It's a new number for the key defender. He wore 47 at Brisbane, 52 at Gold Coast and was number 12 at West Adelaide for the last two seasons.
Shannon Watt holds the record for most games played in 36 with 155. He spent 12 seasons at North Melbourne from 1998 to 2009, originally selected with pick 14 in the 1997 National Draft.
Meanwhile youngster Kayne Turner will be number 40. The 17-year-old inherits a jumper worn by Peter Chisnall in the 1975 premiership.

Chisnall has also played the most games in 40 with a total of 57 between 1974 and 1976. If Turner develops as expected, he could make the jumper his own over the next few years.
