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 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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
