Start the Campaign: JUH wears 51

[Mofra]

Marketing team will be pushing hard for #1 or #23 I'd imagine.

He wore 25 at Oakleigh, but I would have thought the Jordan/Buddy factor would make 23 attractive.

Aren't numbers in the 50s reserved for Footscray players? I did notice Bedendo rocking the number 54 in his photos as wll

The rookie draft is today and I am 100% expecting at least 1 more indigenous player to be selected...if you want to talk it, you have to walk it.

I think you will be disappointed - unless we somehow backtrack on the commitments to Roarke Smith and MacPherson it's a negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.

Truth be told I'm a little disappointed as well - especially since we have been talking about small quick pressure forwards

I would have liked one as well. Is there any chance McNeil could be that player? Seems to have good pace and is a strong tackler, no idea of his forward craft.

I know he has probably played midfield most of his junior (and senior SANFL) career but I imagine plenty of small forwards (and backs) were midfielders once.

Could be a bit like Garcia? He's quick and tackles well. Not sure on his goal sense but same goes for Garcia. Perhaps they can develop into a small mini tiny mosquito squad. Some attributes to work with for sure, it's just whether that crumbing and goal sense is there.

Not keen. Think Jamarra will make his own way in 1 or 23.

Regardless of whether Marra gets 51 or not, it's a great opportunity to reconnect Magic with the club and increase his profile with newer generations. He warrants recognition in our Hall of Fame. Magic would be an awesome mentor of JUH.

So you are happy to take 23 off Vander?

I remember seeing an earlier post offering Vander #8. Just posted in a different thread video of Lachie McNeal wearing number 51 at the Eagles.

[Bulldog4life]

Number one pick. He should be able to choose any of the untaken numbers. His decision.

[Axe Man]

Number 4, he's already got various items of Bont's clothing, might as well take his jumper as well.

If Vander is happy to take 1 or 8 - then yep.

Why 23? The Buddy thing? How is that making his own way but wearing 51 isn't?

23 is the world renown number for sporting superstars. Jordan, Warne, LeBron, Buddy.
