Player numbers for the 2024 season

[GVGjr]

After our list changes we currently have the following numbers available for our incoming players

#9, #16, #17, #22 , #27, #29, #37 #40 and #41

I'm assuming our 1st pick at the draft this year should probably get jumper #9
Jordan Croft should get his fathers #16 jumper

We will have to wait and see who else comes in to see if there are some logical matches but the other consideration is the AFL want clubs to use past players to present the jumpers to players. I'm sure we can find some former greats to come in and do that.

For of nostalgia how good would it be for Dougie Hawkins to present a jumper Jordan Croft or Brad Johnson for the likes of Nick Watson or Ryley Sanders?
Could Lindsay Gilbee to hand the #9 to our first pick and what a nice touch that would be if it was Ryley Sanders given Gilbee found links to his indigenous background and so has Sanders.

Any suggestions?

[The Doctor]

How about these suggestions?

Lindsay Gilbee hands over number 9

Matty Croft hands over 16

Josh Bruce hands over 17

Mark Cullen hands over 22

Super hands over 27

Neil Cordy hands over 29

Rourke Smith hands over 37

Troy Moloney hands over 40

and Two Dogs hands over 41

[GVGjr]

How about these suggestions?

Matty Croft hands over 16



And Jordan say's something silly like 'give it to mum she does all my washing'.

I'll defer to Ross Christinsan.

And 22 should be handed over by Ted Whitten Jr.

Given seniority and early access, I’d imagine Harmes and Coffield get access to early numbers. Say Harmes 9 and Coffield 17. I’d imagine the club is keeping 16 aside for Croft if he wants it. Likely leaves our top pick with 22 or something in that range.
Do the AFL want this to happen on the night/s of the draft? because we’re not going to know what numbers the players we select will want, so I can’t imagine there’ll be any relation between who hands out the jumper and the eventual player number.

Clearly though if our top pick is getting 22, club legend Mitch Honeychurch is on the dais.

It’s like DFA was never born

[Happy Days]

What about Twodogs presents the #22 to Ben Harrison who can then in turn present it to the new player.

[bornadog]

I've become more of a fan of him since he retired

[The Underdog]

Oops

Dylan ****en Addison

Haha, I was waiting on EW to come into the room - bit of fun.

[ledge]

Wasn’t a player named Perrin number 40 . He went all right .
Showing my age now.

Played in the 80s

Came from North Melbourne. I don't know that he went alright as Ledge said (I think the passage of time has him looking back with rose coloured glasses) but there used to be two homemade signs on the fence. If he wasn't playing it said "Put Brian Perrin In The Seniors" and if he was playing it said "Keep Brian Perrin In The Seniors"

We used to think it must have been his mum who put them there

[Bulldog Joe]

He has certainly been less likely to concede a goal with an error.

Shane Birss wore 40

Troy Moloney

Troy Moloney

He was a little muscle man.

[ledge]

I see a pattern with 40, small to Mid sized blokes with a stocky build.

9 Sanders
16 Croft
17 Coffield
22 Harmes
27 Freijah
37 O'Driscoll
40 L.Smith

You would think Sanders would get 9 as Gilbee handed him the Jumper on draft night.

Up to Croft if he wants the old mans jumper

[Sedat]

They should retire 41 as a mark of respect for the Sweet Prince

I think it's a basic safety precaution. Can you imagine a draftee putting on His Royal Highness' jumper? They'd break every bone in their body.

I suspect the player numbers will be announced soon. Yesterday I tried to access the players information on the club website and it's
still closed or out of bounds at the moment. Information on the coaches page isn't available ether.

Is it just a sign that the site is being updated with all the new players and their numbers?
I checked earlier in the week and it still had the likes of Hannan, McLean and Sweet on there so I think the timing of it being down now is indicating an update is close.

No I agree, I just find the idea of closing off basic parts of the site in response to the good stuff we've been getting recently funny

The club does seem to have lifted the quality of some of the content it's sharing now. I'd imagine the player details will be completed today. I did see some people questioning the club about the player numbers a few days back and perhaps they've reacted to that.

I sent them a new weighing machine and height measure, so they are slowly checking every player to update the site :D:D

[Scraggers]

James Harmes gets #22
Nick Coffield gets #17

I think they've just reloaded the old version

Well the club has updated the website but you have to ask the question why Harmes and Coffield are in Dogs jumpers and Bramble is in a Hawks one. It can't be that hard.

Also the coaches pictures haven't been updated and Mat Inness replacement in Daniel Duvnjak-Zaknich hasn't been included.

[The Doctor]

9 Sanders
16 Croft
17 Coffield
22 Harmes
27 Freijah
37 O'Driscoll
40 L.Smith

Yep, all updated and now Bramble is in a Bulldogs jumper.
I don't think they've added the images of the new coaches and fitness staff yet.

Nice one Doctor. I'd hate to calculate the odds of getting them all right :)
