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.

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:

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.

    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.

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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
