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

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.

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.

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!

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.

True.

I can only recall seeing back to Derek Feldmann.

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

The journeyman came good that day.

2007, 2008 - Isaac Weetra

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.

    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

    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
