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

[DemonDing 56]

Wear it with pride people!! I love nothing more then seeing the older supporters with the old merchindice on I like the old stuff better then the new stuff! I must admit tho even at my ripe old age of 27 I kinda would feel weird running into trenners while wearing he's number haha

[Steamin Demon 392]

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.

I'm 31(How old's Greeny)? and also wear the jacket but I wore the jumper in the designated 'Wear you jumper day'instigated by Jimmy.

Yokozuna has it correct.

I wear MFC gear but jumpers on old guys look stupid.

I do agree though I like a lot of the older gear more than some of the later stuff.

Must be bright red and Blue.

No Maroons or pinks thank you

Only Brad Green stands between me and ignoring this rule.

Whatever you do don't get a young player with a high number due to the obsession with changing their numbers. Where will the next Shaun Rehn 50's and proud player come from?

I think jumpers at any age are fine, but numbers look bad on anyone over the age of 15

[the_russian 17]

I've had number 40 on my back for a good 6 seasons now, I'll keep sticking with that - though it's becoming increasingly more popular in the crowd nowadays

Junior even laughed at me one year after seeing me wear it

[Supermercado 2,797]

My friend got laughed at by Danny Hughes for having Bate's number. She's still got her neck in front in that argument.

[WhateverItTakes 17]

I have No. 2 (Jonesy) on my 2011 guernsey and No. 9 (Neita) on my one before that. Still thinking about getting 13 on my old LG long sleeved guernsey, just for the memory.

[biggestred 5,088]

i feel jumpers are fine at any age, unless you look like a condom full of porridge in it.

i had 15 last year, but i think ill get 11 this year - not for mitch, but for the great man Jim...

[Gippy Dee 48]

16

I too got the #16 on the back of my new guernsey last season, the week prior to Grimes being injured against the Crows.

I'm a big fan of Jack and the way he plays.

I'm surprised we don't see more #16's around.

My son has the #6 after we met Bater at the Intra-Club match in 2010. He gave my son a high 5 and he's loved Bater ever since. It was hard to advise him that Bater wasn't playing most of last season cos he was 'sick'... Hoping that both Grimes and Bater have much more sucessful seasons ahead.

Bought my one and only jumper during the "Merger" nonsense fearing the worst. I'm now a senior citizen( member for 39 consecutive years ) but the "Tooheys" comes out of mothballs on "Jumper Day" as requested by Jimmy. Sure i feel a bit self concious but i also feel entitled !

Sometimes I think that this is whats wrong with many of our supporters .

Far too conservative.

I love seeing our jumper being worn with pride no matter whos wearing it .

[DEELIGHTED 16]

You will love this. I wanted a training jumper and have a tendency to buy the horrible pre season jumpers. I could not go past the magic 2011 jumper of the great 29. Before you all go silly i also bought Byron Picketts heritage round jumper. That one is a classic.

Absolutely correct.

If I haven't got my jumper on I'll have my footy nicks on.

Loud and proud.

[wackojacko 25]

i have an old navy blue vfl training jumper with drake across the front. was pinched from the junction oval dressing rooms back in the 80's. number 35 on th eback

I have the old long sleeve navy blue one with Drake also. Mine has No. 8 (Graeme Yeates).

[biggestred 5,088]

i had a 1994 tooheys new long sleeve jumper, with collar and red cuffs.....with number 5 on the back. i dont know where it is now, but it would be far too small anyway (i was 11).

BUT

i would looooooove one like that to wear now. long sleeves, collar.....awesome.

[Lutz 76]

I've got 8, 16, 9, 12 and now 4.

Thinking the next one will be number 20, 13 or 2.

[Lutz 76]

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.

What's this based on..?

Funny how you rarely see the old long sleeve worn by players any more. My old long sleeve LG jumper had 33 on it, and from memory, the Wizard wore the sleeves quite a bit!

I am not being conservative, just something I believe in.

And to say "that is the problem with our supporters", what a load of rubbish. My mates I am talking about dont even support melbourne, so i guess you can call all teams supporters conservative.

I am all for people wearing jumpers, just thought I would add my opinion.

The fact I am a member, go to the football and wear our colours should be good enough!

It is enough and you have my vote!

He and Yze both! I wonder what happened to the long sleeve? Climate change?

I forgot to say my first number was 26 for Luke Williams. And I think I was the only one at the time.

[Supermercado 2,797]

Remember when Yze wore the 3/4 length sleeves? I was right into that but then the AFL banned it. Shame.

Yet it's all the rage in the international rules series.........

I'm sure you'd get away with it, if you had a bit of strategic taping
