Well, with all the hysteria and doomsaying on the other threads, let's move on to a lighter topic surrounding the fallout of Brock's departure:

Who gets number 5?

Scully?

Trengove?

Pick 11/18?

Second year player? (Blease, Strauss, etc)

Off the top of my head, there's not too much history involved, Schwartz the only significant #5 I'm aware of.

Let the debate begin!!! :D

Give it to the first pick if they want it, if not, go down the draft list or to a current player who wants to change numbers... Maybe Wona or Jurrah? No need to fluff around.

Excuse me...? What are you on about? It's a number... Do you think it should be retired for a season?

This is not a Brock-bashing thread, this is simply a discussion about who should wear number 5 next season.

why dont you refund his 10,000.

Give it to JURRAH! Bring back the High leaping Number 5 to the "G".

I would like to see a top young player get the famous number 31 jumper (worn by the great Ronald Dale Barassi) for the Demons.

But numbers 9 and 5 should also be highly prized.

Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with players making a NEW number (such as Liam Jurrah in 48) "famous" in their own right.

I hope it's some one I like, I took the 5 off my back after Schwartz then bought a new one with the 5 ironed on for the Chooka.

I hope Scully gets it, knowing my luck some dud will get it.

would you give back his 10,000?

No I wouldn't.

He made the donation out of good heart. If other club presidents or players made a donation to DD, would you refuse simply because they are not part of MFC? I am sure he would not begrudge the donation now when he is leaving.

Take it back? He has absolutely no right or reason to take back his money.

He is obviously enough of a good-natured person to donate $10,000 in the first place. Do you really think he would demand his money back simply because he is changing clubs? He has made that donation to the club and he committed to it. Only a pathetic low-life like yourself would consider asking for a donation back.

Go back and play on bigfooty, child. And yes, you are certainly acting like one.

I could see Jurrah in the No. 5 or No. 24 but would like too see him keep No. 48. Cult number!

5 & 9 will most likely end up with our KPP we pick up from this draft.

The Aboriginal boys will stick with there high numbers. Davey 36, Jurrah 48, Jetta 39, Bennel 43, Aussie 33, Davey Jnr 29 (Trade Newton).

No. 7 will be available after trade week too I would think.

Scully 31. Trengove 7. Strauss 13 and Blease 17. Majak Daw 24. Ha Ha!

I would like to see Jurrah with the numbers 5 or 24, 9 to Scully hype up Neita's old number, 13 or 31 to Trengrove but im really not too concerned about it.

James Strauss for me, big wraps on this kid.

i aggre strauss will be a great player...give him the number 13, scully 5, jurrah 24, trengove 9

Talia was no.5 for Vic metro. be pretty ironic if we got him at pick 11 and he took brock's guernsey.

Is the club sticking by its recently instigated policy of giving draftees high numbers until they've 'earned' the right to a lower number? The exception of course was Watts. If they do, expect a whole bunch of last years draftees to get lower numbers (Jurrah, Bennell, Jetta etc) and this years crop to be given mid-30s/early 40s numbers.

Will one of the indigenous boys be symbolically given Wheels number?

Hey numbscull if Brock feels the club should compensate him with a higher salary which would offset the amount he bid in the DD, well then his contribution was worthless. Whats the point in making a DD contribution if you feel you should be recompensated with a higher contract or repaid when you leave the club.

If thats the way Brock feels then his bet was made illegitimately.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
