If he can do a swap, it would be wonderful if he could get number 15. It is the 'Jurrah number' in central Australia, worn by his father Leo, and by Liam at Yuendumu.

    The only way we could do that is if we gave Petterd a big chat-up and told him we wanted him to wear 5 or 9.

    Possible, but I wouldn't put the proverbial on the line.

    It's about time somebody put number 48 on the map and I'm sure Jurrah is the man to do it. The Warlpiri Wizard is one of a kind and so is the number 48, it goes together perfectly.

    If anyone is interested on SBS tonight at 10.30pm, you can watch Liam present an award with Michael O'loughlin at the Aboriginal 'Deadly Awards', which was held at the Sydney opera House on Thursday. Liam was also nominated for the 'most promising sportsman', but the Sydney centric organisers, gave it to a rugby league player instead. Still it was a terrific achievement for LJ to even be nominated.

    Was going to watch it anyway, but that's good to know!

    Would be good if Cog performed on it again, this time without the sound problems.

    Thanks for the heads up. And yes, it is a huge achievement for a bloke that has only played a handful of games.

    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.

    A: It only gives that image because nobody other than Shaun Rehn has had the grapefruits to stay with a high number and make it their own.

    B: Images mean nothing if the player is ripping it up.

    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.

    Great point She Devil. That confirms #48 in my mind.

    i want him to change to change to something lower but No 1 is a [censored] looking number i reckon it

    just doesnt look that good like they have put some tape on the back of hes jumper! would be more than

    happy too see him in 3, 5, 9, 13, 17, 24.

    48 is too high and there is too many regulars wearing high numbers and its ugly. we have jamar 40 bennell 43 davey 36 jetta 39 and martin 34 who all played regular senior footy this season. i wouldnt think Petterd would give up hes No.15 to LJ unless LJ really really really wanted it.

    But in saying that Ricky please if LJ wants 15 just give it to him!!!! ;)

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
