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.

Your thread was merged due to it being very similar to another.

Number 1 is Jesse hogan I have gathered by the way!

Available numbers

3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 29, 31, 33, 34, 45,

Lots to choose from.

Dawes - 5

Pederson - 34

Rodan - 33

Barry - 45

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

VINEY has to be 31

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

Not like some rat boy from GWS

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) ...............

31 should be banished for decades. It was RDB's thats it.

It has bought us nothing but trouble since.

Let Chris forge his own path.

You mean the guy that nicked off to play with Carlton, WYL? :P


Posted

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

Viney - 31

Wines - 3

Dawes - 1

Hogan - 5

Rodan - 33

Pederson - 27

Gillies - 34

Byrnes - 10

Barry - 45

I'd like to see it like this ^^^^^^

I like the look of all that. Hogan has already leaked that he's #1 (both in our hearts and on the field) though.

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.

I won't take the bait DemonWA.

However did you see my comment to you on Tuesday?

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.

Source?

Mix of BF and Instagram - Hogan posted it on Instagram, JT was interviewed on MMM and reported that he now has Byrnes as a 'neighbour', and a BF person spoke to Byrnes at some point and said Viney was taking 7.

Posted

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.....

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
