What number to put on my jumper? What do you have?

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.

 

ox or yze?

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.

9 or 4 for mine.

would love to get Jeremy Howes number but reckon theres a fair chance he'll get a lower number next year!!

 

#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 think i will get 22 - love both Beamer and Sylvia but Beamer is a Demon right down to his little toes..

Love Col tho..

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 .

footy jumpers are for kids....or adult collingwood supporters

They're pretty handy for the guys that play...

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!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
