Vacant guernsey numbers

[THE_GUN]

Great number is 10. I always asked for 10 when I played various sports when I was younger.

I always had and love #4

Still always include 4 in lotto

A new player in my old club many years ago debuted with number 5 on his jumper. Was an absolute star for us.

Three years later he requested number 46. We asked him why? And he answered that numbers don’t matter to him and he rather free up a low number to those that it mattered. So we agreed. He’s a star.

So he’s playing style got……….



Absolutely worse!!!!!!

And halfway through the season was dropped to the Reserves with all the other number 40’s.

He never played a senior game again despite returning to nr 5 the year after.

forgot about kaleb

Only shit thing about using up all of our good numbers is that our number 1 and 2 picks from next years draft will be in 47 and 56

And Nick daffy

Kevin Sheedy.

Kevin Sheedy.

********er

Agreed. But his time wearing #10 was a successful one.

Given it’s cricket season, I always take guard on middle stump.

Haere Ra

Agree, I’ve posted how I think numbers are significant and some thought should go into who gets what but I hate the idea of retiring numbers or leaving them vacant out of respect or whatever

Dusty will go down as one of if not the greatest Richmond players of all time

No one is going to be the “perfect” replacement to have number 4 but shelving the number is more disrespectful to his legacy imo

We need to see our famous numbers out on the field with new kids adding to the legacy of those numbers

Lalor in my mind is a close to a perfect fit as anyone

I also think it’s another situation of Yze being half pregnant.

Not being his own coach. Keeping some traditions and moving on with others.

I agree with you, retiring for one year adds nothing to Dusty’s legacy. So if Lalor shows glimpses they are gonna anoint him? Why not now.

Absolutely
Lalor appears to want the 4 for his own reasons but is also willing to put his balls on the line and understand the expectations

Let him have it imo

Almost seems like the club are afraid the see the jumper playing at VFL level or something

Jumper numbers being rested isn't new, or Unique to Richmond. It's not going to be forever.

Yeah it’s so ****ing weird.

There was great expectations on Cotchin, Edwards, Riewoldt etc when they were drafted early and it didn’t faze them to take those numbers. In fact it helped them take ownership of the clubs direction. Like Lalor wants to do. He wants to be that next wave leader. We are stifling him.

Yeah I get that but just with everything we have heard from Lalor and with his own history with the number giving him number 4 just makes sense

maybe he'll get another low number

 

[TigerTime88]

Hopper - 2
Mansell - 7

lalor may have already got a big head so theyre trying to knock him back a peg

 

[Michaels]

The only changes I have heard were Hopper to 2 and Mansell to 7.

looking forward to seeing the rest!
