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

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

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.....

    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
