    I think he'll change... What did he wear for Yeuendemu? Or perhaps he could do Wheels' 45 proud?

    If he was given his choice of any number i would bet he would choose 15

    Would like him to stay 48 personally

    Jurrah should try and get number 9, as long as it doesn't effect his performance.

    I don't care (not to be mean-spirited, it just doesn't bother me at all).

    I'd like to hear his opinion personally. If it were me i'd want to stick with the 48, but i'm a bit sentimental that way. The number I first played in would mean a lot to me.

    No.48 is fine by me too. He can make it his own.

    It won't bother me in the slightest if he gets another. I just want to watch him take those one handers and him kick those goals over his head.

    Did anyone see him pinpoint his kick to Miller for the first goal of the game? Genius.

    hope he stays 48, it suits him. I really don't know why people care about low numbers so much.

    Number 13 for Jackovich/Yze old number or 45 for Wheels old number.

    It was the first 30 seconds of the match and Liam had just been rewarded with a free kick for a solid tackle.... The pass to Miller was amazing!! He threaded it between about 4-5 Saints defenders and hit Miller lace out on the [censored].... That was the moment the commentators started to get moist!!!

    IMO, once you've got a number, and played in it, stick with it. Whilst I would have preferred Jurrah to have been given a lower number to begin with, now that he's got 48, just stick with it.

    Hopefully this year's crop of draftees will get some of the freed-up lower numbers. Maybe Blease and Strauss, who haven't debuted yet, could get lower numbers as well.

    Doesn't really matter, though. It's just a number.

    Is there anything else about Darren Cuthbertson you'd like Liam to emulate? Fortunately he can't follow Brent Grigic, whose best footy was played in #48 before going to #4.

    Players performing well early in their careers moving from #48? "Bad call, Hutchy!"

    Longevity and potency up forward!

    I would love to see someone, ANYONE from MFC kick some 8+ goal hauls. How long ago did we see that? Cuthbertson did that at least a couple of times.

    Nah, not quite. He kicked 7 two weeks in a row, followed by 5 the next week and that was all. Other than that he kicked mostly 1's and 2's.

    On topic, I couldnt care less what number Liam wears. So long as it's a Melbourne jumper, he can do what he likes. Make the 48 his own I say.

    I'd take 7...

    I would like to him stay with the same number simply because there are probably 100's of kids with 48 on their back now. My son put 39 on his jumper last year for Aussie only to see him change to 33 at the start of this season. I have to keep telling him who 39 is now.

    48 isn't a footy number, it's more a Greg-Blewett's-best-score-in-Perth-number.

    9 or 13.

    Perhaps we could follow Richmond's idea and make our longest serving Captain's number into the number all the captains wear. Junior goes to number 9, freeing up 23 for LJ. Jurrah will fit right in with the likes of Jordan and Le Bron James.

    Immediate product warning.....

    Plus, I'm not big on it as an idea anyway. Collingwood used to do it as well - #1 was capt, #2 vice-capt, #3d-v-c.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
