WINDERS!

Can I ask why people think Winderlich deserves the #5 top? So far in 6 years of footy, he has had 1 and a half good seasons.

He's just starting to find his feet, some people develop slower than others. He is still a young kid. He has speed, skills and determination. Had a bloody good year Definetley in our top 5 players this year. Wouldn't be as hasty and give him the no 5 top straight away, but he looks like he could be a top candidate

Just to be different I'll suggest that if it's held over for a little bit then maybe Bachar will get it. He's got courage, discipline, and ability. If he ends up putting it all together on the park then not only would he be a valuable asset but a role model worthy of wearing Number 5.

Yeah if he ever gets a game, he showed really good signs in his first couple of games, then for some reason he was dumped. Kicked a couple of good goals, got a lot of the footy, played extremely well for Bendigo, still wasn't enough. Hopefully he'll get a proper shot with the new coach.

Rosso, I think Winders may be a chance because Hirdy is a really big rap for him.

Isnt number 8 sufficiently prestigious for Winderlich?

Suggesting he gets number 5 is ludicrous. No hard feelings Licha but you are not in the same ball park as Hird....

...then again, who is?

it should got to daniher after we get him in the draft.

Should be rested for at least a year. Needs to be given to someone who WILL BE a star, not someone we think might be.

Hopefully they only give it to someone if Hirdy speaks up and nominates a player.

and also, I dont think players should hand their old number on to an annointed one

It should always remain the club's choice.

The number ultimately belongs to the club and as great as Hird was, he is not bigger, nor greater than the club

As people have stated he already has bewick's so realistcally he wont change (forgot this little detail myself

), but my reasoning is simply how hard he runs, but on reflection, there was one guy who ran harder still, what about ALWYN!

Yeah I know I know....I guess I`m just very skeptical given the development of some of the guys we took when we drafted poorly.

I wouldn`t want the number 5 given to the next McAlister.

But I know what you`re saying...

What about Nashy. I reckon he is the only player within the team who demonstrates the levels of skills worthy of the number 5.

And he's already proven to be likely to miss a few weeks due to injury

What's wrong with his number 8?

It has to be Paddy Ryder.

He is going to be our next genuine chance of a "Once in a decade" footballer.
