Available Numbers

Post: # 847221Post Lenny = legend »

There are some significant guernsey numbers free at st kilda now:
3
8
35 (unlikely to be used again)
4
14 (if bally leaves)
etc

Do you think any current players will change their number or these numbers will be eventually taken by recruits and draftees? eg: Peake

Mini could move down to #3 (not only b/c he would appreciate Burkey but he's also close with X)

Imagine if Zac moved to #8 ha!

On a side note, interesting to see that X (through no fault of his own, injuries, death of his father, etc) never truly lived up to his potential that saw Burkey present him with his old number...in hindsight it should've been given to Ball.

Yep at the time i thought it should have gone to Ball too. Funny that as it turns out, both look to be leaving.

Zac MUST be given #8 after a fantastic season at full back....We got him for NOTHING and he played a MASSIVE role in our (almost) success this year.

We can't have him running around in #43 next year!

I had a scary thought today about our numbers...


In 1997 (31 years since premiership) Jamie Shanahan was full back (Number 31).

In 2009 (43 years since premiership) Zac Dawson was full back (Number 43).


What do we do about that????


I guess don't play Milney at full back!


They walk amongst us...

Good post

I feel that Zac (once promoted off the rookie list) will get a different number next season


Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

Agree. Don't really buy into this retiring a jumper crap.

My thoughts exactly and I'm sure Robert Harvey doesn't think the number should be retired.

35 wasn't handed on because Harves is not into that sort of crap.

The only numbers that have been personally handed on were Stewie giving Kosi #23 and I remember at the time Kosi said he wanted to make his own history.

Burkie handed over the #3 to X.

Let the players make their own number famous.

I dont think #35 should be retired..but I do think due diligence should be given to who is offered it. Banger is and will always be a very special part of our history

Yes its just a number, but St Pauls Cathedral is just a church and I havent seen any plans to pull it down and replace it with something more modern that works as a church too

Gram to fullback.
That should do it.



edit: oops that would only work if we'd actually won it this year.
I'm in a strange place tonight.
