I feel CJ should be no. 8.Lenny = legend wrote: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
It's numerically linked with his familiar 38. And there's a strong character link with Max's dogged loyalty (and non-silken skills). A good match.
I'd like Jack Steven to get no. 3. I can see the spirit of Burkey living on through Steven.
I was thinking of Zac for 3 or 4 too. (I wouldn't altogether mind if Steven were given 4) But I somehow think Dawson will stick with 43 for the rest of his career -- in acknowledgement of his last-chance humble beginnings at St Kilda. I think there's a sense of honour attached to self-effacing obscurity -- especially when you become a champion at what you're doing.
Peake might get 34 -- adds up to his old number 7
If Bally goes into the PSD, and we pick up a recycled player in return, give him number 14.
Eddy and Geary don't quite deserve a lower number yet. Wait and see.
Don't use 35 until the right player comes along. Maybe the same for 4.
