Hand No 8 jumper to Polak

[Bojangles17]

]Turning ahead to handing out jumpers for next year, like to see Polly in the No 8 , made famous by Disco Roach

and Foley, Whitey and Howatt...take up 6, 10 & 18.....I don't like seeing youngsters running around with such heavy numbers on their back..

Get lost.

He can earn his way to getting a good number.

I believe in putting a bit of pressure on the lad..let him know the faith we've invested in him....he's old enough now..

 

[meownotroar]

Give him Royce Vardys old number. History has a way of repeating itself

 

[Calcium Man]

I like it, he will look at his locker and see just what we gave up for him

 

[LVAK]

Don't think we need to any further links between Polak and any kind of 'Disco'

Vardy's number used to be Scotty Turner's wasn't it? Let's bring the 'punch in the back of the head' number back to it's former glory

No thats Foleys number, and Foley said he didnt want to change.

 

[Limbach_19]

Give him number 10.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

I think players that rightly have earnt a lower number deserve that then a new recruit should get priority, dont you?

 

[mini_me316]

Give him number 10.

No.10 would suit him well.

Did dud roach earn his way to earn his fathers number i think not? so that being the case we should give Polak the number he wants.

Who cares about numbers. One year I wore No 1 and I was crap and the next I got No 42 and was still crap.

So over all then your crap!

Put it this way TT. Skills wise I was an Aker but when it came to getting in there and getting it, I was a Fiora.

So you are as good as the number 3 pick then ... Unless you were more like say a David Bourke(thin, not much there and no talent)

Fiora - AFL Rising Star nominee 2001 how the heck did he get that lol

 

[Heisenberg_]

who cares about if he gets a high or low number, if he got number 8 or 48 is it going to have an effect on his ability and how much he puts in?

 

[IDGAF]

Give him Greg Strauchans 19

Very similar heads and haircuts

 

[1980GFVideo]

I dont even want to think of the duds that must have worn number eight since late eighties.

I think i blocked the names out as I used to wear it as a kid.

We had a Strauchnie once.

Did the job, but he stood out a bit in that side.

Bloody slow. I used to grimace watching him on a fast leading player like Ditchburn.

Must have been our least talented player in those days but good memories all the same.

mark merenda got no 8 after one good year from memory. i think he was 28 before....and moore wore it after him (28 that is)?

 

[Darth_Tiger]

you are all off the mark. he needs to be given number 10. sheedy's number. then sheeds (who iirc always comes to the club to present his numbered gurnsey) will present the jumper to polak. poetic justice as a reminder to sheeds that he failed to stop us from getting him. suck on that kevin!

 

[ozserpico66]

Give him #6 so he can have a locker next to Troy Simmonds. This will show him every day that if you are committed and get your head right that you can leave Freo and resurrect your career at Tigerland...

 

[Tigeronprowl]

Give him Campbell's old number 9.
