Numero uno !
With Gram's shock departure , do we have anyone worthy to take over Number One ?
or should it be retired for a year or two , until one of our young recruits proves themselves .

Re: Numero uno !
No need to retire that one, surely... Just give it to a kid we like in the draft (e.g how Sipposs got number 2) or give it to one of the guys coming in like Hickey that they're pretty confident will play a big part in years to come.

Re: Numero uno !
No 1 has been worn by a Saints supporter for some time. Any of our players barrack for St Kilda before they started playing apart from Sippo? Maybe we could get Jessie WHite

Stevie Newport! I vaguely remember that guy being a solid player for a couple of season, is my memory accurate?cowboy18 wrote:I hope we can find someone suitable. It's a terrible blight on the Steve Newport legacy.
I'd give number one to Simpkin.

Re: Numero uno !
I am old fashioned , but i think the captain should be given the first right to wear number and if they dont want it, then nobody gets it.
It could be incorporated into a nice little cermony at the start of the year where the captain is officially given the number 1 jumper. Would make for a nice tradition.

#1 will always be John Bonney for me.
But I'd give it to Simpkin too.

Re: Numero uno !
I reckon if Raph gets the chop Simpkin should get #8. Id like to see #1 go to Tom Hickey and #35 go to Tom Lee.

Re: Numero uno !
I like the idea of Simpkin getting #1.
IMO #1 is the holiest of numbers at St Kilda & it was a bugbear of mine that average players like Newport, Devonport, Peckett & Gram have inherited it after Barks.

Re: Numero uno !
Frankie started & finished off well (with 97 being a brilliant year) but had plenty of supporters pulling their hair out in between. In his defence he was played out of position for a long time, really struggled as a defensive back pocket but was a very good winger who could kick the odd goal.HSVKing wrote:Bit rough on Frankie there I reckon.Animal Enclosure wrote:Newport, Devonport, Peckett & Gram
