Do you have proof or are you just speculating?

Neither. He was 10 at StK. and wanted 10 at Hawks, but couldn't get it. So it is a natural assumption.

I thought the same thing. Evidently many kids at the family day wanted Spida's number at the face painting, but because it han't been confirmed yet, they couldn't paint it on anyones face.

He should have "legs 11"

Thanks IAGs.

I knew the numbers were allocated before Xmas ... but don't get their "official" presentation till March!!

Good to see Spida got the 10 he wanted. I hope the does the number justice for us. He's got big shoes to fill.

I'm glad they've let 14 rest. Save it for when we have one captain (or until Goodsey gets the brownlow again late 2007).

Despite BBBH being #1, Sydney in the modern era don't seem to run with the whole 'higher numbers being better' thing, and quite simply slot 'em all in wherever they fit. Three mainstays of the club are #s 31, 32 and 37, while a rookie is in single figures and a slightly rough late draft pick in the teens; that wouldn't happen at most other clubs.

The only guy in my memory to take a 'promotion' was Schneider... and it nearly backfired badly.

Malceski went from 40 to 9 last year, and that went pretty alright.

Doubt it. He has won 2 Charlies with #37 on his back, he won't change it now.

Seems no one wants to touch #14 now, and I don't blame them. Imaging the pressure they would be under! #11 seems to be heading down that road as well.

Tadhg Kennelly went from 41 to 17
Ryan O'Keefe went from 39 to 5
Ben Mathews went from 36 to 4
Stephen Doyle went from 32 to 15

Goodsey went from 41 to 37.
His next promotion will be to 14.

Goodes never wore 41. Tadhg took that number over from Troy Cook.
