There are at least nine guernsey numbers up for grabs at Port Adelaide for 2019 giving the club’s three new recruits plenty of choice.

Scott Lycett could take on the number 29 he wore in 75 games at West Coast after the departure of Jasper Pittard but Dougal Howard currently occupies the number 32 that Sam Mayes wore in 101 games for Brisbane, and Matthew Broadbent has made the number 5 his, meaning Ryan Burton is unlikely to be able to keep the number he wore at Hawthorn.

While generally players opt for numbers inside 45, former forward Lindsay Thomas gave up number 48 when he retired at the end of the season, making him one of the rare breed to seek a higher number.

Here is a brief overview of the numbers the new recruits could take on.
