I agree with a couple of posters that Steven should be given 3 and the resposibility & faith that comes with it.
#4 I would give to Walsh, forget the pressure, he has enough hype already & if the judges are correct he won't have any problems wearing it with distinction.
#14 goes to Jesse Smith, a reminder to the previous occupant that we've moved on & quickly. Now it's on the back of a player who also tackles, kicks long & accurately and has pace (all providing he's on the park to display all those traits ) OR let CJ wear it!!!
#6 I would give to Lynch
#8 to Peake (I like the idea of Zach keeping his number, a reminder of where he's come from and what he's achieved with us in a short time)
#17 to our new Nicky Winmar (not quite the original 7 but very close)

I like everyone's optimism but giving some of these low numbers to guys who have been on the list for a few years and done nothing as a reward is a bit of a joke. I hope Armo blitzes next year but after 2/3 years of a handfull of games and many people here saying he should go to Gold Coast it seems strange that some are alluding to him deserving 4 or 3 or whatever.
Clint Jones deserves and has earnt a low number and if Armo or Jack had been given 3 or 4 when they first walked in fine but unfortunately they haven't yet "earnt" those numbers.

i seem to recall this was the number he wore in the NT before he got drafted. He wanted 8 when he came to the club but obviously Max already had it. GT suggested 16 as being 8 + 8. So looks like Raph still has eyes for the #8.plugger66 wrote:Interestingly Raph will be in 8 next year.
Personally I would have preferred Zac got 8 - but given he had 43 last year - maybe drop the first digit and leave him with the #3. Using the same logic, give Jack Steven the #4.
Nick Winmar in 14 has some nice symmetry ( 7 +7) but other than that, I'd prefer to see the numbers 16 17 given to Jesse Smith & Tommy Walsh both of whom I think will be on the list for at least the next 5 years

He wanted #8 when he was first drafted as he said it was always "his number" (he took #16 as a compromise) but obviously Max wouldnt give it away but he did promise when he retired Raph could have his #8plugger66 wrote:Interestingly Raph will be in 8 next year.
