I don't think this is correct.

I know hardtack saw it in The WA too.

Clark in his presser said that he had only had a voicemail from Jim and had not spoken to him so I don't think it plausible that he gave him his 11.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
