I am tossing up between Jordie McKenzie 13 and Jordan Gysberts 5 at the moment?

What does everyone else have? Many get 31 last year...??

After going to training today I was very impressed with Tom McDonald, might even go that way.

    I've got #4. I have an enormous faith in Killa, and I think he will be an absolute star for the club. If he never becomes elite, at least I have the knowledge that club greats such as Brent Grgic have worn the same number!

    I'd steer away from #5, unless you want a jumper number that doesn't appear on the park in 2012. Neeld not a fan ATM.

    I'd go with #8, #38, #35, even a #44.

    I havent had a number on the back since the Wizard flew west, but will be getting the sewing machine out and stitching on a big 9 this year!

    I got #24 last year. I think this year we will be seeing alot of jumpers with peeled off numbers in the shape of 31.

    #31 - got caught up in the hype of a pretty scripted and cold media conference.

    Thankfully i was a big Paul Wheatley fan.... :)

    Number 4 is a certainty.

    Mainly because being in the west and playing footy with a heap of WCE supporters who give me heaps on the Nic Nat vs Jack Watts comparison.

    I wear my Melbourne gear to every training session.

    Go Dee's!

    Ed: I even throw in some blind-turns in the middle of lane work when no-one's around me. That really gets 'em going.

    I was toying with either 9 or 31 after '09 draft. I eventually went with 9 mainly because Neitz was one of my favourite players. A decision I don't regret.

    Personally got #8 last year, felt a good connection to Chip as I watch and heard him get bagged by many Melbourne fans early on but I defended him and felt he would become a good player for us.

    But mostly I just love his game, he's one of the best defenders I've seen pull on the Red and Blue and he's going to get better.

    9 and 13 are great choices, hopefully by the end of the year a few people will want to get 11.

    I got 4 on my the guernsey I bought myself for my 60th birthday last year. First guernsey I've in nearly 50 years. And I wear it proudly. That boy is going to be a star for us.

    Go Son-wear it with pride .I did the same when I could play .

    Although Wattsy will be a champ .

    The 9 guernsey will earn a Brownlow one day .

    A blind turn around no apparent opponent and then slotting a goal also deserves an instant 3 votes .

    funny you should say that. I was mocked for wearing a gurnsey & number by richmond fans whilst having a few pre game beers at the Transport last season! haha

    My mates and I have a rule: Once you are older than the eldest player on the field, no football jumpers to be worn and especially one with a number.

    I wear the Melbourne Jacket that the coaches wear.

    100% correct.

    Me in a MFC jumper would look just a little ridiculous!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
