The Western Bulldogs’ five off-season recruits have received their new guernsey numbers for the 2020 AFL season.

Trade period acquisitions Josh Bruce and Alex Keath will inherit their numbers from a pair of retired 2016 premiership players.

Bruce will continue the trend of having a seven on the back of his guernsey – inheriting number 17 from Tom Boyd.

The key forward previously wore the number 27 at St Kilda, and 47 at GWS Giants.

Keath will remain in the same number he wore at the Adelaide Crows – 42 – vacated by Liam Picken.

Sitting to Bruce’s right in the locker room will be draftees Louis Butler and Cody Weightman.

Butler will take on premiership defender Fletcher Roberts’ number 18, and Weightman will don the number 19 previously worn by Lukas Webb.

Riley Garcia will have Jason Johannisen and Roarke Smith as locker buddies, as he steps into the number 38 guernsey made famous by Dale Morris.

Morris will have a hands-on role with Garcia as a development coach, as the draftee continues to recover from an ACL injury in his first season at the Kennel.
