WTF has Warner Jr done to get Adam 's number !

Yes I tend to agree I think that the number 37 holds a special significance for Swans supporters and should be assigned accordingly.
You would think that wearing it also has a little psychological pressure attached as well.
Having said that if he has half the career that Adam had I think we as supporters would be quite happy.
I don’t see why the no.37 can’t be put on hold until a player emerges to warrant it- it shouldn’t be given to a new player. It needs to be earned; ET being an indigenous player may have been the reason he received it, but unfortunately it was a disaster. It is simply risky to give it to a new recruit and I don’t understand their thinking, unless they were smoking what I did many years ago.
Hope the Swans Warner obsession doesn 't backfire , i dont like it
I have found an interesting pattern with the player numbers.
2, 15: players promoted to lower numbers.
19: player traded in.
29: first player drafted.
34: second player drafted.
37: third player drafted.
41: fourth player drafted.
Last year's recruits:
6: first player drafted. (McDonald)
16: second player drafted. (Campbell)
21: third player drafted. (Gulden)
31: player traded in. (Hickey)
33: rookie. (Sheather)
36: player promoted to lower number (Amartey)
40: rookie. (Carruthers)
So players drafted appear to be assigned vacant numbers in the same order they are drafted.
