Who To Give The Jumper Numbers To?
Available Jumper Numbers:
17
18
19
38
42
45 (Only Existing Vacant Number Before Jong at 46 - the highest jumper number)
Previous Numbers:
27 Bruce
42 Keath
44 Weightmn (Stingrays)
13 Butler (Dragons)
53 Garcia (Swan Districts)
Alternatively, is there anyone deserving an upgrade into the teens? Eg. English, La Young etc.
I'd live to turn #38 into a distinguished number forever. Maybe offered to the best KPD or something.

Re: Who To Give The Jumper Numbers To?
For mine:
17 Bruce (another big man to take over 17)
18 English (big promotion, assuming he wants it)
19 Butler
38 Keath (taking the honour of Morris jumper number)
42 Garcia
44 Weightmn (his junior jumper number)

I like the romance of the idea of giving #38 to a player off the rookie list too.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Who To Give The Jumper Numbers To?
If Garcia sticks with 53, he automatically becomes a fav. Love a random high jumper number.

I know I have said this before but can we PLEASE not give this jumper to our first round draft pick? Instead, can we either:
a). Take it to the middle of the Whitten Oval and BURN IT - never to be used again.
b). Perform some kind of ritual 'cleansing' before using it EVER again.
This jumper should never, ever be seen again.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Tom Campbell played in 45 for a few seasons before switching to a lower number.
I have a soft spot for 45 having worn it for most of my local footy career.

Re: Who To Give The Jumper Numbers To?
Retire 42 until we can give it to a rookie - Matty Boyd wore it before handing it to Picken. It's a rookie success magnet.
19 should be retired as it absolutely is cursed.

Yep agree. I've always eyed numbers 19 and 1 with extreme suspicion. But I always thought that Phil Bradmore wore number 18 because he was a full forward and another (better) full forward called Simon Beasley took the number from him.
Zeno Tzatzaris is like a god to some people. Maybe we could retire the number and just give him the jumper with 19 on it. Zeno will crush it to death! And I played cricket with Terry Love-he was a decent fast bowler and made a few rep teams even though he had some handy fast bowlers ahaed of him in underage ranks (Merv Hughes, Tony Dodemaide, Colin Miller and a few others who were good but never went anywhere. I can confirm some Blackadder type moments yelling "Go Love" and "Great stuff Love" at those old suburban grounds would get you some strange looks.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Lachie Young then?
I kind of like the idea of giving it a year and maybe considering if Khamis wants to change to 38 if he's coming along nicely.

I was an unabashed Zeno fan as he grew up only 8 or 9 doors away great bloke all round always time for a chat and a beer and whatever his injury was he never ever stopped smiling and giving of his time.

Not to mention he's the only Parkside boy to make it to the big time as far as I know.
