My 17 year old daughter is a HUGE Liam Jurrah fan as is my eldest son. About 2 years ago he was getting very interested in Gary Ablett and Geelong and I was struggling to maintain his interest in the Dees. we were never on TV and we lost almost every week. Oh no - I was losing him to the meows meows! Then, everything changed when one Liam Jurrah came on the scene. When all 6 of us - me, the other half, and four kids - went to see us thrash Essendung in 2010, LJ turned it on and that was it. Right now that same 17 year old daughter is standing behind me making me vote for LJ on the poll. Personally, I reckon Rohan Bail has a huge future and I love his run, or the man-crush on Frawley would make me choose 44 or 8.

Make the kid pick a number out of a hat, then tell tham that's their new favourite player.

Then when they draw #29 say it was a practice and get them to do it again.

I'd tell them that the number 29 was Hassa Mann's number who was a fantastic player and Captain for the Melbourne Football Club.

But then again, you wouldn't want anyone thinking that your son actually likes Juice...

I did spot a young blond kid selling newspapers wearing

No23 on his back,

At the time I was in the far right hand land and couldnt

get over to ask who his mother was.

Then there was this Africian kid kicking a footy had

Aaron Daveys Number. For the life of me, I couldnt recall one of those nights.

I'll keep checking, looking around.

Wow, really goes to show how important it is having the "flashy" types at your club also. Wonder how many youngsters we can convert with Jurrah, Howe and Scully et al at the helm. We have an exciting team to watch. Happy times ahead. FWIW by the time I have a kid Billie Stretch will probably be in his prime.

Played the number's game with my five year old niece tonight, asking her what her favourite number was. 3 was the answer - which would have been fine 10 years ago but wont suffice now.

Then asked her whether she wanted to wear the number of the player who has sent her cards / letters (Aaron Davey) as she is a junior member. She couldn't really remember that.

Then I asked her if she liked #9 and she got pretty excited at that. When we told her 9 was 3 + 3 + 3 she was ecstatic, so it looks like JT will get the nod, although there was also discussion of 31 and 24 too.

Will be happy with any of these on her back

My 4yo chose 24 himself for his jumper. He goes to a lot of games and noticed that 48 last year and 24 this year "kicks all the goals".

If it was my jumper I would choose 18, but it was his choice.

We have aaron davey's no for four year old girl. She said she loves aaron cause 'he is small but fast just like me!'

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
