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

Would like him to stay 48 personally

I think it was Rudeboy who told us that Liam would love to wear #15. I seem to recall its the number that both he and his father wore when playing for Yuendumu Magpies..

    Stick with 48 for another year. Would like to see him take on the 23 though from Junior.

    Majak Daw? Give him no. 51. Could make it his own like Shuan Rehn did with the 52. Ha Ha!

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

    Keep him in No 48. We won a premiership in '48. Might be a good omen.

    I want Liam to keep number 48 for his entire career. It suits him.

    It is a unique number for a unique player.

    By the end of his career he will be the most famous number 48 of all time in AFL/VFL history.

    He will make that number famous.

    I spoke with him at the Demon Ball about this. I told him I wanted to put his number on my sons jumper but would be filthy if he changed it. He said he has been offered a lower number but his locker is empty and wants to create his own history in that number. It is number 48 to stay. BTW great bloke - more than happy to talk to us.

    I'm superstitious, don't change it. Remember what happened when the last Wiz changed from 33 to 8?

    And Greg Blewett was my favourite player and is still my favourite player of all time. He had the most stylish cover drive I've ever witnessed and he pulled the ball better than Ponting. When he was on, he was brilliant to watch. He basically made me follow the Redbacks...that and I was born in Adelaide. Proud Victorian in the winter months and South Australian in the summer.:P

    He should, and will, make 48 his own.

    And Blewett was quality!

    Good news. Stick with 48, LJ!

    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.

    loved it, especially because I had 5 on miller at 16-1 to kick the first goal

    I still have no 48 on my jumper from when Darren Cuthburtson was strutting his stuff, Jurrah is a worthy heir to his throne.

    Good to see someone else on the Majak Daw bandwagon. I've seen him a lot this season and he kept improving every week.

    Along with Jurrah he could be another cult hero down at the Dees.

    If he is keen to keep it, fine.

    And Blewett was rubbish and you all know it.

    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.

    In 15 years time, I hope we will be talking about up and coming potential stars and saying... I think we should give them number 48!

    A good thread for my first post. ;) I agree with most that Jurrah should keep the number 48 and make it his own, though I still wouldn't mind if he changed to a lower number either. I'd choose number 9. Just as long as he doesn't change it soon after I get 48 on my new jumper next year. :lol:

      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.
