I have not cared about them for some time Redleg.

It should be renamed the Midfield Award as no one else can seemings score votes now.

And for that matter, the 'famous midfielders' award, ie someone from one of the top 4 teams or 'famous' a la Ablett. Not saying the winners are undeserving, but just makes it uninteresting.

Eight and Yes

Looks more like 13 and no, OD ...

65 Tuesday

6 & 5 = 11

Who has that number at Melbourne?

Paddy?

I thought it was vacant!

Brownlow winner doesn't make the AA team and was overlooked in four drafts.

Shows good players are still out there and can be developed.

Yep the trick is to find them !

14 and who is counting?

ME!

in all seriousness maybe we should put it aside for a decade or so.

Let all the dust settle

Same with 31 bb or at least wait till someone clearly proves they have the ability level to carry it.

I am of the opposite opinion. Move it onto someone, anyone, as soon as possible. Let the new bloke make his own history in it. I love nostalgia as much as anyone, but we have to live in the present. Let's remember the past, but not live there.

If you want nostalgia, bring back the blazers ... :-) (sorry OD)

I reckon the idea of a bloke making a number his own is fine.. There are many to select from. Two numbers with much weight attached are 11 and 31 though

I woulndt want either if playing...Id take some non descript numeral and say, this is me.

( i know just about all numbers have history ...)

I think it is time for a coffee and a bit of reflection R and B

You will then come back and remove that last line!

Yes, but Jimmy stopped wearing 11 in 1998. As for 31, I can barely remember Barassi wearing it. At some point, we have to move on and let the next lot make their own history. For me, that is next season for all numbers. I like it when the bloke in 2 does well (certainly the case now), and when the bloke in 9 does well (not so much recently, but a few seasons ago he was flying), but of course I would be just as happy if it were 7, 44 or 99.

Thanks, OD. Had my coffee, and I still think the same . FWIW I liked the blazers, but I am not going to die in a ditch for them. It was worth it for the stir, anyway ... (now I think I am channelling jazza ... )

Yes indeed.

They should throw the jumpers in a pile on the change room floor before the first game.

First in best dressed,no arguments and who cares what number youve got.

You are not the first and probably not the last ... Channelling jazza is fine as long as he stays off the smokes ...
