I'm surprised I didn't see another thread on this already, so if there is one and I've missed it, please point it out.

It's the time of year to have a crack at the new jumper numbers. Cam Schwab has said on Twitter that the new numbers will be allocated within the next week.

These are the current jumper numbers as they stand.

1.

2. JONES, Nathan

3. BARTRAM, Clint

4. WATTS, Jack

5.

6. BATE, Matthew

7. MILLER, Brad

8. FRAWLEY, James

9.

10. MORTON, Cale

11. JOHNSON, Paul

12. SYLVIA, Colin

13.

14. DUNN, Lynden

15. PETTERD, Ricky

16. GRIMES, Jack

17.

18. GREEN, Brad

19. MARIC, Addam

20. GARLAND, Colin

21. BELL, Daniel

22. MOLONEY, Brent

23. McDONALD, James

24. JURRAH, Liam

25. CHENEY, Kyle

*26. MEESEN, John ®

27. RIVERS, Jared

28.

*29. NEWTON, Michael ®

30. McNAMARA, Tom

31.

32. BRUCE, Cameron

33. WONAEAMIRRI, Austin

34. MARTIN, Stefan

35.

36. DAVEY, Aaron

37. WARNOCK, Matthew

38. HUGHES, Daniel ®

39. JETTA, Neville

40. JAMAR, Mark

41. BAIL, Rohan

42. SPENCER, Jake ®

43. BENNELL, Jamie

44.

45.

46. BLEASE, Sam

47. STRAUSS, James

48.

49. McKENZIE, Jordie ®

50. HEALEY, Rhys ®

* To be redrafted. These numbers could become vacant, but for the purposes of this exercise I'm assuming they won't.

These are the players to be added to the list:

Scully, Tom

Trengove, Jack

Gysberts, Jordan

Tapscott, Luke

Gawn, Max

Fitzpatrick, Jack

Macdonald, Joel

While I recognise that these are not the set in stone list of players yet, there's a very strong chance that this is what they will be.

For me I like:

1: Macdonald

5: Trengove

9: Tapscott

13: Blease

17: Strauss

28: Gysberts

31: Scully

35: Gawn

44: Fitzpatrick

    Like your selections Nasher. So I'll second that.

    Go Dees !

    Wondering why Gysberts gets 28 and Tapscott gets 9?

    Firstly, they both should get numbers in the 40s, and, secondly, Gysberts is the higher rated player - he should get the 'better' number, no?

    1 - JMac

    5 - Trengove

    13 - Strauss

    17 - Blease

    28 - McKenzie

    31 - Scully

    35 - Gawn

    46 - Gysberts

    47 - Tapscott

    48 - Fitzpatrick

    Let someone earn 9 (If Scully or Trengove aren't given it).

    Is 9 "better" than 28? At what point do the "bad" numbers start? 20s? 30s? 40s?

    The only reason why I gave Tapscott 9 but Gysberts 28 is because given my other choices, there was only one low number left. It was an arbitrary decision, I could easily have reversed them, or given them both higher numbers (or both low). I just went with what I thought sounded good.

    i would like to see the mfc give gawn number 111 , it would fit on his massive sized jumper , he can drop the excess 1 when PJ is gone

    1: Macdonald

    9: Tapscott

    13: Blease

    31: Scully

    35: Gawn

    44: Fitzpatrick

    1: Macdonald

    5: Trengove

    9: Bennell

    13: Strauss

    17: Blease

    28: Gysberts

    31: Scully

    35: Tapscott

    43: Gawn

    44: Fitzpatrick

    If Spencer was upgraded I would have made him wear #1 but MacDonald seems a good fit.

    Trengove and Scully for 5 & 31 has been rumoured for some time.

    Bennell is very highly rated and will be offered a high number while I heard a crappy rumour that Jetta likes his number....

    1 of Tapscott or Gysberts will take 35. Write that down.

    Good point. I say we retire 28 to not tarnish any player's future. Reid, Matt Collins. A few other numbers may need to go in the process...B)

    I have not given any consideration to the past whatsoever; someone eventually has to get the number, and far as I'm concerned any new recruit is as worthy as any other. The _only_ reason I put Scully in 31 is because forum groupthink subliminally planted the idea in my head; nothing to do with Barassi or any other esteemed wearer of that number.

  • Quote

    But the forum groupthink generated Scully wearing 31 because it was Barassi's number

    RR, you sure go back a long way.

    Some of those "famous" names may actually go down in infamy. David Cordner..... a top bloke, but the original Coodabeen Champion.

    I liked Jamie Duursma. Will never forget the job he done on Kernahan.

    RR's favourite player. :P

    I've heard Scully gets 31, Trengove 9 and Gysberts 5.

    I'm unsure what the other draftees get. I'm also unsure whether Blease, Strauss, Bennell and Jetta get to take up lower numbers, or if they would want to.

    I think the best policy on these things is to hand out the numbers as the come available, with the most deserving getting first choice. If they want to take on a highly regarded number then good luck to them. I'd say Scully and Trengove as pick 1 and 2 should get first go, then probably Bennell and Jetta for a reward for a good season, then maybe Blease and Strauss followed by Gysberts extending through the picks.

    But they are just numbers, you make them your own if you are good enough. If any of these young guys are upset with a dodgy number then they should have a good season because at the end of the year it is likely that the best number going around will become vacant - Junior Mac's 23!

    True.

    I can only recall seeing back to Derek Feldmann.

    The journeyman came good that day.

    Did we preserve the number in due respect? :P

    RR's favourite player. :P

    Some things in your life you dont wish to remember. :unsure:

    deegirl has 5 = Trengove, 31 = Scully - so they're locks

    Joel McDonald was 26 at Brisbane - that number is not finalised yet.

    I like Tapscott for 9 and Gawn for 1 or 44 for no good reason.

  • Quote

    True.

    .........I can only recall seeing back to Derek Feldmann.

    I too remember Derek Feldmann. A serviceable player in an ordinary side. Almost as good as Shane McSpeerin (no. 50?)

    Did I miss the Joel MacDonald press conference?

    • 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.
