St Kilda have announced the guernsey numbers for its six new recruits, as well as two existing players swapping their numbers.
Second-year ruckman Jack Hayes will be handing in his no. 47 for the recently departed Paddy Ryder's 18, whilst last year's top draftee Mitch Owens is swapping in his no.24 for no.10.
New recruit Zaine Cordy has taken on the no. 21 which was previously owned by utility Ben Long.
Top 10 draft pick Mattaes Phillipou will wear the no. 25 in his first season at the club, which is the number he wore whilst playing for Woodville-West Torrens.
Phillipou has previously stated that he wanted to wear no.2 in his debut season, but St Kilda announced that out of respect for the late Danny Frawley, the no.2 would remain vacant for at least another season.
New defender James Van Es will be a few doors down from Phillipou after inheriting the no. 31 which was last worn by defender Jarrod Lienert.
The rest of the draftees - Olli Hotton, Isaac Keeler and Angus McLennan will all be neighbours after taking on numbers 39, 40 and 41 respectively.
Former captain Jarryn Geary's no. 14 does not yet have an owner, but with the Saints having two Supplemental Selection Period list spots available to them, it could be snapped up before the start of next season.
