    Thanks for the link.

    I thought as much.

    For some reason I thought Denis Clark (Boner) was No.12 http://demonwiki.org/Denis+Clark

    The mind slips the older you get.

    Hi Chippy. I think Denis had 3 numbers..in this order 38 2 and then 17. http://demonwiki.org/Denis+Clark

    You were right too Prof..thanks for the correction..despite my thoughts that he had played at some stage in the back pocket, I couldn't find that happening at all in the old Footy Records I researched last night..wing, centre and forward pocket/rover at various times..depending on the structure of the side at the time. The Footy Record link provided elsewhere on this site was very helpful. Cheers :)

    jerermy howe was stiff not to get a lower number....

    Would have prefered for Howe to get 19 and give Strauss 33

    It's about what the player wants also, pretty sure Howe is happy with making something out of 38 (much like Davey has with 36).

    Agree with Deez Nutz - the number doth not make the man; the man maketh the number.

    Nothing wrong with a high number.

    Who was that big Crown dude who wore 50 or maybe 52 throughout a successful career. And a fair few #1s and #2s don't get far

    Stephen Tingay was numbr 52 i think when he started...Viney was quite high too. Tingay may have even been 57. Anyone know when he got the #2?

    Agree also... not AFL, but I'm sure the #46 will mean a lot to people who love sport. The owner of that number is in a sport where the world champion is supposed to wear the #1 for the next season, yet this person refuses to part with the #46... I'm certain many of you know who I'm talking about, because his name is synonymous with that number.

    There may be some more numbers available this time next year and Howe has only been here for a year.

    He is such a prospect though...

    Isn't it funny - I am really excited by Jurrah, Bail and Howe and they were all 20 when drafted. Nicholson aswell.

    Looking forward to some more mature recruits (well 2 years matured...) in the RD.

    It appears #31 won't be ready in time for next season

    The dry-cleaners are having problems with some tricky stains

    Evans, also a later non vanilla selection, might be a player too and happy with him in 32.

    I still do not understand the fascination with numbers being low/high and special and important or whatever.

    As far as I'm concerned, a player should come to the club, get a number that is available, and own that number for their career. Be it 1 or 50, that's their number. None of this changing number business, none of this 'let's give him 31 simply because he's good and we had a player who was good who also wore 31, logical connection there!' rubbish.

    I'd have liked Nicholson to hold onto 49, make a career out of it, and then own the story of 49.

    At the risk of being accused of sexually assaulting your post, I am not sure your first line fits with your overall premise.

    Numbers are not important but they are important if they are not changed throughout a career?

    I was a huge LOST fan - numbers are everything...

    Jack Viney doesn't officially become a Melbourne player until next year's national draft but if he's given permission to play for the Casey Scorpions then perhaps he could be given a jumper number in waiting, say 23, which he could also wear in Casey games.

    Pick up Clutterbuck, put him in #59.

    Wonder if the 4 rookies are going to pick up at #47 and take 47, 49, 50 and 51?

    No what I was trying to say was that I don't see the link between a number and it's importance. As in, why is a number from 1-30 'better' than a number that is greater than 30, for example?

    You know I'm a LOST fan too - numbers are not everything.

    • 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.
