Back to the Future

Posted

I followed Big Red Fire Engine's example last Thursday and purchased a jumper from the football club and got a number on the back.

Although I usually buy a polo shirt each year from the club this is the first time in many many years that I have purchased a jumper.

I love watching Aaron Davey, I marvel at Liam Jurrah, I reckon Jack Grimes and Cale Morton are absolute guns, as I think quite a few of the other kids we have drafted in the last few years will be, but I haven't thought of getting a jumper with their numbers on it. I haven't contemplated getting a number 4 for Jack Watts or a 9 even when Neita wore it or 5 or 3 for the Ox or Garry

When I finally decided to get one, it really was a no brainer which number it would be, I went back to the future and got the same number I wore as a kid, and the training jumper I wore when I coached Croydon U14s and 16s (same as Carlton jumper), Ron Barassi's famous 31.

May have something to do with the kid who is wearing that number now as well, I fell in love with the way Tom Scully plays his football when I saw him last year at Etihad in the U18s, nothing much has changed since and I would have been gutted if we had not drafted him.

 

i wouldnt mind getting a jumper with either 13 or 9 on it :)

i just cant choose anymore

i did love brad miller but guessing its all over for him

Seriously considered sleeping in the number 16 long sleeve Dees guernsey last night. Is that wrong for a 35 year old male?

Not really :lol:

So wrong in so many ways!

A bit wrong. Probably 23 would be more appropriate. Just due to the age gap. Otherwise fine. :)

Couldn't hold off any longer - just ordered my number 8.

"Crackers" Keenan's old number!!!

Chip was wonderful last night- he and Warnock worked together like Lennon/McCartney last night.

 

Have been meaning to get around to putting a number on mine all year. Think it will have to be done this week. Will be a number 13 for me as it's always been my number, and by a happy coincidence I also happen to have a giant man crush on McKenzie.

I can't choose. I would be happy with about 12 different numbers, I've got so many favourite players at the moment.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
