Dawes wanted a fresh number.

In my lifetime I can only think of Brett Lovett (86-97) in the number 6.

I hope

Viney takes #7

Pick 4 #23

Hogan #1

Barry #33

Think you mean Glenn Lovett....Brett worn#17

    New numbers

    No. 6 - Chris Dawes

    No. 10 - Shannon Byrnes

    No. 15 - David Rodan

    No. 21 - Cameron Pedersen

    No. 27 - Tom Gillies

    Happy with that

    Would like to se Jack Viney given #31, #3 or #5.

    All other draftees can have higher numbers until they earn a low number.

    # ..31 Just a number these days....

    since Ronald Dale, a cursed number if you ask me.

  • Quote

    I don't want to see 31 for at least a decade.

    It is an unfair weight to put on a kids shoulders. After the next flag is won, bring it back out.

    My dream WYL is for my boy to grow up get drafted by the Dees and wear it, heres hoping!

    Yes Glenn Lovett. Thanks Bossdog. I mixed those 2 up more than the Febey brothers and they looked nothing like each other haha

    Nothing memorable about Matthew Bate..... oh wait there once was that time when.......ummmm.......... yeah nothing.

    To be honest, I like that the numbers are getting announced but I worry about how we have to rant on and on about who got who's number from 50 years ago. I worry that the club is to enmeshed in it's past rather than caring about the future. I could be wrong but just my take.

    You are right, but it is a small thing, i doubt they held a AGM and Board meeting to decide these things.

    He did kick a goal with his first kick. That was about it for The Master.

    Wow, Gillies getting my childhood hero, number 27. Giving the late, great Sean Wight's number to a player on a one year contract - I hope he wears it with pride and earns himself a contract extension at the end of the year.

    Would like to see Toumpas in 23 if he's drafted, or if it's Wines, I think number 5 would suit him. Although he may need to stretch it given the size he is compared to the last bloke that wore it.

  • Quote

    Maybe Viney and Toumpas/Wines in 22 and 23?

    I would like to see Viney in 31 though...

    And Hogan should be in 5.

    Disgraceful decision otherwise.

    I would like to see:

    Toumpas in 7

    Viney in 5

    3 saved for Hogan

    Agree to an extent. However, maybe the decisions are partly to do with the future..just saying. There are members out there who like the significance of past players and their numbers.

    As long as members of the FD don't spend too much time on the selections and get it done (ie . It is the "off-season") it shouldn't "worry" people or have an influence on aspects concerning the club's future.

    That said, when I reflect on the likes of Watts, Scully, Trengove receiving their jumpers, C.Schwab in his Whiteboard Wednesdays mentioned the significance of recognising the past moving forward (yes I understand he's big on the history of the club).

    Hope I've made sense here.

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

    yes, but that was after being part of 6 flags so i try not to get to emotional about that. Try..Try....

    No quite the reverse wyl

    Just Don't see us winning a flag for at least the next 4 years and that is positive thinking.

    Also there was a small amount of "smart arse" in the comment.

    good. I was momentarily worried. 4 years i expect us to be playing tough hard finals footy in that time. Excuses will not be tolerated.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
