Brock's no. 5

Featured Replies

Posted

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

I think Scully getting 9 would be alright, maybe Trengove 5, or Strauss?

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.

you have the brains of a 15yr old, out of good heart, soz you have the brains of a 10yr old, hed take that 10,000 back in a second.

Personally wouldnt mind seeing strauss in it or trengove.

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.

You dont no Brock Mclean at all mate.

just shut it.

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!


Jurrah 24 I wouldnt mind.

13 - Strauss, 5 - Trengove and 9 - Scully sounds alright by me =)

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

If it where upto me

Scully -31

Trengove -9

Jurrah -24

blease -13

strauss -17

Our KF pic 11- 5

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.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
