So many conflicting reports on this.

One fact that seems irrefutable is that he has been offered the 11 and will think it over.

I don't know, I'm conflicted...

I presumed Gawn would follow Stynes from 37 to 11 and as I write this I am struck by how needlessly sentimental that is...

If he wants it he can take it.

He ain't a ruckman anymore though...

I always liked the idea of Gawn getting #11, so I'm all for him keeping his #1.

if he wants 11 and knows who is suggesting it and has worn it I reckon he should have it. Inevitably yes 'who cares'. But he's got that great running and decision making that jimmy had so I reckon it would be a good fit.

If he does get it he should wear a cap for a game to dedicate to Jimmy. :)

Nm 1. Then he and Nathan Jones can have lockers next to each other and discuss sleave tattoos. And he won't have to change his twitter handle.

I've never thought numbers per se were particularly important. But perhaps who your locker is next to might be. I wonder whether clubs give any thought to the psychology of players when deciding on their numbers.

It means a couple of years ago all our new players were numbered in the high 40s which would have meant their lockers were all together. Intuitively this seems mistaken. I think new players should be mixed in with the more experienced players. Putting a new key position prospect near James Frawley, for example, might make more sense than putting him next to another new player.

I agree with this but if Jim has offered, it would nearly be rude to say no.

Not that it would be anything against Jim in anyway, but its probably the most important number at MFC atm

I know it's senseless but I'm into the numbers.

Since they hand the numbers over from a significant previous wearer - I think #11 is definitely the go for Clark - the time is ripe.

Would love to see JV in #31, just ticks all the boxes for me.

So am I for some reason...

And, yes, I would like to see Viney get 31 or 23.

Yes I'd be very happy with JV in 23 too.

    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.

    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)
