Number Four

[Toy Saint]

Possibly the most respected number at St Kilda....Baldock, Breen, Lockett.........Templeton !

Eli did look exciting in last years NAB cup, flashing in with his golden locks and kicking a couple of goals....but giving him number four is premature at the very best, and at worst is downright disrespectful or a sad reflectection of the clubs ability to identify talent.

He was poor today but give him time. Singling him out after seven games is a little unfair.

The club clearly sees a future in him and I'll back them in. For what its worth, he has #4 due to the Tassie connection, one of which he was very proud of.

If he puts in a performance like that after 6 years on the list, then start asking questions.

christ sake its round one

[PJ]

Sorry Toy saint but that's just cr*p.

[Sainter_Dad]

Seriously - lets pot a young kid that may or may not make it in AFL football - a couple of games, seriously injured, did not smash it up in his first game back - can him!

#4 is important to St Kilda - but sorry - the only #4 that is important once the siren rings is Eli - and we should be behind him 110%

FFS Clinton Jones. Spare us the emotional drivel.

Early days

I am going to stick with #4. He has that x factor you cant learn. He may have 2nd year blues but he will be a crackerjack player.

[perfectionist]

He suffers from the same problem that too many at the club do - he's too small and is easily brushed aside. Today, it was literally a case of the midgets against the giants. Perhaps he needs a supplement program - as long as nobody knows what's in it, it will be OK by any AFL Tribunal. Our talent is not deep, so he'll get a few more opportunities to show some improvement, and after today's game, he can only improve.

Is that an Easter reference?

We looked like making a fair comeback late in the last as well.

Paul Morwood. Clinton Jones. Andrew Thompson. Joel Smith. Bob Hay. Geoff Feehan. Ken Mulhall.

[Schillaci]

It's a number. We have to give it to someone and seeing that it would be ridiculous to retire it any discussion about who gets it given where our list is at is dribble.

[Jacks Back]

I think we were a bit premature to elevate him off the rookie list. He just doesn't seem up to it just yet. IMHO

[saynta]

FFS Clinton Jones. Spare us the emotional drivel.

lol

[Animal Enclosure]

Nerve damage from his broken arm suggested he wouldn't play until later in the year...has worked his arse off & is miles ahead of schedule.

Had a bad day but is talented & hard working.

But yes, write him off now, add him to the list of lost causes with Acres, White, etc

[Bernard Shakey]

Robert Harvey wore number 35 and made it his own. He was offered lower numbers but declined.
Number 4 belongs to Doc.
Plugger was number 14 (he won a Brownlow in that number).
Number 7 belongs to Nicky and Lenny, two vastly different players!

They are just numbers and no one is better than any other!
