Re: The most pressing issue now.

I'd imagine Suckling will get 1.
Next highest is 20 then 32, 33, 34 and 36.

Re: The most pressing issue now.

I can see one of our previously listed players taking number one. Tory Dickson for one possibly even Roughie.

Re: The most pressing issue now.

Suckling no.1
Dunkley 20
Collins 32
Speciman 33
Williams 34
Adcock 36

W

Suckling no.1
Dunkley 20
Collins 32
Speciman 33
Williams 34
Adcock 36

Would not give Suckling number one nothing against him but would prefer to offer it to a player already on our list.love to see Collingwood in number 32 though good call

Re: The most pressing issue now.

Dunkley to wear number 40 as his old man did in his first season?

Williams to wear 44 in honour of Mark Williams who wore the number for 5 games in 1979?

Collins to pull on either 34 or 47 as Darren Collins did in 1987-89?

Give the number 1 to Tom Boyd - he could do with a bit more pressure!

Re: The most pressing issue now.

Will Zaine drop himself down to 49 to maintain the family tradition?

Re: The most pressing issue now.

Couldn't help but notice Goetz wearing 52 for the Jets. I'm sure that's a result of him coming in late to the squad, but man I do love a good number in the 50's. It was the biggest upside of the Steven Koops era...

Because I lie awake and put too much thought into these things, here's my guess with no sensible reasoning at all

1. Suckling
20. Collins
32. Adcock
33. Dunkley
34. Williams
36. Adams
40. Lynch
52. Goetz (make it happen)

Re: The most pressing issue now.

Apparently on instagram m04ttsuckling is now m01ttsuckling, so that one looks pretty much locked in.

A big defender wearing 36? Bevo best tell The Specimen to avoid going within 20m of Nick Riewoldt.

Re: The most pressing issue now.

Harvey Stevens presenting 32 would be interesting.
