For me 31 holds no emotion whatsoever - in my lifetime it's been Donald Cockatoo-Collins, Paul Wheatley and some other chump whose name I've forgotten. To me this inheritence of numbers like this is j

If he can get back to the form of 2011, and help win us a premiership, I'd be willing to give him 69.

Viney no. 31: to put some respect and passion back in the number.

Hogan no. 5: to put some aggression, want & work rate back.

Dawes no. 10: to be a presences & attack the footy, not run from it!

Pederson no 27: let's hope he can be as good as the last, if not better.

Need some help with Byrnes, Rodan & Barry.

I'm of the opinion that players should get a high number and earn a low number like they use to.

I agree, but that will mean with our current turnover approx. 10 of the top 30 numbers not being used

Hey guys, I used to post on this site but have only got back onto it recently!

I used to post under another alias. (h.b.k) but F'd if I know what the password is!

Anyway my take on the numbers is that Viney should get 23 after Junior.. Leave 31 blank.

Hogan is our obvious number 5, Barry 33, Dawes 10, Pedersen 22, Byrnes 6, Rodan 15, Howe 24, Magner 21

Thoughts?

Howe to receive 24 - should be a staple of leaping players.

No player in 5, leave for Hogan.

Give Dawes 31 if he wants.

Viney #1. Let's get the ego train going.

Leave Howe where he is - Liam was ever only half the player at #24 he was at #48. Not keen on #24 - after all, sure he can take speccies but he can also do the defensive stuff, unlike some others who have worn this number.

OK with Viney at #1, or #5, or maybe even #31. Question: was Todd always #12 or do I recall something like 42?

Howie in 10 would do me fine!

I say this a lot, so apologies for harping on, but...

WHY?!?!

I just hate this idea that a player should start high and 'earn' a lower number.

What is wrong with a player coming to the club, getting a number, whether it's 1 or 51, and making that his own number? What has the number got to do with the player, or his ability, or his time at the club, or his popularity, or anything? Why does Howe have to move from 38? Where does the line get drawn between 'high' and 'low'?

Howe should stay with 38. All our players from 2012 should stay with their current numbers, and the new players should fill the gaps. By all means, fill the lower numbers first, if that's what we want to do, but when lower numbers are available, that should not give grounds to move someone who already has a number into it.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
