Pick 34 - Who Do We Take?

There’s an arresting quality about him.

Geoff Parker had two stints with us IIRC. I think he wore both 11 and 25.

Better cricketer than footballer though. Played for both Vic and SA.

Accomplished footballer but a tad slow, I think.

Another Sheedy special.
Solid to chunky (think Lehman etc), good hands, little acceleration.
Would have been a Blitz cause célèbre - looked like he should have been better.

@Alan_Noonan_10 seems to have a very good memory for player numbers. I’d say it’s a bigger strength than his grammar nazi skills…

Up there with my punning and sarcasm and appreciation of European films.

How appropriate we are talking jumper numbers given the thread title.

#34. A BBlitz classic.

Mervs first number?

I rated Parker back in the day. Had some pretty tough competition for a spot.

He only remembers one, the great number 28.

So pick 34 is part of the Devon Smith deal isn’t it. I suppose we can’t lose then

But we can win big.

Jake Neade?
Although he could be available with our pick 66.

I wouldn’t take him full stop.
