Here we go again...it's SELLAR! Can't even get our players names right.

I don't want us to compare JV to HWFUA so I would go for 23. We are going to compare them, aren't we? We are such douchebags...

I would love to know what contorted position you think Mitch could be in that would allow the '11' to be seen on his back (because that is the story) and also the vacant left-side of his chest...

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.

Also worn with distinction by Paul Hopgood, Paul Bryce and 'Dancing' Danny Seow.

All power to you Jim.

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

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
