Prediction Hawthorn 2018 Number Allocations

[caseman2]

Let Mirra retain his No.1 guernsey from Box Hill.

This "For The Fans" crap has gone on for far too long.

If not Mirra then give it to someone, anyone. Just get it back in circulation.

Couldn't agree more re the number 1 jumper and bringing it back. If they want it for the "fans", they should run an online poll and nominate younger players who are in line for a jumper "upgrade" and let the fan's vote as to who wears it.

 

[Fluro Boots]

The Essendon Football Club should be awarded the number 36 for season 2018. Embrace the power we have at our disposal with the cursed number.

Awesome suggestion.

End of an era with Mitchel, Hodge, Lewis, Lake and Gibbo gone.

Time to rebrand and build the team around Roughy, Gunston, Mitchell, O'Meara and Sicily. New logo, new gameplan new coaching staff (keep Clarko) new/old president, CEO and Number 1 back to the playing group.

 

[MrPremiership]

Numbers to be announced at open training on 16 December

Paul Johnson 50

The best one game player Hawthorn has ever had. He even kicked the game winning goal in Round 24 2011.

Found it.

Adelaide just gave #19 to Edwards after 10 bullshit years with the fans.

 

[Holy Rioli]

I'd be happy for Willsmore to get 36. Not that I wish ill on the guy, just don't want a player who will be on the list in 2019 and beyond to carry that burden.

Hope this inspires us to do the same with #1

Willsmore won't change numbers at least for this year.

 

[stemline]

I've been saying all year, give Morrison number 1 - in honour of his god-father, the late Ken Judge who wore number 1 in the 1983 premiership. Perfect opportunity.

This number 1 for the fans stuff is utter rubbish.

I want Mirra in 27. Spangher was known as being a great clubman and I reckon Mirra has the same trait. This is a list of players who have worn 27 (from the Hawks website). Look at the words associated with the number: clubman, reliable, cult figure. Vickery should never have gotten 27.

Roy Simmonds (1950-1961, Played 192 games) A real cult figure, a terrific clubman who was famed within the confides of Glenferrie for his sociable nature. Versatile and courageous, he was particularly strong, very effective as a rover, centre man or the back pocket. Won the Best and Fairest 1956, Named in the Team of the Century, 2001 and Inducted into the Hall of Fame, 2013.

David Parkin (1961-1974, Games 211) an extremely dedicated footballer who embraced the Hawthorn work ethic. Reliability and courage were his trademarks. Named Captain, 1969-1973, he played many fine games from the back pocket. Captained the 1971 Premiership team, won the Best and Fairest in 1965 and was named a Club Legend in 2013.

Alle de Wolde (1975-1982, Games 97) A reliable back pocket specialist with a reputation of a valued clubman with his co-operative manner, always team first. Played in the 1978 Premiership team.

John Barker (1998-2006, Games 113) became a real cult figure with the Hawks fans, with his own personal cheer squad, the John Barker Wing with banners prominently displayed at all venues. Initially a key back-man but developed into a strong marking forward when asked to replace the injured Nick Holland. His two long match-winning goals will live forever in the memory Hawk fans who witnessed his two goals against Port Adelaide in the 2001 Semi Final.

Stephen Gilham (2006-2012, Games 98) followed coach Alastair Clarkson from Port Adelaide becoming a regular in defence where his reach and athleticism equipped him for a variety of roles. In 2008 he temporarily lost his place in the side but a pickup in form enabled him to regain his place and ultimately the Premiership.

Matt Spangher (2013-on, Games 23) was picked by Hawthorn as insurance for tall forwards defenders. Became a cult figure with the fans with his dark flowing hair and enthusiasm for the contest. Struck form mid 2014 and played a valued role in the 2014 Premiership team.

Ty Vickery 2017 Absolute spud who had a couple of cute cats.

Burto's/Hawthorn's instagram suggesting/teasing/speculating that Mirra gets Number 1?

Or maybe that was his Box Hill bag?

As a fan I am more than happy for Mirra to wear my number 1.

[Ned Ryerson]

Was going to say that's probably his Box Hill bag - but usually any Box Hill Hawks stuff has BOX HILL on top of the Hawks logo. Here's hoping the 1 is back!

 

[marklar]

As a fan I am more than happy for Mirra to wear my number 1.

I've sent an email off to the club about exactly that, I would encourage the rest of you to do so too.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

This is exiting!!!!

Also everyone please email them regarding number 36.
