    There are certainly enogh good numbers available, but I like the high number.

    If it were me personally, I would prefer to stay in the same number my whole career.

    again..fair enough...just curious.. its unlikley hed keep his high number, he could..but history suggests unlikley.

    was just an idea :)

    Jurrah can make 48 his own. We talk about #3 being Gazzas number, #2 being Robbie Flower, and of course #31 Barassi.

    Imagine kids in 40 years time being handed the #48 and it meaning something special.

    yehas i love that he's made 48 his. really burst onto the scene with it and its identifiable to him. not many players do that with the high numbers. personally i like it on him. it suits. but we don't really want a whole team running around in late 30s and 40s do we...

    and as far as numbers go i reckon number 1 is the worst one. it always looks so lonely. haha. but seriously i don't really like the look of the one stripe down the back. just personal preference. i'd take 48 over 1 everytime

    As I've said before, if it were me I'd want to stay with the number I started in. I know that there has been some talk of him wanting to get the number both he and his father played in back home (can't remember what number though), so that could be an option as well. I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

    Remember what Happened when the "Wiz" changed his number?? Lost his Mojo. Keep the # 48

    What about the poor bastards who rushed out to get a Wonaeamirri 39 last year only to be stooged?

    SAVE THE 48. I'd rather see him posing with the North Balwyn tram than the South Melbourne.

    I reckon #1 has a recent history of bad luck! Who's the last player to wear it and have a decent career with the club?

    While #48 could be the cult number for the cult player!

    Last Iconic Dees player to wear the Number '1' was Strawbs O'Dwyer. Even then at times he was was pretty cursed.

    Gippy

    Strawbs 1990 Windy Hill against Simon Madden. They went to War between each other. Never Forget it!!!!

    Broken teeth on Both Sides.

    Jurrah to keep the 48.

    I would like to see Neville the Jet in No 1. Or if we can pick up Lewis at Pick 11 give him the No 1. He will be gone at either the Eagles at 7 or Bummers 10 i would think.

    Majak Daw to get the 44.

    Scully 31.

    Trengove would be great in the No 1 also. Especially if he is the No 1 pick. He can make the number his own.

    5 and 9 to key postion forwards I would imagine.

    I think Butcher will slip to us. Give him 59 until he can kick the ball through the sticks!

    Keep the 48 for mine. It already has such a rich history. Who can forget the power that was energised to purchase that jumper to send to Yuendumu.

    Brilliant point.

    change to number 1 for me. High number like 48 gives the image of a unproven young player (which he is i might add) but you dont want that number your whole career.

    As for the jumper purchased and sent to Yuendumu, if Jurrah has a long and colorful career in number 1 that #48 jersey will become all the more special and valuable as it will signify the long jersey he took to get to the AFL and the time he came on the scene from no where!

    Offer Luke Ball either the #1 or #31 jumper (two of the great numbers in the game and at our club) if he signs. In the grand scheme of things it's only a small detail but it's the little things that make the big things happen.

    I think Liam would look good in the #5 jumper.

  • Quote

    Definitely keep 48.

    It's his number and I dare say he will make it one of the more famous MFC numbers by the time he is finished.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
