i'd love Mayne to wear it, but he already has the hallowed 23, so cant give that up.

i'd love it to go to Schammer. he seems to really be the new macca. not overly skilled, but always gives 100%. Always puts his body on the line

who do you think?

Both those guys are Macca-likes. I love the way they play - they are the future of our club.

Leave it for Little Macca - the oldest one.

The number should be retired until Macca chooses someone.

Mayne has the macca hairdoo so he will fit straight into the number 8. then put rhys into number 23!!!

All the young players have the ability to make a name for their own number. Hopefully the next guy to come through to put on the #8 has as much heart. Add #32 aswell for that matter.

Mayne wears the famous No 10 and he should keep it.

Mercury, did you mean Palmer?

Well spotted. Yes.

I Agree with Mercury!! The Number should be retired until Macca choose to give someone. If not make the rule that whoever our club captain must wear that number( no choice ).

retire the jumper for at least 3 years then we will know who has the heart big enough to wear it

That'll be 2011 Aggie, the year of our second Premiership, and we'll have a lot more to think about than who wears the hallowed no. 8. Such as dealing with the slime management's repeated whingeing requests to merge with Freo.

Earlier in this stream I said that the #8 should be saved for Macca's oldest boy - I have reconsidered:

Did anyone else see Channel 7's news Wednesday night - short report showing Macca running with Hasleby with the voiceover saying that even though he retired, he still showed up at training. That's only part of the story I reckon. He was running and talking with Paul and keeping him company during his rehab. If anyone knows about coming back from knee recons successfully, it is Macca. BTW, good to see Paul jogging.

Number 8 should stay empty until our Father-Son pick from ~2016.

Sadly,or maybe obviously,Maccas son has spoken more clearly than blockovich has all year.
The Kids to qualified to be in media and he cant even spell
S L I M E yet.

Now,shall we gather and prey over the sacred supliment,let it not be Chardonnay,or grape derived substance,and prey...
Oh mighty Clive,let us be delived upon a respondant to the calling,to reside in rightfull honour,upon the premiership alter as perscribed by those before,let he be of heart of Phar Lap,Courage of Macca,Skill of Sir Peter of the Belland let he bleed purple of the pure.
Till the -one- arrives we will await,with Patience,not the guns and roses song,but the fortitude of the purple eyed ones,for our next incarnation,for he is yet to be selected by the curly hair one,less the number be rested till the arrival of the "Chosen",he may be from within,or from beyong,but his arrival will be met with much rejoicing and praise from the outer.
all praise the "Chosen".

Hallelujah, for we are the freo Dockers.
Hallelujah, for we are the freo Dockers.
Hallelujah, for we are the freo Dockers.

Amen

He hasn't been drafted yet. Wait until November.
