Agree. Ex swan needs a number used by another ex Swan. Leuenbrger deserves our ruckmans number.

Gwilt doesn’t get 31

If ever a number should be retired for a season or two, it’s the Essendon 31.(Not to be confused with the Essendon 34) (Not to be confused with Kyle Hardingham)

12

Retiring numbers is for Americans.

It’s Essendon we never ever retire numbers…otherwise we would have retired 3, 10…

We never ever had a 400 gamer before.

And if you prefer the term “put in mothballs” I’m ok with that instead.

Why are we giving Steinberg’s number away? Did I miss the news about him?

15

Don’t give 17 to anyone, it is cursed. Have we had a decent #17 ever? Best I can think of is Sporn (didn’t see Carey play)
