Jumper numbers 2011

[The Coon Dog]

Number 6 to be retired.

Wally #3
Libba #21
Sherman #10
Djerkurra & Vespremi. One is wearing 32 & the other 33, but can't remember which.

[Mantis]

Surprised at some of those.

Thought 24 & 39 had been saved specifically for the F/S boys.

[lemmon]

Im fairly pleased with Wallis getting 3, if the raps are correct and we've got a good'un then hopefully the tradition is continued.

[EasternWest]

Number 6 to be retired.
Wally #3
Libba #21
Sherman #10
Djerkurra & Vespremi. One is wearing 32 & the other 33, but can't remember which.

Permanently retired?

Wallis in 3 is portentous. I approve.

[soupman]

Wow. Did not expect that. So that leaves 8, 24, 26, 35, 39 and 40.

Is it too late for some players to upgrade? I would like to see Picken, Addison or Jones in 8.

[Scraggers]

Number 6 to be retired.

Wally #3
Libba #21
Sherman #10
Djerkurra & Vespremi. One is wearing 32 & the other 33, but can't remember which.

Wow !! The number 6 being retired ? Is that just for 2011?

[The Coon Dog]

I think so.

[Mofra]

Number 6 to be retired.

Wally #3
Libba #21
Sherman #10
Djerkurra & Vespremi. One is wearing 32 & the other 33, but can't remember which.
Very surprised, not just at Wallis & Libba not taking their dad's numbers, but with 10 not saved for Hunter as well.

Pleasantly suprised, i'm a big fan of kids of fathers that have played to make a name for themselves in a different number, Mitch in 3 is awesome.

[LostDoggy]

Mitch in #3, I like it.

Good to see #21 replaced with great potential, helping us forget its previous gnat-like-owner.

[GVGjr]

Number 6 to be retired.

Wally #3
Libba #21
Sherman #10
Djerkurra & Vespremi. One is wearing 32 & the other 33, but can't remember which.

This from a new member the other day wasn't a bad get.

I would have liked Libba to get 8 or 6 if he wasn't going to take 39.

[OLD SCRAGGer]

I'm hoping Liam Picken now gets #8:)

I agree totally. :)

Have to say I'm surprised as well, just assumed that the F/S boys would take their Dad's numbers! Not unhappy about Mitch in 3 - from all accounts so far, he is a likely future leader of our wonderful club!

[comrade]

I might be reading entirely too much into it, but the fact that Mitch chose the sacred number 3 instead of his old man’s just screams of a kid who wants to be ‘the top rooster’. For too long we’ve had a meek and mild playing group; having a young bloke come in who is prepared to take on the pressure and legacy of the number 3 is a very good sign.

He has a long way to go, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he led the Club one day (and secretly deep down he probably can’t wait).

Long live the Adrian Campbell / Andrejs Everitt Legacy!!

That was supposedly one of the reasons we took Jarrod Grant rather than Lachie Henderson.

Henderson said he wanted to be a team player and contribute. Grant said he wanted to be the man.

I want to be number one


Like others I'm very pleased that Mitch got 3. I hope he asked for it.


I'm on the Liam Picken for #8 bandwagon too.

[Big Will]

Very surprised, not just at Wallis & Libba not taking their dad's numbers, but with 10 not saved for Hunter as well.

I like that number 10 won't just sit there waiting for a father/son choice. Holding a jumper number for a teenager is the beginning of sending the wrong message IMO.

I hope you're right, I can't help but think the same sort of stuff being said about Everitt.

[BulldogBelle]

Wonder if Libba jnr was offered #8?

A tough, inside player who will hopefully continue in the tradition of Danny Southern, Mitch Hahn, Bernard Toohey, Rick Kennedy etc

[EasternWest]

I hope you're right, I can't help but think the same sort of stuff being said about Everitt.

I've never once heard the word "laconic" used to describe Mitch. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Dre hater, but I'm happier to see Wallis in 3 than Everitt.

[KT31]

IMO they should have retired number 3 for a couple of seasons and waited until they had the right fit.(IMO Picken would have been a good choice)
To be fair the Dre was never ever going to live up to Grant and it may have been a bit unfair for the club to bestow it on him and give him the added pressure.
From all account young Wallis looks like he may be a good fit and a future leader at the club.
I wonder how Wally and Libba feel, that there son's knocked back their numbers ?
Wally still has a shot with his younger bloke picking his number up , if it is available and we draft him.

[mighty_west]

A certain number 42 might look good in 8, and continue on that tough rugged hardman tradition.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

That was supposedly one of the reasons we took Jarrod Grant rather than Lachie Henderson.

Henderson said he wanted to be a team player and contribute. Grant said he wanted to be the man.

Yep, I remember that.

