PLAYER NUMBERS 2013

Recommended Posts

I couldn't find my thread for a sec then. Is it common to have your threads renamed and taken over by admins?

31 would be good, receiving 5 from Schwartz would be better, but picking number 1 would be best. I will be able to finally put good use to my player issued number 1 jersey, seeing Warnock only had it for a year lol.

I've found that out myself. Gets me confused. Perhaps leave the thread title for a while with a message, "thread merged with whatever".

I would like Hogan to be #3, having grown up a G.Lyon fan it would be great to see a big forward in the great man's number. I would like Hogan and Dawes in #3 and #5, I"m a romantic, so Colin Sylvia to move to #1, Viney to have #12, Byrnes in #10, Rodan #33, Pedersen #15, Gillies #27, Wines? in #23, Barry #45 would be good too for the great M.Whelan.

It would be nice to give #31 to somebody who wants to be a Demon to help erase the Scummy association that many have with it. Unless he doesn't want #31, that is.

I like the idea that 31 is given to the captain (whoever it is), like Richmond does with 17.

Hard to do it currently with the co-captains.

Or maybe we could allocate 11 to the captain (or 37) ...............

Barass left in 1965 nearly 50 years ago........The jumper does not make the player ....the player makes the jumper.....Let someone make it their own and move on.......

Sure, but maybe as long as the great man, RDB, is alive any question of who should be given #31 should be run by him?

I think the devil has changed his number from 666 to 31

Personally I think we should put the 31 guernsey in a locked box and drop it in the ocean

I am a broken record on this but why give that little simpleton so much say over this football club.

He was here for two years and directly led to the recruitment of Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Wines, and Barry.

Let's pay tribute by putting someone in 31.

I agree rpfc

However I don't really care what number any player wears.

What i really care about is winning games.

To do that we need good players what number is on their back has little apeal to me.

Just win games

Would you like the club to retire #7 in respect for your mate?

Well said. We've spent too long in the abyss of the competition.

This year it's time to go out and let the other teams feel the wrath of the Dees.

VINEY has to be 31

He will were the jumper with the respect it need's.

Not like some rat boy from GWS

I agree. Has to be Viney in 31. He will honour the memory of RDB the man who invented the pack breaking ruck rover position that he will emulate.

I think you have a selective memory.....Who else wore 31#.......The only one I can remember was Ray Groom......and why does it matter.......It's only a number.....

It may be 'Only a Number', to you, but to many others, it is a important representation of what They want the club to become again.

So, to me, those peoples opinions are very important.

I like your thoughts on 23, But I'd like to hold back the No's 31 & 23, for a year or two, until Viney & (Wines?),,, if that eventuates, would be ready to play topline hardass footy.

As distinct from playing they're first seasons of development footy & the red & blue. give them 75 & 76 for a year before moving them into these numbers when they deserve the honor.

Well, throw me back to the fifties.......You're right......I do not care who wears the #31 next year......It puts expectations (unfairly) on the player.......The last player to wear it was a beauty,wasn't he???? I love Barass but he went to Carlton in 1965....

What No did Ivow Warne-Smith wear???/

What No did Don Cordner wear????

All these so called "Important" numbers have moved on to other players who have or have not made them their own..

Time to move to the 2013's and beyond.....

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
