PLAYER NUMBERS 2013

[demonoid 317]

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.

[demonkeaney 61]

... and it seems Toumpas 5, Viney 7

[cat attack 26]

Matthew Bate?

Scott Thompson

Bit of a backhander to Beamer there maybe? Dancing right on his grave...don't mind it...at all

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

[demonkeaney 61]

is it possible he is 24? he would still be next to him in the locker room. Having said that i do think he's 22

[Nasher 33,616]

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.

I would've loved Viney in #31, but very happy to see the skipper in it.

Exactly.

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

[Keepin up with the Joneses 48]

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

[DeeSpencer 25,715]

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

[Gorgoroth 12,961]

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.