Henderson started off his career better, but Grant overtook him in the space of 12 months. Let's hope he continues.

[w3design]

Wallis into 3 is huge for the kid. I get the feeling he will do it proud.

Sherman into Eagleton's 10 seems natural. Same sort of player- line breaker and long kicker.

What numbers have our draftees taken?

I think that's about all they have in common ;)

[OLD SCRAGGer]

Tom Hill get's #35 :)

[The Coon Dog]

Here are all the new numbers for 2010:

3 - Mitch Wallis
10 - Justin Sherman
21 - Tom Liberatore
24 - Jayden Schofield
26 - Zephaniah Skinner
32 - Pat Veszpremi
33 - Nathan Djerrkura
35 - Tom Hill

Have any of the players from last year changed numbers? Or do they get the option now with what numbers are remaining?

[The Coon Dog]

No, they haven't.

[Bulldog Joe]

3 - Mitch Wallis

21 - Tom Liberatore
24 - Jayden Schofield
26 - Zephaniah Skinner
32 - Pat Veszpremi
33 - Nathan Djerrkura
35 - Tom Hill

So we now maintain the number carried by Choco Royal for ex Geelong listed players.

[soupman]

35 - Tom Hill

This has the potential to continue the streak of injury prone players to wear the 35. Kretiuk was almost always playing with an injury and Tiller's body was very rarely more than 90% fit. Going off Tom Hill's injuries in the past few years this could well continue.

[Desipura]

Here are all the new numbers for 2010:

3 - Mitch Wallis

33 - Nathan Djerrkura
35 - Tom Hill
thanks TCD, I love the romance/history associated with player numbers.

[LostDoggy]

I'm getting very confused with the jumper number system.

When the rookie system was introduced, the rookies were allocated numbers from 40 upwards with the odd number in the forties held by a senior player.

Next season we have 4 senior players with numbers in the forties (41 - Hooper, 42 - Picken, 44 - Moles, & 49 - Cordy), and with Mitch Hahn a rookie (hopefully) still wearing the number 8.

Whilst I don't think it would be fair to re-allocate the #8 if Hahn was to be rookied, I wonder if the players with their jumper numbers in the forties were offered the opportunity to move to a lower number? Obviously, some may not want to (Cordy).

Would anyone know if the higher numbered senior players were offered lower numbers?

[The Coon Dog]

Would anyone know if the higher numbered senior players were offered lower numbers?

Yes, they get first choice to change, next are those traded in, then draftees (in order of drafting), then rookies.

Wouldnt it be great if we could have a ceremonial handing over of the numbers? Ex-legends who wore those numbers handing them over and saying a few words about what the number meant to them whilst welcoming them to the club.


3-Chris Grant
10-Monty
21-ummmm, Jim McAllister?:D
24-Steve Wallis/Gary Dempsey
26-???
32-Peter Foster
33-Brian Royal
35-Terry Wheeler

[The Coon Dog]

26 - Danny Del-Re.

Or Steve Power.

[Hotdog60]

Didn't Tony Buhagiar also wear 21?

Although it was for only 1 season I think.

[Twodogs]

how about Billy the kid for 21



I thought of Steve but I reckon he played his best footy in #2.

[soupman]

Jesse Wells? Patrick Wiggins?

What the?

[Twodogs]

What the?

He had #10 the first time around, didnt he?

[The Coon Dog]

He had #10 the first time around, didnt he?

Had 43 when on the Supp list, then yes, he did wear 10.

[Mantis]

He had #10 the first time around, didnt he?

I know what number he wore.... the ex-legend part had my concern.

[soupman]

Yes, surely Nathan Eagleton has rights to 10 over Monty.

[Greystache]

Yes, surely Nathan Eagleton has rights to 10 over Monty.

Personally I'd have gone for Mark Hunter over both of them, he'd have played 200 games for the Bulldogs if not for his dodgy hammies.

[Sedat]

21-ummmm, Jim McAllister?:D
26-???
32-Peter Foster
33-Brian Royal
35-Terry Wheeler
21 - Patrick Wiggins
26 - Tim Walsh

While I'm at it, let's get Christin Macri to present #33 and Doogs to present #32 :D

[soupman]

Is Brad Murphy available?

[chef]

Personally I'd have gone for Mark Hunter over both of them, he'd have played 200 games for the Bulldogs if not for his dodgy hammies.

And his best effort is still yet to come, helping produce his son Lachie.

[Mitcha]

And his best effort is still yet to come, helping produce his son Lachie.
Rumour has it that Mark actually did some substantial damage to his left string during the
conception of young Lachie!!!!!!!!!

[soupman]

Rookies?

[soupman]

For those still wondering, according to the NAB cup record we have Johannissen in 39, Dahlhaus in 40 and Mr Barlow in 43.
