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

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).

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
