Numbers

[plugger66]

King 2, 4 not taken, McEvoy 5, Schneider 13, Steven 34, Conners 37 not sure of the rest but no current player has changed numbers apparently.

[Sobraz]

4 not taken?? how does it work for signiicant numbers.. would 4 be offered to someone, or is it up for grabs??

[SaintBot]

the main thing is gilbert is still 19

interesting looking at the rubbish/official site, of course no mention of these numbers yet, but look at how old the photos are of some of the players......it shouldn't be to hard to get updated snaps each year - unless they have to pay big $$$ for a pro shooter to come out and do it!!

Thats's right. I don't wana have to change numbers. He can make 19 his own.

our most famous number. baldock, lockett, breen, thommo ... also a few duds. who would get it next?

i would have thought gilbert as the other guys such as roo, dal, kosi, etc have pretty much already made their numbers their own while gilbert's relatively new in the game.

has it been retired, i wonder?

[ausfatcat]

no way has it been retired, but in recent history players had to earn that number in a saints jumper. Ie wasn't Locketts origonal number and hasn't tommo's origonal jumper number either.

[On the Bench]

Plugger66 thanks for the update. It's always appreciated.

Do we know what numbers have been given to Dempster and Charlie Gardiner yet?

Sorry if I missed it in a previous post.

Didn't big tony make #14 his 'own' before changing to #4 after all; he had played 80 games, won a brownlow and kicked 300 goald (117 in 1987)

Exactly right. Thommo may have started in 14 as well (can't really remember now) but I remember Burkey playing in number 29. Anyone remember Kosi and X-man's numbers before they inherited the numbers they now wear?

[St Fidelius]

X was #20

[saintbrat]

so does mini keep #32?
golly plugger66 you left us more questions than answers

Kosi was 24 before he became 23
X was 20 befpore he became 3
Bakes was 29 before he became 10
Grammy was 15 before he became 1
Harves was 52 before 35
Joey was 28 before 11

saintspremiers- the photos on the saints site were updated early this year- apart from the new guys and as usual its around the time the guys are THE hairdos or the Preseaon ' what style will we go this year' ;look
or the 'oh no here comes the photographer again' look.
no doubt the new ones will be up around April again- although march would be good- when they do the photography for the team photo and the photos they sell.

Burke was also 29 before 3 and Aussie was 29 before 5.

[milney044]

thomo was also 29 before 4
thats burkie, aus bakes and thomo all wearing 29 before changing so... big things to come from rixy?

[LTN16]

I think the numbers will look something like this:

2- King
4- Armitage
5- McEvoy
9- Gehrig
13- Schneider
20- Steven
24- C.Gardiner
28- Dempster
32- McQualter
34- Conners
37- Chivers
41- Miles
45- Haretuku

true. plugger had to earn the famous No. 4.

i still remember the picture of doc, who was coach at the time, handing it over to him.

i think breen also played quite a few games wearing another number before inheriting 4.

he kicked his wobbly point wearing something else (was it 27? someone here will know).

so there is a precedent for it going to someone who has earned his stripes ... perhaps kosi, roo or dal santo should take it.

Kosi wont take it, that would be the ultimate insult to Stewie Leowe....
Out of our established players I would say that Sammy Fisher would be the most likely, but personally I reckon they might use it as an incentive for our younger players to try and achieve...

Barry Breen wore 44(1965),27(1966-67),17(1968-71) & 4 (1972-82) according to West of Moorabbin.

Armo hasnt got 4. No one has. An d the other numbers as i said so Chivers hasnt got 37. Try 41 .

If you read your first post again you never said that Chivers had 41.

I was just guessing what I thought the jumper numbers would be. But someone will get the #4
