Interesting that 17 is free again & no one taken the 44 from Long.
Keeping it open for Tim English?

Gee. The Fresh Prince can't complain about that jumper number!
In the main, I'm not overly precious about jumper numbers. A player can make it their own, whatever.
But I don't really get following the song and dance around the legacy #9 with the handing over of Hurn's #25 to Matt Flynn.
They spent a year on Hurn hagiography and now a second string ruck is wearing it. He may become a gun, but it feels like we're devaluing it.

9 has always been our marquee player - Cuz, NN and now Harley hence the song and dance.
Bunga, whilst being a champion of the game and our club, was blue collar, workman like and maybe thats what we see Flynn as. No fuss type of operator, come in and get the job done.

Okay not always. The last 25 years, when Cuz took it over in 1998.

I am sure 'Like a cork in the ocean", would strongly agree with you Miguel.
A 117 games, 84 goal, dual Premiership player for West Coast, hardly a shabby achievement.
Plus "Chisel Chin" was a player, who was harder than a cat's head, and as ferocious as a feral moggie.

Not doubting Pistol Pete wasn't a genuinely good player, even if my age didn't allow me to watch much of him.
But in terms of being the most marketable player on our list. Well Cuzzy and Nic were both exactly that from the moment they walked in to the moment they left and Harley rightfully takes this mantle.

Oh I agree with your comments a completely different level of marketability and $$$$$$$ potential to the Club.
All three on the top tier of a marketing departments dream.
Wilson being such an unusual and intense player, who channeled his aggression on field for the betterment of the team, he did have a bit of a cult following .... mad as a half cut snake was a fired up Wilson.
If there was an all in brawl, anywhere on the ground, Wilson would sprint to get involved and he was a heavy hitter, between him and Worsfold they kept the first flying in the brawl.
#3 is a huge number for us too, with only Mainwaring, Judd & Gaff wearing it in history.
Each had great careers with us, but also some pretty sad events attached to each guy.

Loved Wilson back in the day.
So reliable.
Heady, Wilson and Lewis were a triple threat with big Suma in the square too

24 has gone to the dogs a bit.
Sounds like Hall picked his own number if he has in fact combined his old man's numbers, but I would've liked him to take 24, Flynn to take 29.
Leave 25 vacant with 17.
I understand Archer had 22 in his junior years but I would have loved to see JK passing over the number 17 and mentoring Archer.
Big boy JK is half way to Broome. The house in Sth Freo is on the market, if it's not already sold. I don't think he's coming back in any semi permanent capacity
