Whoops

"Also available is Russell Robertson's No. 24"

Whoops

It never ceases to amaze me how poorly researched some of these articles are.

 
I like the idea of Luke Ball = 31!

that simply couldnt be more wrong :huh:


ask jones to change his number, then pick 1 gets #1 and pick 2 gets #2

Most interesting to me was the line about taking a key forward with pick 11 - best available or need? Which rules?

It is time for Neita's number to be passed on to someone, we cannot have it 'retired' forever - giving it to anyone is a risk, but I think any of our top 3 picks this year, or even Blease would be ready to wear it. Although, I would prefer it if the person wearing it was actually playing and not running around for Casey.

 

Interesting that the article says that Sam Blease might get his hands on a new number. How? If I was Jetta or Bennell I would be thinking I'm pretty stiff. Blease has a pretty BIG question mark hanging over his head with his bad injury where as Jetta and Bennell have played 15+ games already. Strauss could also put claims to a new jumper number coming back in great shape for pre season and beating Jones around the running track which is no mean feet in itself. Blease isnt even running yet is he?

Should the new players be given it, or made to earn it?

Just thinking when Geelong gave Varcoe the famous number 5. As an opposition supporter, and knowing a lot of Geelong supporters, it made him standout a lot more than probably deserved. I know many times in his career I made the comment about him not deserving to wear number 5.


Surely in the tradition of red heads Blease should get number 1 after Strawbs O'dwyer

I would like to see Scully get number 31 and Trengove get number 9.

LOL.

We do have a tradition of celebrating the "ranga"! In 2009, we had 6 "brothers" listed as well.

Any truth in the rumor that BP gets a financial bonus if we draft a red-haired brother??!!!!

I would like to see Scully get number 31 and Trengove get number 9.

It's bloody hard - there are a few numbers running around with blokes wearing them that probably don't do it as proud as they could. Jimmy's number 11 for example, currently worn by PJ, even to some point, the number 2? I love Jonesy, but if we are talking about giving (potential) stars the same number as stars before their time, I think that needs to be brought up.

I think David Cockatoo-Collins wore 31 didn't he?

I'm of the opinion that we make them earn it first, then let the past player decide (eg get Neitz, Barassi, etc to do an official handover when the time is right).

Will Jurrah want a lower number as well? Or is it too late with all the 48s on backs now?!

Robbo gave Jurrah the 24 at the B&F

Robbo gave Jurrah the 24 at the B&F

Did he? I wasn't aware of that....thanks!

i'd like to see:

1. Strauss

5. Maric

9. Trengove

13. Benell

17. Bleese

19. Jetta

24. Jurrah

31. SCULLY!

sorry if this is a bit naive, but who previously had the number 31?

previous to when ? now ?? Wheats


just worked out it was Barassi...funny that, my names sake. No not Wheats, I was trying to work out the more famous player, and why Scully would get it.

Dont know about the maric to 5 yet i was just thinking he might want an upgrade because 19 isnt the most popular number.

i like these numbers and i hope im right. ;)

I think I just worked out why Demonology is such a better forum, with actual knowledgeable Demons fans.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
