BULLDOG recruits Mitch Wallis and Tom Liberatore have turned down the club's offer to wear the numbers of their famous fathers.
The Bulldogs announced their jumper allocations for next season today and Wallis will wear No.3 and Liberatore No.21.
Wallis's father Steve captained the Bulldogs in No.24 while Tom's father Tony won a Brownlow Medal in No.39.

Numbers 6 and 8 not mentioned...
6 has been rested for 2011 and I guess 8 is for Mitch Hahn if he is rookie listed?Quote:
