yeah I thought that straight away, I cant find any due dates for official announcements anywhere... besides Adelaide only Dixon and Dangerfield have "numbers assigned on wikipedia"

That's because there isn't any due dates. It's up to each club to assign as they like.

I wouldn't expect anything finalised until the 2016 List has been finalised - so after the draft.

Rookie draftees usually get what is left over, and get a secondary announcement.

I reckon Matty Crouch will take number 3.

Menzel will take number 1
Seedsman will take number 20
Hampton will take 17
Gore will take 36
Draftee 1 will take 37
Draftee 2 will take 44

* 32 will be put on ice for the year.

So much this

Why would we want to limit the amount of great numbers that belong to the AFC by putting all future champs into 32 and 23?

Not enough players follow Shaun Rehn's example
99% of the time I agree.
I hated Sloane 31 ---> 9
I hated Dangerfield 19 ---> 32
I hated Martin 41 ---> 36
I hated Gallman ?? ---> 34
I hated Petrenko 33 ---> 23
I hated Cameron 42 ---> 23

I don't like giving a player the same number as a great because they're good and will live up to the number (Sloane, Dangerfield), because they supposedly play similar (Martin) come from the same SANFL club (Gallman) or are of the same race (Petrenko, Cameron)

I like having players make a name in a number.

If Sloane goes on to be the next Boomer Harvey and play 400 games, that relegats Edwards a little to a side note.
I would rather every player go 'why be the next Mark Ricciuto when I can be the first Joe Smith' and make the number their own.

I'd rather Sloane make 31 a famous number for the club rather than carrying on 9.

Having said that. Andrew/Darren and Brad/Matt is one exception I could make. I know it's hypocritical. But yeah.

I like high numbers too.
I want Brodie Smith to make 33 a famous number for our club.
I want Jake Kelly to make 47 famous
I want Riley Knight to make 39 etc.

Hindsight makes me look the fool but I was spewing when Matty Wright changed from 47 to 11 (coincidentally, also when his form took a big nose dive), because I thought he could have made the 47 famous. 47 is a very unloved number in AFL, anyone wearing it has the potential to be the greatest 47 ever. A lot easier than being the greatest 11 ever.
 
Who gets 32? The player drafted with pick 9 or do we give it to Brad Crouch and let him run amok?

I would like to see Menzel with a small number (1, 2 or 3).

32 needs to go to a gun and Brad Crouch is the biggest midfield gun (potential) we have on the team.
