St Kilda has finalised its playing numbers ahead of the 2017 season, with all new recruits allocated guernseys and some familiar faces inheriting famous numbers.

Exciting young gun Jade Gresham will wear No. 4 next season, a number made famous in red, white and black by Tony Lockett, Darrel Baldock and Barry Breen, while another budding youngster Jack Sinclair has received Robert Harvey’s iconic No. 35.

Recently acquired midfielder Koby Stevens will continue in the No. 25 he wore at the Western Bulldogs, while former Giant Jack Steele will wear No. 9 and former Collingwood premiership defender Nathan Brown will run out in No. 22.

St Kilda’s first pick in last Friday night’s National Draft, Ben Long, has received No. 21, while fellow draftees Josh Battle and Ed Phillips have been allocated No. 26 and No. 30 respectively.

The Saints’ sole selection in Monday’s Rookie Draft, Rowan Marshall, has been handed No. 43.

Irish recruits, Darragh Joyce and Ray Connellan, won’t have to look far for each other in the locker room at Linen House Centre, with the pair receiving No. 39 and No. 40.

While New Zealand international rookie, Barclay Miller, has been allocated No. 47, next to two other overseas products in Jason Holmes and Joe Baker-Thomas.
