2014 guernsey numbers revealed

[troyjones2525]

Nearly all the other clubs have announced there new recruits numbers, when will we?

[ugg]

A quick search of the forums for past years shows that it varies between the 8th to the 22nd of December. 19th of December last year.

So far we know Rampe has received 24 from Jude and this afternoon Zak Jones was instagrammed by Tim Membrey in front of the number 11 locker so he possibly has that number now.

[ShockOfHair]

I'm all for Membrey and Buddy duking it out for no. 23. Not Campbell Brown style, more like who can do the best version of Wrecking Ball.

That's got fundraiser written all over it.

[ugg]

Has Lockyer chosen Membrey as his champion?

[wolftone57]

Yes why would Jordan not fight for 23 after all it is his not Tim's to fight for. I was a bit shocked there was no announcement of the Guernsey presentation on the Swans website. There is normally an announcement straight after the Rookie Draft has finished. It is a big deal at the Swans and Macca and Kizza will get up and give a pep talk to the new arrivals and the ones who are underachieving.

[707]

Available numbers 10, 11 (Jones?), 13, 18, 19, 24 Rampe, 29, 36, 41, 43.

Franklin, Laidler, Derykx, Hewett, Nankervis, Aliir, Perris need numbers

[swansrob]

Could Franklin wear the 19? Has been called the indigenous number previously.

[Ludwig]

I think Franklin should get the number 10,000,000

[wolftone57]

I think Franklin should get the number 10,000,000

Already getting that LOL but if he doesn't perform I'm sure he will get it over again and again shouted from the sidelines.

[707]

1pm Monday they will announce guernsey numbers, it's on the website.

Just looking at the accompanying photos, a few of the new recruits are very solidly built or it's trick photography. Anyone else think the pic of Nankervis makes him look like Glen Jakovich?

[Primmy]

That particular picture, small one, from a distance, and yes he does look like Jacovich. Wouldn't mind that.

I wonder how the discussion between Buddy and Jordan Lockyer went?

[goswannie14]

Good to see Buddy getting number 23 which he wanted and Jordan Lockyer getting back to his favourite number, 18, after all the carry on about him having to "give up" his number for Franklin, it appears that this is what he may have preferred all along.

[ShockOfHair]

Lockyer was excited to get the number 23 two years ago. Now he's excited to get no 18.

I thought the cool thing was Jude offering his no. 24 to Dane. Typically thoughtful Jude.

[CureTheSane]

People are so short sighted.

I have a different take on Buddy getting the 23.

Think of all those Hawthorn supporters who have "Franklin 23" tattooed on themselves.
It won't be something that they'll feel silly about now.

:D

[ugg]

Time to drag the retro Matthew Nicks guernseys out of the closet.

[jono2707]

Would have liked to have seen Aliir Aliir in 11.

[Primmy]

My thoughts exactly. I am quite pleased to see Frankie in Nicksy's number. Hope he does Nicksy proud.

[Doctor J.]

Would have liked to have seen Aliir Aliir in 11.

Verry good Jono

[iigrover]

Who wouldn't be excited to get Fitzy's old number! ;)

Hopefully, both Jordan and Dane can live up to those who have gone before them.

[ugg]

Ryan Fitzgerald, Heath James, Andrew Ericksen, Jesse White?

Probably not a good number to take if you're a tall

[Rod_]

Would have liked to have seen Aliir Aliir in 11.

Ditto - Ditto ~ I like it!

[Aaron]

Buddy - 23 - Just confirm what I predicted about the number and the man.

[desredandwhite]

Time to drag the retro Matthew Nicks guernseys out of the closet.

I actually have a SIGNED #23 guernsey in the closet that I won in a raffle... Must dust it off and give it an airing.

[liz]

Signed by whom?

Thanks Scott, that's a great tool. Luffy had 34 for 5 years longer than anyone else, would like to see AJ become a 12 year player too.

[Bloody Hell]

Buddy - 23 - Just confirm what I predicted about the number and the man.
Bit disappointed with that - 1. for asking for it 2. Lockeyer had to be convinced to move.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Jordan gives up number 23? What bull.

[ugg]

Jordan gives up number 23? What bull.
Not the first Jordan to forsake 23

[DeadlyAkkuret]

That's the joke.

[ugg]

That's the joke.
I was talking about Jordan McMahon!

[Primmy]

Look I can understand Locky not particularly wanting to give up Nicksy's number, but honestly, all this stuff going on. He got to pick up Fitzy's number! He's happy with that. Frankie is happy to keep the number he has played in. The end. Stop sniping. Wish I could get the nasties at the Tele to do the same. Talk about tall poppy syndrome.:surprise:

Again you're spot on Prims. It's bad enough that the media take every opportunity to lay in the boot but Swans fans, really???
So he wanted his old number and a young untried player had to change his number, big bloody deal. Get over it already.
If, in six months from now he's only kicked five goals for the season and had fifty disposals in total, then by all means go for it, but for now just lay off him.

[neilfws]

Cute exchange on Twitter just now.

Can't see if his knuckles are dragging on the ground.

I'm still blaming Matthews for Plugger's demise.

There are other precedents too. Ben Mathews might have kicked up a fuss about relinquishing no 4 to Plugger, but Dean McRae moved on from that number when Lockett first joined the club. And Simon Arnott quietly vacated the no 2 for Wayne Schwass.

[Dosser]

I still think Buddy should have tried for 37.

[ScottH]

Thanks.
Glad it gets some use!!

Now that i'd like to see....:wink:

Jude got the 'wall of blood' flowing quite well though.

Must say I'm more interested/impressed by the Jude/Rampe number transfer than the predictable Lockyer-Buddy one. One's about the graciousness and goodwill of a club champ, the other's about cash.

23 was the great Ron Clegg's number Ron "Smokey" Clegg Played 231 games for south won the Brownlow medal 1949 runner up 1951 was South 's Best and Fairest 3 times.Played 1945 till 1960 231 games was Captain and coach for his last few seasons. One of South's greatest players. I have seen him play ChF and CHB he was just as good ether end of the ground. The old Souh Grandstand used to come alive when "Smokey" had the ball. I hope Buddy can do Cleggies old number justice.

I remember Bob Kingston wearing it in the mid-60s. Kingo wore it with distinction at full-forward for a couple of years before unaccountably disappearing to the SANFL just when we needed him most. He was a hero of mine until he did that. Still have fond memories of his 9-goal game against Geelong in '65.

[Old S.M.Blood]

Bob Kingston's problem wasn't getting up there, Boy could he get up high to take a spekky BUT his problem was coming down.He seemed to knock himself out on landing .Yep bob was a great player there were not to many fullbacks who could handle him.I was sorry when he left South as well.
