The Brisbane Lions have assigned jumper numbers ahead of the 2017 season.
Defender Sam Skinner will take on retired Lion Daniel Merrett's number 21 jumper.
Merrett played 200 games for the Lions over 14 seasons.
19-year-old Skinner is recovering from his second ACL injury.
Meanwhile, Cian Hanley will wear the number 11 jumper most recently worn by his older brother Pearce who was traded to the Gold Coast SUNS in October.
Cian has battled injury since being drafted as an international rookie at the end of the 2014 season.
New recruit Jack Frost will don the number 45, the same number he wore playing for Collingwood.
Ruckman Matt Eagles has taken on Skinner's number 41 Guernsey.
