Re: Jumper Numbers
I like that jumper with candy stripes on the long sleeves too there Dave.
Was Bryan Mynot no2? And Garry Sidebottom?
Was Stephen Newport no1? And Frankie Peckett?
St Kilda has has some strange number choices.
Trivia Question
Who was the best player to where the highest number at St Kilda.
(Don’t say Shane Grambeau, it is surely higher than that? Maybe 50s?)
Wear the f is my brain.
It is speaks wear!

Re: Jumper Numbers

Re: Jumper Numbers
Since Keeler and Phillipou are the only ones wearing socks and sandals it looks like SA is still 50 years behind the times!
its time to make a name for yourself like you've never made before!

In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

Re: Jumper Numbers
why don't we ever see numbers higher than 44 become cool also...55, 66, 77, 88, 99.
66 is an obvious cool number, imagine if the unthinkable happened and we won a 2nd flag and there was a player wearing 66.

Re: Jumper Numbers
From memory, the AFL came out a few years ago and said that clubs couldn’t go higher than 50 for player numbers. Couldn’t remember the reasoning, but something to do with it wasn’t needed.
It’s also why permanently retiring numbers (like spuds #2) doesn’t happen like it does in American sports, because we wouldn’t be left with many numbers.
I think the VFL start with 51? For non afl aligned players.

Re: Jumper Numbers
If #2 is in temporary hibernation due to the Spud factor, I think a great fit would be Cal Wilkie if he want to wear it.
Wilkie embodies everything about a clubman, selfless, humble, team oriented, durable and a very, very good player.
