Start the Campaign: JUH wears 51

[Bulldog Joe]

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.

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

Has also seemed a preferred No for various Jordan's of varying abilities.

2 with us, 1 a premiership hero and 1 who gave his best service by leaving and effectively providing the trade that ultimately got us Jack Macrae.

Just think it's weird people want him to make his own way by not wearing 51 but at the same time are happy to make Vandermeer change numbers to facilitate JUH playing in the number the player he rightly or wrongly is most compared to also coincidently wears.

Put Jamarra in any jumper number. I bet within 2 years, those jumpers will be sold out quicker than any other, including #4.

Build it and they will come.

Agreed. Let him write his own story.

There are many jumpers given out to players because the jumper is special - 3, 7 to name two. Why not 51 to represent one of our best ever indigenous players, or perhaps give him Lindsay Gilbee's number (can't remember his number) - our longest serving indigenous player.

I think if we give him 1 it will be a bit of a wank - sort of saying look at me I am number 1 draft pick.

23 - well why should Vander give up the number?

[Bulldog4life]

It is easy really. Jamarra gets the the number he wants. Not what supporters want.

Number 9. How could you forget Gilbs' number? It was Les Bamblett's number too.

51 is fine, if Magic Mclean is onboard.

Without his endorsement, it becomes cliche and twee; and given where we are, the only club to have zero indigenous players on our list in 2019.
23 is cliche too, everyone copying Jordan.

I'm on board with 51, but Magic has to be a part of it. We've got to make the connection between OUR indigenous past and OUR future.

51 is a striking difference from the pack that makes single digit guernsey numbers prized.

Let 51 stand as a new connector for our club, to both gesture to our past indigenous heroes and as an identifier to an enduring commitment to be a club that seeks to attract more of our first nation people.

Can't mention Buddy without Dermott Brereton who Buddy copied

[Eastdog]

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

Yeah I’m with you as well on this B4L.

[KT31]

Looks pretty good in this one to me.

[Happy Days]

Looks pretty good in this one to me.

This picture is so weird. Who’s he even pointing at? Is it supposed to be himself?

[comrade]

Suckers got paid for one more promotional gig before retiring.

[Ozza]

No disrespect intended toward Magic, but he didn't even play 100 games for the dogs. Think its a real stretch to make is a legacy number.
