With the delisting as of Cumberland & Coulthard, the list of vacant numbers is at a level I have never seen before.

2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 17, 24, 26, 29, 34, 38, 50.

Not sure many of the boys in high numbers have earned a lower number. Possibly Campbell & Le Flau. I’m sure a few will be rewarded though.

Is Yze going to continue the lower number must be earned tradition? Or are we going to fill these numbers with kids immediately?
That’s will be the most interesting thing moving forward

Especially since some of the numbers that are now free are some of the most significant traditionally from a club standpoint and some of our recent history

4 - Hart/ Dusty

8 - Roach/Riewoldt

9 - Cotch after not picking up 17 that used to be our captains number

12 - Titus/ Richo

17 - Previously used by our captains and Rioli family name

29 - Bartlett
 
Tresize - 36 —> 26
Lalor —> 36
MRJ - 10 —> 17
Blight - 51 —>34
Gray - 52 —> 38
Bauer - 43 —> 24
Green - 48 —> 29
Smith - 49 —> 16
Banks - 41 —> 11
Sonsie - 40 —> 10

Leaves 40, 41, 43, 48 & 49 for draftees
 
Give the first 4 picks their pick of numbers exc. 4, and promote a couple of others.

Yep. You earn your jumper, not a number. Let’s get the lower numbers back out there

Have a listen to this even fast forward to the Richmond part. One of the guys calls up Sammy Lalor and asks him what number he would want if he was to be drafted to Richmond. He says straight up #4, also made a comment saying “I hope so” when asked about the links of going #1 to us.

🔒 him in

degoey is his idol
 
2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 - Vacant

6 - Sam Banks
7 - Steely Green
11 - Kaleb Smith
16 - James Trezise
17 - Maurice Rioli Jr
24 - Ben Miller
26 - Jacob Bauer
29 - Seth Campbell
34 - Jacob Blight
36 - Pick 1 - it was good enough for the GOAT then it's good enough for our first pick.
38 - Campbell Gray

Leaves 41, 43, 44, 46, 48, 49 & 50 for the rest of the draftees.

Give them all a year to earn a better number. If they're as good as we hope, then the 7 vacant numbers can be theirs

Put Green in 7, won't even notice Baker is gone then.
 
No 1 pick can choose any guernsey he likes I reckon.

All else being equal:
2: dyls choice
4: has to be earned by someone really special
6: griggas choice?
7: give it to one of the young lads who played regularly last year and showed a lot of promise. Could be Bauer, Green, Campbell.
8, 12: these numbers are reserved for outstanding and loyal power forwards. Lefau could be one of them. So could fawcett. Or we could draft one.
9: cotchs choice
11: pretty open imo
16: allocate it to someone
17: Moz has first refusal, if he picks 17 he can choose who gets 10. Otherwise reserved for captain or another Rioli
24: my favourite number apart from 5. Give it to my favourite player (cumbo is gone though so I don’t know)
26: give it to the player most like nahas
27: please become vacant
29: kbs choice. If kb doesn’t want to nominate then Rhett can. Otherwise give it to a gun high pick or reserve for someone special.
34, 38, 50: draftee numbers
