Number 5
So who will be given the prestigious number 5 from 2021
to follow the likes of Aussie Jones, Joffa Cunninghham, Ian Stewart, Barry Lawrence, Gilbert McAdam
Higgins
Crouch - did he have the number at crows?
Howard - bring him up the order from 20
Next unused numbers are 22 & 27 (24 to Frawley being Dan's old number)
I would like to see some longevity in the number - so probably Higgins for me

Re: Number 5
Why don't footy teams use much higher numbers, can they if they want to? For example 55, 66 or 99.

Re: Number 5
They used to. I guess the lists got smaller or something. No. 60 Robert Mace comes to mind.

Re: Number 5
I think a player like Jack Higgins is potential cult figure material at the Saints and so why not go for a number that has the potential to become iconic. We had an iconic 44, why not a 55 or 66. Jack could pull it off.

Re: Number 5
I'd like Higgins but suspect Crouch, unless Crouch decides on 22 to be twice the player his brother is.
Betting man says...
5 Crouch
22 Higgins
Of course Paton may ask for an upgrade unless he's bidding his time to inherit Geary's number.

Re: Number 5
Crouch had #2 at the crows, likely to get 5 with us, Higgins had 22 at training this week & Allison had 30...Frawley is likely to get his uncle's original #24.
