We've had a few list changes and just grabbed Sam 'bargain' Darcy, so what numbers are we expecting to see allocated?

No 2 for Sam has a nice feel to it.
No 10 is now free, do we retire it for a year as Woody is a Premiership Captain?
Lipinksi was 27
40 should go to the quickest recruit we pick up, a little nod to Harbrow

36 is also free - if we pick up Charlie Dean or another KPD type, having a big 36 running around in the back half just seems right as well.

Does any one currently playing look for a number change?

Darcy with 40 would be cool, same number his dad started with.

Marra move up to 2?

The Marra move up to 2 crossed my mind also.

2. Sam Darcy

10. Tim O'Brien

25. Charlie Parker

27. Luke Cleary

32. Cody Raak

36. Robbie McComb

40. Arthur Jones

I think Marra gets no.3 when Wally gives it away.

I wonder what numbers on the jumpers mean for players like Marra?

The higher the number the more the badge of honour, also the closer to the senior core of the team in the locker room

In terms of its history of the number, Id imagine he is just more focused on creating his own history and legacy

Marra says:


As far as motive, Ugle-Hagan pointed to an inspirational mentor and fresh start as to the reasoning behind the switch.

“The main thing was I wasn’t happy with last year’s performance,” he said.


“I feel like the change in number can be more of a reset.


“I picked the number as my mentor is Chris Johnson and he wore the number two. He has looked after me while I have been in Melbourne.”


“I’ve always looked up to him.”

While not a Dogs player, love the connection with Chris Johnson and the respect from Marra.
Plus Marra in #2 is gonna look amazing. Hope Lewis left some of those long sleeves for him.

That's a nice connection. Maybe we need to give Chris a job. ;)

He’s the kind of guy who’s be an asset to any organisation, but pretty sure he’s probably got enough going on.

I was just reading this; you're right.
