CibbuanoFevola to wear No.5
December 17th 2009 05:57
PRIZED Brisbane recruit Brendan Fevola will wear the No.5 guernsey after wearing number 25 during his ten years at Carlton.
Fevola was forced to adopt a new number as 25 at the Lions belongs to untried ruckman Bart McCulloch.
The No.5 has been worn by some of the club's all-time greats including five-time Fitzroy best and fairest winner John Murphy, Brownlow Medallist Bernie Quinlan and dual premiership player Brad Scott.
Brisbane's other acquistions during trade week will also wear new numbers in 2010.
Former Richmond defender Andrew Raines has swapped his No.4 Tigers jumper for the No. 29 guernsey famously worn by Garry Wilson in 268 matches with Fitzroy while Brent Staker has abandoned the number 41 jumper he wore at West Coast for the 14 which used to belong to Lachlan Henderson who was traded to the Blues as a part of the Fevola deal.
Ex-St Kilda utility Xavier Clarke will don the No.15 after wearing No.3 at the Saints while former Sydney premiership player Amon Buchanan will wear the number 32 jumper after wearing No.33 at the Swans.
Callum Bartlett - the Lions' first selection at the 2009 national draft - will wear the no. 13 guernsey which was previously worn by three-time premiership player Martin Pike.
The club's third and fifth round selections at the national draft - Ryan Harwood and Jesse O'Brien - will wear 26 and 34 respectively.
Former St Kilda defender Matt Maguire who was taken with the last live pick in November's draft takes over the 36 vacated by Daniel Bradshaw.
Matt Austin will wear the No. 8 guernsey next season after playing eight matches in number 37.
Bryce Retzlaff, who was taken with pick 84 in the national draft, will wear number 37.
The Lions' recent rookie selections Mitchell Golby (41), Josh Dyson (27), Niall McKeever (40), Claye Beams (43), Sean Yoshiura (45) and Broc McCauley (46) have been allocated high numbers.
