Just watched the Jim Stynes media conference online re the No. 11 announcement. He's done amazingly well to get this far re his health, but crikey he's beginning to look frail. The Age reports he's had some good news re the Jimmy Dancer, so fingers crossed. The bloke's got incredible determination.

    All power to you Jim.

    Absolutely! Great to read that there are some small positives with the new medication.

    love it if clark could play his next 200+ games consecutive in the hallowed #11

    Blease has confirmed that he is wearing 17. A nice gesture to allow him wear the number of his late father.

    Here we go again...it's SELLAR!

    Can't even get our players names right.

    Clarke, Bleeze, Maloney, Pettered

    I think Mitch Clark has quickly learnt what a great person Jim is and how highly regarded he is around not only melbourne but the city of melbourne. Im sure he will wear the number with pride.

    It also

    seems Calrk has been told by neeld he will be a permanent foward. At least that will give Jurrah and WAtts some help. Just hope we arent ot Clark conscious,

    Glad to see Jim down there. Good news that one of the tumours has shrunk by 1/2 but now the poor guy has to have another op on the brain. How much more can the brain take. It sounds like the doctors said nothing more we can d, Luckily they found somehting though. I remember at the start of last year Jim said he just wanted to get to christmas. Well it looks like he will see another one. Keep going Jim!

    Good to see Blease getting #17.

    I can't remember the last decent player to wear #17

    Kelvin Clark comes to mind, but I know I'm going to get shot down in flames for forgetting the 90's a bit.

    C'mon put me on track again. Was it BL?

    Thanks for the link.

    I thought as much.

    For some reason I thought Denis Clark (Boner) was No.12

    The mind slips the older you get.

    I do remember Denis Clark in his early years had number 38( I think) before it changed.Think he played either as a forward pocket/rover and wing before making the back pocket his own..does this square with others memories? I remember Kelvin Clarke impressing in his first game(s) with a couple of smart goals before a bad knee injury. We both must go back a fair way! Some good memories of back then! :)

    I guess we should be given some leeway, but just a few weeks, max start of season, on the new boys Clark and Sellar.

    But Maloney in particular drives me nuts.

    If Seller can be half the player of the great Simon Godfrey, then we've got one heck of a player up our sleeve!

    Good to see Blease getting #17.

    I can't remember any post Brett Lovett.

    Other than that, it has been a pretty lean number after the promising start with two greats, Bert Chadwick and Allan La Fontaine in the 1920s.

    It was I think retired for a few years post Brett - gutsy and great vision.

    Let be honest, we all want to know who will be inheriting the now coveted #29 worn by BIG JUICE!

    Also worn by Hassa Mann 3 time premiership player and MFC Captain

    • 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.
