Me too. Wouldn't seem right otherwise. The tradition of the first pick getting 35 has only been going 5 minutes so we just boot it I reckon.
Plus Callum Brown is such a dead ringer for his dad it'll seem surreal.

Unfortunately Jez, too many f*ckwits in the club administration sabotaging our sentimentality:
A special way to announce our jumper numbers:
Brown: 17
Daicos: 26
Kirby: 27
McLarty: 35
New names, new numbers + new legacies #startsnow

Bugger sentimentality.... 
I would much rather these two blokes make their own indelible marks in their very own numbers.

No it will go to Brayden Sier as he is yet to play in it!

Forge your own path boys. Make a number your own. Clearly Cal Brown or his old man didn't want him in 26.

| Personally I wouldn't want to saddle either of these lads with any more pressure than what will be on them anyway with there fathers special place in our history. Let the boys create there own place and choose whatever jumper numbe they want |

| Quote: | JOSH Daicos will wear the number 26 Gavin Brown made famous at Collingwood, while Callum Brown will take on No.17 as the two father-sons set about making their own name at the Magpies.
Josh's famous father Peter played 250 games in No.35 for Collingwood and Callum's dad, Gavin Brown, played 254 games in No.26, with both being part of the Magpies' drought breaking 1990 premiership.
Collingwood CEO Gary Pert said Josh Daicos and Callum Brown wanted to carve their own path wearing numbers different to those their famous fathers wore.
"It was a request from the players," Pert said. |

Glad they haven't copied their father's numbers. It places too many expectations - damn it, its hard enough playing than having any extra burden applied that you're supposed to live up to. Let them make their own way.
Good luck to all our newbies, let's hope they all have great careers and contribute to the ongoing success of our great club. |
