What number should MRJ wear? should Danny hand 17 over?

I voted no. Danny has worn it in 3 premierships and made it his own IMO

I reckon MRJ should wear the old mans south free no.49

interested to see what 100 or so PRE'ers reckon

If Daniel does decide to hand it over I'd prefer he get over 100 games (95 currently) in it first that way hopefully they can both have their name on that locker.

Snr did also wear #27.

Maybe Junior has his own favourite number he'd like to wear?

Hs he worn a particular number across teams for our gurus out there?

Noticed Campbell and Johnson are on the no. 17 locker. They didn't play 100 games.

Daniel Rioli has played in 3 premierships in the #17 and should keep that number as he has already proven to be AFL quality and will play over 200 games at Richmond.

MJ should take #16 and if he really wants to honour the old man Daniel is 4-5 years older and he can have maybe his last year in the #17 for Dad or the last 3-4 years if he wants.

If I was MJ though i would be waiting for the #9 to become available

Rioli senior wore 27 his last two years at Richmond.

didn't realise that.

Hunter S. would hand it over willingly you think?

I'd like to see MRJ in no.49

him and Marlion would be the most sublime 49/50 combo in history, surely?

Daniel will play this year in the #17 to get to 100 games and then hand it over. Expect MRJ to get a number in the 30's this year

I agree with most posters.
Dan to 100 games in 17.
MJ to start in 27 as worn by his Dad. (as mentioned by craig)
End of next year Dan to 16.
MJ to 17.

Dan wears 17, that is that. Can't see any reason why he should give it up.

Maurice Jnr should be found an appropriate number and I would think 18 would be perfect, right next door.

Maurice's father might have been a star but Dan has 3 premierships and Maurice Jnr is just starting, I see no reason to give him the jumper in place of a player who is currently playing.

27 is Thompson Dow.

Maybe give Dow 18 & Jnr 27.

27 is an excellent #. I wore it for many many years.:cool:

#4 has always been my number

just coincidental that all my favorite players have worn the same number
