Who should take Trevor Barker's old number?

[saintspremiers]

Well we've had Craig Devenport, Frankie Peckett and Stalker Gram as the past owners.

Who now will take on the famous number 1 guernsey??

My vote is Rhys Stanley. He's our future megastar forward/ruckman IMO. The only real young player that has the current hallmarks of being a champion.

Tommy Lee - rockstar name - could be a superstar in the making

[Bernard Shakey]

Don't forget Stephen Newport also wore it.

[perfectionist]

And don't forget Abe Vigoda!

[Eastern]

The romantic in me says that we should give it to someone that we Draft from Sandringham Dragons. I wonder if there are any such kids on our radar? !!

[Pwoit]

Its usually reserved for a player that followed the saints before being drafted.

[Heidelberg_Saint]

It should be preserved for someone worthy, which I don't beileve any one requiring number promotion is quite there yet.

[plugger66]

It should be given out to anyone. Its a number justn like 24 or 35.

[The darkness]

Tommy Lee should get the drumsticks #11

[vacuous space]

I still think Gears in number 8 would be great.

[Cairnsman]

Its usually reserved for a player that followed the saints before being drafted.

Sippo?

Sippo?

Do you really think he wants an upgrade from #2 to #1? I think he's happy with what he's got.

[Cairnsman]

Pwoit said it was reserved for a player that followed the Saints before being drafted. Isn't that Sippo?

Anyway it sounds like you have spoken to him about the subject so I'm sorry for being so silly.

[White Winmar]

No one, retire it permanently.

[saintbob]

Seb Ross

[Gwilt Edged]

Tommy Curren for the No 1

Would like to see Tom Lee get Gehrig's old number

The next key defender we draft (Sandy's Xavier Richards wouldn't hurt) = No 8

18 for Dunell, and 35 for Vlastuin if we're lucky enough for him to slip to us

[hungry for a premiership]

No one, retire it permanently.

don't like the idea of retiring a number like they do in basketball. In footy we like to keep the spirit of the number alive.

I agree with you in principle, but in Barks case there are exceptional circumstances. His incredible loyalty, sacrifices both physical and financial and his tragic premature death. Barks is the spirit of St.Kilda. That's why I'd make an exception in this case.

whoever wants it.

Yeah maybe if it was done the year after he died but not now after almost 20 years it would be silly to retire it

[bergsone]

Always liked the Capt...1 VC...2,But understand some players not wanting to change

[Spinner]

1 - Lee
8 - Stanley
9 - Hickey
18 - Simpkin
35 - 1st draft pick in 2012

[saintbrat]

I wonder if Jay lever would be offered it in our 140th year as a touch of history for a non relative-- or could he be a relative?

player number 233 #1 Lever, Harry 1886-01-05 178cm 76kg 218 gms 6gls
