Back to the Future

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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
