New numbers nominated

[KUNG FU]

Broughton was 48.

Richmond had players allocated numbers in the 50s this year - Relton Roberts appeared in the #50 in at least one game.

There's an interesting* thread on the stats board dealing with these sort of things.



*if you're as big a nerd as me.

Almost certainly. Consider that thread lurked.

Super Pets talks about the number #23.

This part should please....EVERYONE.

Petrenko played the opening 12 games last season filling a niche as a crumbing small forward in the Adelaide attack, but has trained with the defensive and midfield groups this pre-season.

"I'm eyeing off a defensive position this year because last season guys like Matty Jaensch and Ricky Henderson really stepped up and did a good job in the forward line.

Thank Christ for that Seeing Petrenko run around in our defensive half makes me even more excited for season 2011

This = WIN

Who freaking ray.

If we remove all the self harm, imagine how good we can be.

I like Petrenko in #23. Part of me thought that the number should be retired for a year or two, but if it's what Macca wants, then Petrenko should have it. The endorsement from McLeod could be a nice little psychological kick-start for the rest of Petrenko's career.

I emailed Phil Harper asking about the guernsey numbers. He confirmed all the numbers that have been posted on here, and also added:

33: Brodie Smith
41: Sam Martyn

37 is still available, as well as a bunch in the 40s.

 

[WALL-e]

Phil must love you mate.

Tambling No.1 doesn't bode well.....

#1
Romano Negri - 1991
Andrew Geddes - 1992
Greg Anderson - 1993-1996
retired - 1997
Ashley Furnee - 1998
Lucas Herbert - 1999

Matthew Smith - 2004-2005

Ian Callinan has opted to keep the No 37 locker he's been using for the past few weeks.

So there goes 37, the rest of the rookies will most likely take over the jumpers in the 40s now.

 

[cmndstab]

Presumably then it will be

42: Tim Milera
44: Jake van Bertouch
48: Lachlan Roach

Not a fan of odd numbers Stabby?

My maths OCD comes through again!!

All the odd numbers are already taken Unless one of them wants to buck the trend and leave 48 vacant and take 49. He could even make a statement out of it, and say our fifth rookie selection wanted guernsey 48

 

[KUNG FU]

Martin has moved off 41 remember, so 41, 42, 44 & 48 are available. I don't know why 49 is off limits though.

 

[WALL-e]

Martyn went on 41 didn't he?

 

[cmndstab]

Martyn went on 41 didn't he?

Correct. From Martin to Martyn!

So there goes 37, the rest of the rookies will most likely take over the jumpers in the 40s now.

So the following is left:
42 - made famous by Matthew Kelly, Chad Rintoul, Clint Kirey, Justin Cicolella, PauL Thomas, Jason Porplyzia, Tim Hazell, Ryan Nye, Sam Elliot, Rhys Archard, Jared Petrenko & Brian Donnelly
44 - Tommy Warhurst, Sean Wellman, Peter Cavan, Stuart Bown & Nathan Bock
48 - Grant Tanner & Matthew Jaensch
49 - Sean Tasker & Mark Viska
50 - Wayne Weidemann & Chris Groom
51 - Randall Bone
52 - the big fella

is it just the 3 new lads (Milera, von Bertouch & Roach) or do they assign one to Aaron Duncan as well?

 

[Firewalker]

Already done...

http://www.afc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4417/newsid/106009/default.aspx

37 Callinan, Ian *
41 Martyn, Sam*
42 Roach, Lachlan *
44 von Bertouch, Jake *
48 Milera, Tim *

 

[cmndstab]

Milera obviously wanted to follow in Jaensch's footsteps
