Eight numbers have found new homes for Season 2021, with St Kilda’s AFLW playing guernseys confirmed ahead of the new year.
Alice Burke will fill the esteemed No. 3 guernsey – the same number worn by her father, St Kilda legend Nathan Burke – as she prepares for her first season at the elite level.
First-round draft pick Tyanna Smith will inherit the No. 6, with fellow draftees Jacqui Vogt and Renee Saulitis set to don the No. 10 and No. 13 respectively.
Jessica Matin moves into No. 19, leaving Clara Fitzpatrick’s No. 24 vacant for when she returns in 2022.
It leaves Bianca Jakobsson with No. 8, Tahlia Meyer with No. 34 and Jadye Van Dyk with No. 36; the guernsey which she wore as both a Blue and Hawk (VFLW).
No players from the club’s inaugural season have changed their guernsey numbers heading into Season 2021.
