    Was Brian Keneally a club champion? A good winger who later became a rebounding HBF I think in the 64 flag side.

    More interesting though is "promoting" a rookie to #22 - seems to show intent on keeping him beyond this year.

    We gave Evans 32 for 2012 so probably...

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

    I finally got something right! Grimes in 31.

    Viney and Toumpas wearing no 7 and 5 respectively. All numbers are now sorted except for the 2 players to be picked up in the rookie draft.

    I might be wrong here but I thought we retired a number after Troy Broadbridge died.

    Can someone fill me in?

    I thought Belly wore it because he was Broadbridges best mate.....Could be wrong here....

    Bell was in the locker next door in #21. I like the idea of retiring jersey numbers in the US, but it's different here. We've got 154 years of tradition and we can't just start shelving numbers.

    Yes it is strange that we have these numbers free. Not great thinking in terms of marketing. "Hi Dad. Now Liam is gone, who is number 24". No one !!!! Huh.

    Maybe give both of them 15 1/2 ?

    Can someone please verify which is which because the website says:

    CLISBY

    NathanStark.jpg

    STARK

    MitchClisby.jpg

    BOTH (Clisby left and Stark right)

    StarkandClisbyNumbersL.jpg

    Clisby is older but less defined than the 18 year old we picked up? Doesn't seem to add up.

    Stark is ripped young thing if the website is correct...

    Dom Barry has been given No. 33, which was worn by fellow indigenous players Jeff Farmer, Byron Pickett and Austin Wonaeamirri in recent times

    fantastic, hopefully he can honour that number and provide the lengthy and consistent careers of his predecessors

    • 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.
