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.

  • Quote

    DRAFTEES:

    11 - Lucas Cook

    25 - Jeremy Howe

    32 - Troy Davis

    41 - Tom McDonald

    CHANGES:

    17 - James Strauss

    21 - Sam Blease

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    Hope Strauss gets #7

    Cook #17

    Blease #21

    Fitzpatrick #25

    Howe #32

    retire #26 in honor of Luke Williams and Meesen.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
