Father-son selection Jackson Mead will adopt the number 44, most famously worn by Power cult hero Tom Logan, while the club’s father-son rookie selection Trent Burgoyne will wear number 31, last worn by Aidyn Johnson.

Dylan Williams has taken up the number 34 after Sam Mayes opted to change to number 32.

Lastly, rookie selection Jake Pasini will wear number 48, worn by Nathan Krakouer and Lindsay Thomas previously.

Late last month, Dan Houston, Todd Marshall, Mayes and new recruit Wylie Buzza also received new jumper numbers.

Houston will wear number five, last represented by Matthew Broadbent, Marshall will take over number four from close mate Paddy Ryder, Buzza will wear Marshall’s old number 13 and Mayes took 32.

Tom Jonas will also wear the number one as the Power returned to a sole skipper after a season with co-captains.
