Know your players who have worn #43 and above?

Thanks Molsey!
I've been enjoying the Blueseum articles on the main website. It's always nice to have a tricky little piece of information when you run into those *know it all* footy fans 8)

Quote:
There’s no doubting the historical link between high numbers and short careers, although as we have seen a good number of players in the BIG numbers just used those numbers as a stepping stone down to a more ‘normal’ number, such as Lofts, Austin, Hanna, Harmes and Christou. Others, such as Madden, Koutoufides and Carrazzo, remained happy in becoming trailblazers for their Club in the high Guernseys.


This is probably a silly questions but here goes anyway :roll:
How do players end up with their numbers? Does the coach decide? do the players have any input? Why do they often change to lower numbers?

Can't really call Kouta a trailblazer in the high guernseys, given that Swannie played over 270 games in the #43 and held the AFL record for that number till last year...

I have a memory of Brent Heaver wearing #49 when he first came to us from the Demons.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

This is the Blueseum linked version, which is better for tracking through names and guernseys of interest:

http://www.blueseum.org/cfc/tiki-read_a ... ticleId=32

In respect of Heaver, buzzalenko would be right:

http://www.blueseum.org/cfc/tiki-index. ... uernsey+55

In respect of Kouta not being a trailblazer for high guernsey numbers, I don't know how to respond without saying 'garthp' (which I have promised myself I won't use!). Carrazzo is on record as saying that he kept #44 because he was close to Kouta in #43. Perhaps McKay was the first trailblazer of high jumper numbers...

I think you misunderstand me, Molsey. I'm not bagging Kouta. I just thought that given McKay played that many games in #43 (including 4 premierships), then really he was the trailblazer.

I think you've lost me with your entire point.
