Jimmy Magner just tweeted before that he has a new locker number in Josh Tynan 23. So that makes Magner 22 as earlier suggested and Tynan at 23. Wow they are changing everything.

    Why is it a backhander.....He left the club and the number moves on as it should.....

    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 just another reminder that it's been effing ages since we've created any legends of our own.

    Exactly.

    We should have been hoping for people to view 16 as they seem to view 31.

    The number I always had on my back as a kid was #3, and absolutely no disrespect to Barty intended, but I can't wait to go to the MCG again and see a #3 for Melbourne tear a game apart again; whoever that may be... Perhaps Hogan the way things are tracking? Would have loved Dimitri to been given a shot, for no real reason at all

    Given Toumpas is Greek wouldn't it have made sense for him to follow in the footsteps of our greatest hairy player in recent time and wear the 3!

    Now going by my very limited Greek Alpahabet knowledge.... Alpha Beta Gamma Therefore if he gets No.3 His Nickname has to be "Gamma Toumpas"

    It sounds sort of like Gazza Toumpas with an extraordinary license.

    It has to be better than "Jimmy the Greek"

    I know Old Dee will be happy, can't say JB was one of his favourites

    Toumpas in 5 will make me a very happy camper! Looks like some one who could live up to the greatness that was and is the Ox!

    Nasher I wrote elsewhere the following.

    IMO the No. 31 should hold significance to all Dees supporters,

    "Son of a MFC player and deceased war hero who went on to be a champion of the club and the Game.

    Coached North and Carlton to multiple GF victories.

    If that is not the stuff of legend I don't know what is."

    IMHO No.31 will be THE number at the MFC for quite some time yet.

    Rod Keogh looked the goods for a very brief time.

    • 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.
