A poor idea in terms of merch sales for the club...

Now everyone who had 24 keeps it... If he'd kept 48, everyone would have had to go out and buy a new guernsey!!!

But in truth, a nice gesture.

Cut the pretence about numbers.

Its fitting that a long serving MFC forward and one of its leading goal kickers of all time hands his guernsey to the best 1st year player of 2009.

While I have been critical of Robbo's antics and efforts at times in recent years, he has a great record at the Club and is a life member.

Some of the recent criticism for bagging his old club is unfounded and unnecessary since he clearly is on good terms with the hierachy. Comes a time when you part company.

He may be at the end of his career but to label him a "PSDud" is cheap and ungracious and Robbo deserves better

Nup. There was a time when Robbo was my favourite player, and I going nuts round22 for Robbo to kick a last goal to usher a great career. But since all the comments he has made to the media, I can't stand him. Can't be bothered going in to detail, but that's no way to treat a club which has treated you in the highest regard for over a decade..

You're jumping a ghosts.

I would not go into detail either.

He deserves better treatment for his career achievement.

He would not be at B& F doing what he is doing if he was guilty of your misguided allegations.

I could see this coming. Although I would have liked to see him make the no. 48 his own, this will do. One of our best goalscorers passes down to a player who is most likely going to be our next (hopefully better).

Perhaps Chris, Jimmy and Cameron could look at an anti-Robbo Stinkers' Stand to house the miscreants targetting Robbo on this site and Demonology. The Stand could replace the old smokers stand. Instead of watching the footy these heroes could bring their laptops and plug into the club's wifi.

Good.

48 isn't a footy number. It's Greg Blewett's average at WACA against New Zealand.

I don't really know if it is, but the guy was rubbish.

Front foot pullshots?

Get your hand off it...

Oh, and Robbo has kicked the third most goals by anyone in our history.

So, nuts to you, if you're going to sit there in your armchair-jury box and indict the guy for being bitter.

Better tell the Demon Store to stock up on their "2's" and "4's"...

Great to see Robbo there giving encouragement to our new forward. I have heard him on radio often this year just in raptures over Liam Jurrah-so that's nice.

And has probably mended a little of Robbo's angst over the last 6 weeks. Robbo will always be a great Demon., And to all of you Bagging Him.... GET OUT THERE & DO BETTER or SHUT IT.

I am a little sad to see the no. 48 moved aside for Liam but i will get over it no doubt by the 1st Q next year.

Go Liam & go Demons...

Get off Robbo's back. He loves this club so much and because of that he is taking it really hard. Sometimes we say things we don't really mean when we are hurt and we hurt the one's we love most. Give him a break.

He will always love Melbourne.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
