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.

FWIW, James Seller tweeted:

"@sellardoor28 Given guernsey #30 first worn by M Maguire 1912; Peter Moore won a brownlow in it in '84 and more recently worn by S Godfrey @melbournefc"

All power to you Jim.

Any word on Taggert and Tynan's jumper numbers? Or any changes? Blease is #17 now isn't he?

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.

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! :)

Clarke, Bleeze, Maloney, Pettered

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!

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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
