Don't hold your breath on that. I haven't heard that Bruce has declined as yet.

Exactly!

Would be a real shame for them both to decline given the club envisioned them in those numbers - would've been a real kick for some die hard supporters.

it's going to be great to see number 4 and 35 on game day again, gee I miss Clint Jones.

Koby #25 according to Jaxons

Why do we keep upgrading numbers ???? why would Bruce go from 27 to 9,there's no point why can't a player make their own number famous.
It would be good to see Mc Cartin make 32 his own or Bruce make 27 a number we all want to wear, it also takes unnecessary pressure off those players.

 

[Armoooo]

Huge show of faith in Sinclair, really hope he can step up as he has so much class.

Would love for him to become the next Sam Mitchell!

If I remember right, Montagna has had 3 number upgrades 28>15> and now 11, just think he could of been the most decorated 28 we ever had.

 

[Highlander35]

Players should more or less have free reign (by seniority and availability) as to what number they want to be in IMO.

I prefer my draftees/unproven tradees to start high and move low though. Not saying you can't give single digits and teens to younger players, but Crocker and Markworth had 9 and 10 respectively and neither played a game, and that just seems silly.

But now it can be Members

Didn't Billings wear number 9 during his junior career?? I think he will keep 15 but he'd definitely suit number 9!

Kids can put his number on their backs using... Stickers...

Bruce is probably thinking of kids who went out and got jumpers with 27 too. There are plenty of them these days.

 

[Murraj1966]

Will we be getting one today?

Good question, we don't know

Minchington #30

Minchington #30

Interesting... Wouldn't have seen him as getting a new number.

 

[Barrels]

Minchington #30

Last five wearers;

2013-2015: Brodie Murdoch - 22 games
2010-2012: Brett Peake - 43 games
2007: Brad Howard - 2 games
2005-2006: Mark McGough - 12 games
2001-2003: Daniel Wulf - 30 games

Avg: 21.8 games

2013- : Darren Minchington - 23 games

Hope it's not a curse! Needs a change of luck that guernsey...

Something like Brian Gleeson - (70 games); 1957 Brownlow, 1957 B&F, 4-time state representative - will do.

 

[Baughb]

Kinda hope Bruce sticks with 27. I liked that Jason Blake handed it to him and I couldn't think of a better person to emulate, even though he was limited he made the most of what he had, great St Kilda bloke.

 

[austinnn]

I don't have any idea if he actually is - I was just thinking a left field number change fwiw though I do think he'll change numbers at some point in his St. Kilda career

I doubt it at this stage.

Frankly there's not much between 30 and 41 in terms of prestige.

Nah I rekon Meatball is #41 for life now. If he can start finding the pill at AFL level itll help. Needs more time in the guts!

Totally. I think if you created a reel of all our clearances this year, a few of his would be up in the top 10. They just made me go, "Ooh...".

I asked at the BnF and he said he didn't want to change. Wanted to make it his own.

I hope he doesn't change

I think it was the Geelong game, he was on fire early. I remember in one match he kept doing stuff that he's not done before, think it was that game.
