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.

I thought it was vacant!

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 ...)

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
