#14

[ROK Lobster]

Ted Richards, Spider, Spriggs if he stays? Or did Kelly never return it at the end of the season and now the club is a jumper short?

[punter257]

i can't believe i was saying bevan a few years back...........

now i have no idea - however i think they should just give it to one of our young fellas - at the end of the day its just a number

[satchmopugdog]

If we draft someone with the name Robert give it to them.

Maybe one of the Jared/Jarred/Jarrod/Jarryd/.....s might have a second name of Robert.(Or Tallulah or Memphys)

Give it to a Bobby.

[ScottH]

Spider will be 10.

[royboy42]

I have a sneaky feeling that eski will be at least deserving of, if not actually wearing#14....but , it is ,after all only a number!

[nomae]

jarrad moore!

...or malceski.

[satchmopugdog]

Is that Jarrad Robert Moore?

[katie-scarlett]

Bevan for #14.

[Lord Humungus]

givit to moorey.

[dimelb]

I really dislike the idea of special numbers. Give it to the next one on the queue.

[goswannie14]

I just wish they would hury up and give it to someone. If they don't this season I might have to change my RWO name.

[The Big Cat]

Give it to Torture if he's still around. He only got about 14 touches for the season!

As expected you have resurrected this thread from 2005 and 2004 and 2003. Should I go back any further. If you are going to do 243 off season threads at least make a few original. Lift your game ROK for Pete's sake, and everyone else's.

I can't believe some are saying it's just a number Skilts wore it, Kelly wore it, and they're arguably the two biggest names in the history of Sydney/South Melbourne. I'd like to see it go to either O'Keefe or Malceski, they're going to be wearing the red n white for years to come, and they'd be two candidates for a number that should be held in high reguard always.

I wrote to the club a few years back suggesting that the captain wear #14 with that players # being retired until the captaincy changes. Maxie was captain at the time. I said Maxie should wear #14 and #11 is retired until Maxie either retires or relinquishes the captaincy, in which case he returns to his #11. Shortly afterwards Richmond went down that track with Dyer's #17.

Stephen Brassell bailed me up at a function not long after and told me thay received the correspondence but the general feeling was the players were too attached to their own numbers and wouldn't warm to the idea. I'm not sure if that 'general feeling' was of the players or the office staff who kicked the idea around over lunch.

In this age of multiple captains I think it could again be considered. The captain of the day wears #14 and reverts back to #1, #21, #31 the following week or whatever it may be.

Feelings??
