New Player Numbers

Featured Replies

The Jurrah one [censored] me off. What other good player has 48 on their back? No one.

The "loose cannon" Carl Peterson...? :P

I have my no. 48 Liam Jurrah badge pinned to my jumper that is now pretty much PART of the jumper itself! Whenever the jumper is worn, the badge is with it.

Yeah, nah.

Yeah I was thinking of getting a new jumper with 48 on it, as well as 'Jurrah' above or below it.

What you've done there is find examples of good players who changed number from a high one to a low one. You haven't explained why this has to happen. It is just unnecessary. I say, if you've played even one game in a number, stay in it for your career. Who knows, maybe if Bennell stays in 43 he'll become the greatest ever player to wear 43.

doubt that, but good luck to him

 

 

Billie Smedts to #7.

I thought we were going for five-of-a-kind and picking up Jack Darling...

Well we might as well re-open this debate:

Numbers available are 7, 11, 17, 21, 23, 25, 26, 30, 32, 38, 41, 45, 49, 50.

Anyone got some marvelous insight into which numbers Cook, Howe, McDonald and Davis will get?

McDonald for 23 anyone?

I'm assuming people are going to suggest players like Blease, Struass, Spencer, Bail and Fitzpatrick should migrate to a lower number as well, but I'm not a fan of that. Just keep the lower numbers free for future draftees.

As long as 7 goes to a good forward option (i still think of Brian Wilson whenever i see the number 7) & he loved nothing more than kicking goals!!!

I see Howe in number 7...

23 won't be used next season, just my opinion.

DRAFTEES:

11 - Lucas Cook

25 - Jeremy Howe

32 - Troy Davis

41 - Tom McDonald

CHANGES:

17 - James Strauss

21 - Sam Blease

7 - Cook

11 - Rest whilst awaiting Spencer/Gawn/Fitzpatrick to claim

17/21 - Blease/Struass

23 - Can't decide between either rest for a year or give it to Howe. He'd be a perfect 23 if he's up to it.

Could care about the rest.


Hope Strauss gets #7

Cook #17

Blease #21

Fitzpatrick #25

Howe #32

retire #26 in honor of Luke Williams and Meesen.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
