STAR Collingwood recruit Daniel Wells has been handed the No.3 guernsey at the Pies, taking it from recently retired premiership player Brent Macaffer.

And former Giant Will Hoskin-Elliott has taken Travis Cloke's 32, while retired Brownlow medallist Dane Swan will see his No.36 on the back of teenager Brayden Sier, who has changed from No.35.

Wells, the former Kangaroo, wore No.8 during his 243-game career with North Melbourne.

Macaffer requested No.3 in his final four seasons in honour of his friend, the late John McCarthy.

New defender Lynden Dunn will don No.15 after previously wearing No.14 at the Demons. Fellow recruit Chris Mayne will sit next to him in the change rooms with No.16 after wearing No.23 at the Dockers.

Father-son draftees Callum Brown (No.17) and Josh Daicos (No.26) were handed their numbers last month, with Sam McLarty grabbing the traditional No.35 as the club's first draft selection. Kayle Kirby will wear No.27.

Mitch McCarthy has taken the retired Alan Toovey's No.34, while Henry Schade (No.41), Liam Mackie (No.44) and Max Lynch (No.45) make up the rest of Collingwood's list.
