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.

    Who cares.

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
