)
Walsh 18 (seems like an even number fella)
BSOS 17

One more required, either a draftee, rookie or a DFA..#45?

I think we will keep a spot free for mid season rookie draft

 

[The Bighouse]

Is there a mid-season rookie draft as well, or do you reckon the SSP = pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP) between December 1 and March 15, after all the drafts are over?

Cheers, but still a WIP from the AFL administration without finalisation of a date? Just mid-season.
Though the SSP isn’t just for retired or injured players as Mummy & Z.Clarke are being included as list placements.

Am I missing something? Didn't father/son nominations close on Friday and there has been no word of us nominating Ben?

Won’t need to leave a spot open, based on previous years, almost guaranteed to have a wide selection to choose from for the LTI list.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

My guess so far:

11 - Settlefield
13 - McGovern
17 - Fasolo
18 - Walsh(?)
24 - Newman
32 - BOS(?)
37 - Owies
40 - Hickmott(?)

11. Doull to present
13. The Cranium ... or Eric Pascoe
17. God knows. Won't be Rowey I'm guessing. Setanta would be fun.
18. As per 17 but won't be Justin Murphy
24. What a calamity this number is. Hopefully Matty Allan accepts an invitation. Nick Stevens can get stuffed in whatever sewer he resides in right now.
32. Glascott or Thornton. Don't think Whitehead or Graham would be up for it.
37. Harmesy
40. Jamo

 

[Red Bull]

Walsh in 11
Could do with a topliner in the legends number for the next 10/15 years ...

 

[jj1978]

11 - BSOS (continues with the '1' tradition, Tom will be 111)
18 - Walsh
69 - Fasolo (would suit him)
17 - Setterfield
33 - McGovern (rotate the 3's 90 deg anti clockwise you get MM - Picket will relinquish the number to become 99 his current weight).
40 - Newman

 

[ferrisb]

It was covered in one of the other threads but the 'other' player number is also up for a milestone this year with our first debutant to be player no 1200 for the mighty Carlton Football Club! TDK was 1199....

So anyone who debuts in Round 1, subject to alphabetical order, will be 1200.. Fasolo v McGovern v Newman v Walsh.... or a smokey like Blakey

Reminds me of Michael Slater's test debut.

355 players had worn the baggy green before Slater debuted in the same test with Brendan Julian.

Aussies batted first, so Slater decided he had 'played' before Julian and must be #356.

He was so excited and proud that he got a #356 tattoo and ordered MS356 as his number plate on a new Ferrari.

Much later he found out it's done alphabetically, so Julian was actually 356 and he was 357. OOPS!

After checking with Julian, who wasn't fussed, the ACB eventually declared Slater #356 and Julian #357.




If I was Julian, I would have insisted on keeping #356 just to annoy Slats

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

A 3.5 month window to recruit players on an ad-hoc basis that occurs entirely in the off-season. First-time nominated players are ineligible.

Yep, let's call it the mid-season rookie draft.

Only in the AFL...

They’re actually calling it the Supplementary Selection Period.

The mid-season rookie draft will be held at some point during the 2019 season.

That’s brilliant, have not heard that and was a big slats fan.

I was told today BJ is worth half a billion after marrying well!
