A handy Number 5 played at CHF in the '54 GF.
Two years later he won a Brownlow playing in the centre.
Played a total of 107 games. Not sure how many were in the No 5 guernsey.
Forced out over revelations in The Truth. Never the same person even after the dust settled.
Peter Box, anybody?

I'd give McLean the number 2 and Dale gets the 16.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
I really want Bailey to keep KT's 31 and make it into a famous number.
Who wears #31 for Melbourne? Barrassi used to.

Young has the number 2, Dunkley the number 5. More announcements to come

Big honour for both the young lad's to get two club greats numbers the year after retirement.
Well done and hope they wear them with pride and honour.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.
Does the previous holder get to nominate their successor?

Both will do it proud. Looking forward to seeing Dunks back out there again in 2018 and Young to keep on getting games - was very good last year and really can't knock him for some of his performances after that. He will be greatly helped by guys like Naughton, Trengove down there.

Jeez, Lewis Young gets 2. Didn’t see that coming
