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.

    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.

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

    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 :blink::wacko: . 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 ... :wacko::wacko: )

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
