In Geelong versus Mebourne, why was Harry Taylor wearing jumper number 85?

Question

Why was Harry Taylor for gee long wearing jumper number 85? When he normally wears 7.

Answer 1

Because he had 2 blood noses and got blood over his own 2 shirts so they had to give him a spare to wear..

Answer 2

Because he felt like it, he can ware what he wants

Answer 3

Strauchanie will be devo that someone has a higher number than him lol

Answer 4

Because his jumper got ripped (or something happened to it) causing him to need a new one however there was no spare number 7 jumpers, so they went with number 85. i don't know how they had a number 85 jumper but not a number 7 one. it's weird.

Answer 5

I think the reason he didn't have a spare shirt was because the had a one-off strip for the heritage game. Normally they would have 1 or 2 spare jumpers to change into if one became unwearable.

As to why they actually had a jumper lying around with the number 85 on it is anyones guess...

Answer 6

Yes.

The rules say that every player should be supplied with 2 shirts and can only wear a different number once they are not able to use the other 2. Taylor had to go of with the blood rule 2 times. The first two shirts couldnt be worn again because of the blood rule and so he got another one...... i duno why he couldnt have had a lower number lol
