Jurrah's had a break out year for the MFC, and has clearly earnt a number change.

should he change? what to?

i hope he dosen't, he could be the best no. 48 the AFL has ever seen.

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

48 Crash is fine by 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.

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.

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

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!"

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.

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
