Vacant guernsey numbers

[Muddiemoose]

Who cares though? It's just a number.

I dunno if it’s that simple for everyone
I understand that for some, even a lot of people they are just numbers but for me some numbers have more significance to the history of the club be it long term or even short term and that history can create a bit of identity that should be respected and that mystique can continue to grow with the right players been given those numbers

Can't that be done with any number though? If Dusty had stuck with number 36, that'd now be a 'sacred' number.

Of course but he didn’t and now he’s another name that has worn the number 4 who is a club champion and part of the legacy of that number

One thing I don’t mind about the whole earning the number thing is that it kinda mitigates a “dud” draft pick getting a really good number

Sometimes players just don’t work out or live up to the hype of draft night

Imagine Sonsie running around in a sub 20 number when he still hasn’t really shown anything

 

[tigs2010]

Dees, Eagles, Crows and Blues have all released their new numbers that I've seen.

Our media team asleep at the wheel again...

No one has the balls to tell Lalor that he can't have #4. Don't blame them he's built like the Hulk

 

[tiger_tough]

Ffs.
The players care...especially young ones. That's why Dimma wanted to make them earn it -- because a low number is something the vast majority of young players want.
No point in making somebody earn something if they don't want it

FOS given #2 @ Norf

 

[tiger_tough]

Bummers and Norf done their new numbers. Kako #10

 

[tigs2010]

Smillie #29
Trainor #23
Armstrong #12

Smillie #29

Armstrong #12

 

[tigs2010]

Last 2 definitely wrong. Smillie in 29 has to be a chance though.

 

[tigs2010]

I think if they stick with the barely decade old tradition this will be the numbers

26. Lalor
29. Smillie
31. Hotton
34. Faull
38. Trainor
44. Armstrong
46. Sims
50. Alger

Think they are the backpacks from the underage champs
Our player issues generally have yellow numbers/ highlights and club logo at the top

#34 … what a gift for someone.
Worn by two of my absolute faves - Graeme Landy and Jeff Hogg.
Wore 34 myself in my playing days

Only one of that bottom list I'll disagree with is Campbell. Last year was essentially his first year, played most weeks and from all reports has been the standout so far at training.

I wouldn't be outraged if they decided to give him the #7, but also happy to wait another year to see how he goes in 25.
