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.

    Champion ruckman and brilliant leader, Max Gawn earned his seventh All-Australian team blazer and constantly held the team up on his shoulders in what was truly a difficult season for the Demons.

    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
