Thanks for that TCD.

Can't help but notice that numbers 24 and 39 have been left vacant for 2010!!

quite rightly!

[LostDoggy]

No 10. to be left vacant next year?

[mighty_west]

No 10. to be left vacant next year?

Most likely, as well as 21.

[Mantis]

Most likely, as well as 21.

I think it was implied that once Eagleton finishes up the no.10 jumper might be put in cotton wool for Lachlan Hunter whose father (Mark) wore that guernsey number.

Unless there is another Eagleton on the way... NO!!!

[LostDoggy]

Who was/will be #21?

[mighty_west]

Who was/will be #21?

Did Paul Ross play 100 games? ;)

[mighty_west]

Ross who incidently is the son of a '54 Premiership player Don Ross, keeping in the subject of father / son's, yet Ross only played the 3 games for the 'Scray, so he falls A LITTLE BIT short of having qualified had he had a son coming through.

A little bit of useless info there, but he was number 21..:D

Steven Power played 171 games, but is probably getting on a bit to have a son young enough, Matthew Dent only played 63 games, but if he had a son, he'd most likely qualify for Brisbane anyway.

[Throughandthrough]

so we didn't retire #28........

We are the only club already excited about the 2010 draft I'm assuming - TAC will be interesting this year given Libba & Wallis carved it up last year.

[LostDoggy]

Carved it alright. I saw a highlights package of Tom Liberatore in the TAC Cup GF and it would get any bulldog fan excited. His hands brilliant, the in and under work like his dad, yet his left foot kicking was way better than Tony.

[LostDoggy]

Im glad we don't have jumper changes besides the new recruits.

Cant remember what club it was (StKilda maybe?) but there was plenty of changes other than recruits..dont know what the point is...maybe to confuse everyone?

Keeping track of whos playing where next year is going to be hard enough..

The reason we have no major movement is because the players that retired/ were delisted all had high reasonably numbers.

It is seen as a sign of worth/ status to have a low number so I guess we will see some movement when Johnson & Eagleton retire within in the next few years and then Murf, Mitch, Lindsay and Gia a few years later.

That is not a universal opinion.

Not sure that Morris No 38 and Lake No 36, both All-Australians in recent seasons necessarily agree.

No, but Grant (24), Murphy (22), Everitt (29), Cross (38), Boyd (42), Johnson (33), Higgins (19), Hahn (37) & Gilbee (29) all have changed down. Seems to have happened forever that when a lower number becomes free it goes to a very good player.

I agree TCD, most players like to move to lower numbers as they establish themselves at the club. There are also players that the club asks to move to a lower number especially if it has been worn by club legends. There are still a significant number who get a high number and like to stick with it.

I don't know that the current Nos 1 and 3 yet qualify for the "very good player" description, and one wears an almost sacred number. Let's hope hindsight proves your description to be accurate and prescient.

However I am not too keen on the idea of giving players not yet established in the side low numbers, it's too easy for them to get confused about where they're actually at and it is hard to think that they have done enough to earn it.

I agree & I like the decision of Hardwick at Richmond where he's left lower numbers recently vacated free & asked the newer players to earn them.

[LostDoggy]

Thanks for that TCD.

Nice pick up, i am a little more excited now! :)
