Who gets #8

Re: Who gets #8

The number would look fantastic spread across the broad shoulders of Reid, has to be either Reid or Picken for mine

Wait.

Tough as nails?

Check.

Not necessarily as skilled as others?

Check.


Do anything for the team?

Check.

Stood up in finals?

Check.

Congratulations Dylan Addison. If you Wang a change from 22, 8 is yours.

Wang a change sounds more intriguing though. What could it mean...?

True. The inherent humour in such a typo shouldn't be overlooked.

Is he guaranteed starter in most games in 2011 and beyond? Questionable

He'd be a better choice than Reid IMO - he finished the season well and I'd say he is in front on the pecking order. Still probably on the fringes though with a full list.

Personally I like the idea of a dour/tough backman getting the number, and as we don't have one and Picken plays a defensive role (and as Delideo will attest to, can be a prick on the field) he is my first choice.

Re: Who gets #8

Liam Picken for me, he's a tough nut like the players who wore no. 8 before him. I haven't seen enough of Sam Reid to have an opinion on him yet.

Re: Who gets #8

If Dylan Addison gets #8 i'll spew up.

Sorry i wouldn't be happy if we gave to him.


Maybe Brian Lake might want a better number. He'd be the perfect number 8

Re: Who gets #8

But he'll look even better in 24, much as young Libba will in 39

Yeah but its too cliché... I reckon take the path of Ablett at Geelong - even though that has now gone pear shaped - and make a different number his own. Same goes with Libba too...

With all due respect to Libba & Wally who were great players for the Dogs, there would be alot more pressure if your Dad is Gary Ablett Senior.
I like the idea of sons wearing their Dads number.

Re: Who gets #8

I'm guessing Mitch will keep the #8.

Yep. It looks like it might be a moot point now.
