Not announced yet, but the photos from training have players in numbered training tops. I see Bruhn in 4, Bowes in 12 and O Henry in 41.
41- now that's an obscure number. Can anyone recall any previous significant # 41's? I doubt he keeps that, but who knows...

They also had jhye clark in 49 so i dont think those are the actual numbers they will get.

My spreadsheet hasn't been updated for a long time so you may be right.
 
Josh Hunt was #41 until he switched to #8
Yea I've missed a few in the other numbers column.

Just looking through Steve Hocking started in the 41 too.
 
Mumford holds the league record for most games in 41, playing 216 for Geelong, Sydney and GWS.
Geelong does well in the high guernsey numbers holding the league record for 39 (Milburn 292 games), 40 (Ian Nankervis 325), 44 (Enright 332), 45 (Ling 246), 46 (Blicavs 203).

Of our current high guernsey numbers, Close will play a lot of games in the 45 but probably won't run down Lings games number (its probably the only thing Close can't run down), same as Stewart with Enrights record. Hopefully those two equal the amount of Premierships won though.

O'Connor is our most successful 42, Henry is our most successful 38, Zuthrie going to have a hard time catching Milburn, and hopefully Sam Simpson comes good in the 37 and runs down his dads games played record.
