    The numbers game

    What numbers will the new recruits pick up?

    Vacant numbers are: 1, 11, 19, 23, (or higher than 44)


    Cordy

    Jones

    Any other players to change?

    Well a lot of people say 19 should be burnt!
    Hows that for a guess?

      I'd agree with that.

      If they don't burn 19, perhaps someone with a high number who wants to move down can grab it.

        Missy goes from 19 to 7.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Re: The numbers game

          How about
          Harbrow - 1
          Roughead - 11
          Jones - 23
          Cordy - 49

          That is assuming Cordy wants his old man's 49 and here's hoping he does. Wouldn't be surprised if one of the other guys already on the list claims 23, it's a pretty popular number in a sporting sense.

                My understanding is that current players are given a chance to change numbers 1st, then this years draft picks are given a choice in the order that they were drafted.

                          HAHA Yes, fair point Underdog, if we keep it in footy terms no one wants 23

                            You beat me too it,
                            i was going to suggest Harbrow to get number 1.
                            40 is just too big physically for him. It barely fits across his back.

                            I think Cordy will get 11 like the previous beanpole.
                            Jones or Roughead 19 and 23
