Mkcenna #3.No thanks, do not like ruckmen in single digits
2 on bellchambers feels wrong and looks stupid on his backEdit: my bad, probably should have taken a better look at what you wrote!!
Don’t feel too bad, i typed like terry wallace speaks.
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)Daryl Gerlach!
Thank you pazza … my favourite player as a kid!! Silky skills, courage, pace. Now rossoneri go and wash your mouth out with soap and water.
Rubber-guts.
Chest marks would bounce off his chest as he came out full-bore and go back past the kicker.
Wore #2 in the 1965 GF.
You guys are old.
Happy to give #31 a year off.Don’t retire it though.
Save it for Jnr
would prefer a jobe watson situation where hes given a different number and makes his mark as his own player

Doesnt stop him making his mark as a player (all of this assuming he’s good enough)
If the draft goes as we think it might, I’d give 31 to Francis. The kid probably grew up with the number on his back, it’d be a massive honour for him.
Leuenberger must get 27, I’d like to see Laverde in 3 and Fantasia in 8 as well. Leaves 17 and 22 for Bird and pick 5, then delisted numbers + >30 numbers for the rest.

See what happens with draftees for the rest.

Update
3 - McKenna (Corrigan mentioned he wasnt happy he wasnt getting a senior game when speaking at the announcement of his first game, this boy will get the 3)
8 - Edwards (or Parish if drafted)
10 - Howlett (let me have this one)
17 - Langford (or Fantasia)
19 -
22 - Luenberger
24 -
27 - Bird
28 -
31 - Vacate 2015
36 -
37 -
43 -
Some iconic numbers may free up next 1-2 years draftees could earn them (5/9/13)
3 - McKenna
8 - Fantasia
17 - Laverde
22 - Gleeson
24 - McKernan
27 - Leuenberger
28 - Bird
31 - A rest
33 - Draft 1
35 - Draft 2
36 - Draft 3
37 - Draft 4
and so on…
How do you crackpots figure that McKenna gets 3??
Why give 17 to anyone?

I know benny isnt a big guy but sharing a jumper?
McKenna will never get 3.
Unlikely Gleeson and Langford would be upgraded.
McKernan and Fantasia should be upgraded to 22 and 8 respectively.
Give Bird 17 as that is really who he has replaced.
Leuenberger 27
I’d keep Laverde at 33, and then maybe 3 the following year.
I doubt Howlett will ever change from 40. He’s had tons of opportunities.
3 - Laverde
8 - Fantasia
17 - Bird
22 - McKernan
24 - Langford
27 - Leunberger
Draftees get high numbers and have to earn earlier numbers.
I’d upgrade;
3. Laverde
22. McKernan
Possibly 8. Gleeson
Then for the new boys;
17. Bird (or possibly no.28)
27. Leuenberger
Rest depending on draftees…

Of course there was the Great Judd Lalich along the way but Gerlach would take a lot of beating !
