    Who gets #8

    "Tits" Kennedy
    Daniel Southern
    Benard Toohey
    Mich Hahn

    Over the years #8 has become the tough guy number at our club. With Mitch Hahn's retirement today should we retire the number or promote som one alead on the list?

    I'd like to see Liam Picken get the number. He's got all the right attributes. He's tough and he never gives in.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      First person I thought of was Picken as well.

      Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

          I thought it was a delisting... has he completely hung up the boots?

              I don't know if there is anyone in the team who is rugged or hard at it enough to get the #8....like the 3 & 6 I would be inclined to rest it for a season and see who emerges to take on the mantle.

                          Dale Morris or Liam Picken.
                          Footscray member since 1980.

                              I like Dale wearing a humble, high number. He's made 38 his own and it suits him perfectly.

                              Picken is a good choice for the number 8.
                              Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                                      I think Easton Wood as well.

                                          Have to say the first that came to mind was Liam Picken - tough, uncompromising and has tons of courage.

                                              Picken or Wood are outstanding candidates

                                              I'd like to see one of them take 8 and the other 10

                                              Probably Picken for #8

                                                  My call is for Picken, I think it would suit him down to the ground.
                                                  Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

                                                  Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

                                                  And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

                                                      Pretty sure Sherman has been given 10.

                                                          Picken is absolutely rugged and hard at it enough. He's been the natural successor to 8 in my mind.
                                                          I think Lake is the natural no.3 if he wants to move up from 36. He's got the runs on the board and is absolutely worthy of it.
                                                          Happy to rest 6 for a year though.
