After Round 1 1986 when we debuted Kernahan, Motley, Dorotich and Bradley - and Hawthorn proceeded to flog us with Platten as nearly BOG in his first game - Wes Lofts was heard to say after the game we got the wrong interstate recruit.

I'm sure Juddy has had his fair share of pie.

In honour of the catalyst for our previous revival (leading to 8 premierships in 27 years) we should give him #31

He shouldn't wear a number, he should wear a sign, he's too good for numbers.

i agree with godisnavyblue. give him 31...the last great move between clubs and now this one.

Carlton 2012: Lets remind them why they once feared the Dark.

If Lance and Saddo get shown the door, I'd expect Judd to be offered #9 or #8.

I think Synbad mentioned in the Judd thread that Murph would have to forfeit #3 if Judd came on board. I don't like that at all and if I was Murph I'd say "find your own number".

A similar thing happened a few years back when Lockett came back to Sydney. He wanted the #4 again, but Ben Matthews had it and refused to give it up.

Plugger then settled for #2.

33?

murphy = 3

judd = something else

simple.

And there are enough ... to answer the original question (I don't know if it's actually been answered) ...

8 (I think that's a foregone conclusion, people)

10

12

15

27

35

36

41

42

Let's leave 43 out of it for now, shall we? And I don't think players should be asked to give their numbers up .. the only time someone should change numbers is if they want to, for example, give Aisake the #43 when that number comes out of retirement

I thought he wore #46...

Nick Davis would have had 2 by then wouldn't he?

Problem solved. No-one thinks as clearly as you Deano.

..yeah i'm a huge fan of other sports such as soccer having the name & number on the back.. ..looks great.. ..AFL should make it happen.. ..also would be good to see in years to come the name & number on yer own guernsey so you'd know whether yer 25 is a fev or jezz..
