2023 Jumper Numbers
This could be one hell of an historic change over of some big numbers going into 2023 if cards fall a certain way. So far it’s as good as done for Jumper #5 & Jumper #12
Gone:
Jumper #5 (Pickering says he won’t return)
Jumper #12
Nominations?
Possible:
Jumper #7 (if it happens)
Unsigned:
Jumper #3
Jumper #8
Jumper #13
Jumper #18
Big club names and history attached to entire list including unsigned players: Whitten, Grant, West, Hawkins, Smith, Boyd, Hopkins, Southern, Giansiracusa, Beasley, Cameron.
Liam Jones was #19 last time. He upgraded into #14 at Carlton. Does Cody take an upgrade and Jonesy takes #19 back? Or is he an upgraded player again? #12 has been recently dominated by KPD’s.

Re: 2023 Jumper Numbers
I think Jones to 12 makes the most sense but we might very well keep Martin given there has been no news yet.
5 goes to the first pick of the draft this year.

Re: 2023 Jumper Numbers
I'd be giving number 3 to Cam Rayner.

Assuming Rory Lobb comes to Dogs, will he get number 5 ?

What about 12 from Martin?
Welcome back Old SCRAGGer, that was a long drought.

Holy crap there's some old names coming back into the fold and I am loving it.
Welcome back mate.

Re: 2023 Jumper Numbers
If Hunter goes could swap West into 7 and Darcy into 14.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Re: 2023 Jumper Numbers
Could be a huge haul if we turn over the list as we should. 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18 all big possibilities to be vacant and really Hunter is the only player from that lot that would be a "loss".
Don't have much talent on the list worthy of the upgrades though for the prestigious numbers. Those who are worthy are already established in their numbers (Naughton, English, Daniel, Dale), and while there are some nice types I don't think they are of the calibre that I associate with those numbers (Vandermeer, Khamis, McNeill, Garcia).
Weightman is probably the only one that ticks all the boxes, and not sure he would change.

Re: 2023 Jumper Numbers
We need to get Weightman out of the 19 and then burn the 19 in the centre circle of Whitten Oval before it ruins any more lives.

7 is a special jumper - Does West deserve it ?

No but he gets the father son bump.

I know what you did there, and it is nostalgic.

I posted this on another one. I'm hearing Hunter is staying and hasn't asked to traded.

It seems most Father Sons prefer not to wear their Dad's number.

Re: 2023 Jumper Numbers
If Mitch Wallis isn't re-signed, retire no 3 for a year
5 for our first round pick unless he looks like a tough bastard, which means he automatically has to wear no 8.
