    Player numbers for the 2024 season

    After our list changes we currently have the following numbers available for our incoming players

    #9, #16, #17, #22 , #27, #29, #37 #40 and #41

    I'm assuming our 1st pick at the draft this year should probably get jumper #9
    Jordan Croft should get his fathers #16 jumper

    We will have to wait and see who else comes in to see if there are some logical matches but the other consideration is the AFL want clubs to use past players to present the jumpers to players. I'm sure we can find some former greats to come in and do that.

    For of nostalgia how good would it be for Dougie Hawkins to present a jumper Jordan Croft or Brad Johnson for the likes of Nick Watson or Ryley Sanders?
    Could Lindsay Gilbee to hand the #9 to our first pick and what a nice touch that would be if it was Ryley Sanders given Gilbee found links to his indigenous background and so has Sanders.

    Any suggestions?

        I'll defer to Ross Christinsan.

        And 22 should be handed over by Ted Whitten Jr.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Given seniority and early access, I’d imagine Harmes and Coffield get access to early numbers. Say Harmes 9 and Coffield 17. I’d imagine the club is keeping 16 aside for Croft if he wants it. Likely leaves our top pick with 22 or something in that range.
          Do the AFL want this to happen on the night/s of the draft? because we’re not going to know what numbers the players we select will want, so I can’t imagine there’ll be any relation between who hands out the jumper and the eventual player number.

          Clearly though if our top pick is getting 22, club legend Mitch Honeychurch is on the dais.

              What about Twodogs presents the #22 to Ben Harrison who can then in turn present it to the new player.

                        I've become more of a fan of him since he retired
