And for god's sake intervene if you kid tries to put a rookie's number on their back. My #54 Brent Heaver jumper was good for about three weeks before he changed numbers.

    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.

    I went for # 5 but not so much out of love for Jordan Gysberts (though I do admire and respect him) but because I still have the number from when The Ox played.

    Well, considering I'm 15, I might as well vote for Ricky's 15.

    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

    Got my new jumper a couple weeks ago from the Demon Shop - When asked what number i would like on the back instantly i said "Number 4" ..my girlfriend right next to me said quick as a flash "Who else would it be!"

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
