I was wondering what numbers may be available and who would want them.

The obvious empty locker numbers are:

1 With Matty wanting to go we can assume its free.

11

17

23

25

The ones that may be available will vary but IMO no. 6, 19 and 31

The players who might be offered an upgrade(IMO):

Steph martin, Max Gawn, Rohan Bail and Sam Blease

I would give Steph No.1., Blease No.6 and Bail No. 17.

I think Blease has asked for 17.

Source? Sorry, alzheimers

No idea of the source, but Blease's late father wore number 17.

I recall reading recently (on this forum, I believe) that Blease requested a meeting with Schwab & Stynes upon arriving at the club, to request the number 17.

Looks like it has been warehoused until Blease has done enough to earn it.

I think he now has.

pretty sure Blease had his heart set on no.17.

no. 1 should be retired forever, it has some sort of curse.

Hopefully no.31 isn't available.....

Stef Martin only moved to #34 a few years back, wanting to carry on the big man position from Whitey. He can keep it.

I hope it doesn't happen, but if Jim passes away before next year, retire #11 for a while.

Gawn can have #1, we've had a few ruckmen in that number.

I believe both Blease and Strauss asked for #17, and they couldn't split them, hence #46 and #47. I'd give Blease #17 and Strauss #23 or #25 if he wants it.

We could have #29, 30, 31 and 32 all free. #28 too if Joel Mac walks.

Fizty, Nicho and Pickles could all be looking at upgrades.

Jetta to #36?

Viney can have #18.

Those are taken by our captain and vice captain.

They were taken by our vice and captain in 2011. I don't expect to see either in 2012.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
