We have 3 new players.

The following numbers are vacant:

3, 12, 15, 16, 18, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 36, 41, 47

What numbers would you like to see the new comers get? Are there any vacant numbers that you would like to reserve?

I would suggest there are quite a few with numbers that are "vacant" !

Isn't Hogan number 1?

Forgot about the Hoges. I think he is #1.

I got the list off the MFC website and they have already taken Colin off the list. When does Hoges officially become a Demon?

I suppose after second list lodgement. He may already be classed as on the list though, as he played NAB cup last year and was listed in the record.


 

I think a few players will graduate to lower numbers......Fitz, Terlich, Matty Jones, Taggert, Spence....

Then the new fellas will get whats left over

Vince.....12

Michie....16

Tyson.....18

Pick No.9.15

My guess anyway FWIW....

how about #69?

To which Mrs. Wong replied

"if you think I'm going to get out of bed at this time of night to go and make Lemon batter Chicken then you're mistaken"

Oh no. Not this again...

Oh no. Not this again...

Agree wholeheartedly.

Numbers mean nothing.

(But Fitzy looks great in #48 - the only improvement would be #1, elongated all the way down his back from neck to tuck in, to make him look even taller and lankier, but that is taken.)

I'm thinking Tyson will keep #29

If you watch the videos he wore 29 during the tac cup and also for GWS....we have #29 free at the moment...so why not keep him in 29.

Oh no. Not this again...

they should put all the numbers in a big barrel and all players (new and old) pick a new number

just takin da pizza :)

BINGO!

So how much do I win?

What about Jack Viney in 12? That would be cool.

From the available numbers only Tyson has a number that he was wearing from his last club at 29

Bernie Vince did start wearing 28 for the Crows

We still may have a delisting or 2 yet though

Would be fitting that Vince gets 12 and Tyson gets 3

Agree wholeheartedly.

I strongly disagree

If numbers meant nothing then why would Grimes wear 31 , Watts wear 4 , Trengove 9 and so on

You might not think so but the Club obviously does

17 at the Tigers

3 at the Dogs

14 at the Swans

5 at the Cats

4 at the Saints

23 at the Hawks

Club history is really important

Vince has to get 12.

Even if, for no other reason, it sends a message to Sylvia ' ... Thanks for the memories and the 10 years of investment. You have been replaced'.

We know you really miss him but you need to face the fact he has gone for ever!

Look I know that club history is important, but the numbers issue is a low level of magnitude on the scale of things.

And IF guys are to be given "marque" numbers they need to earn them first. Hell, didn't the Cockatoo-Galah twins get gifted 30 and 31 or something ridiculous like that (and ended up playing like 4 games between them)? Wheatley at 31 was a bloody hard worker but certainly not a "neo-Barassi", and nor is JG at least for now. JW ain't no TGNWS.

Tyson 3 if he wants it

 

Do the numbers really matter ? except for the legends of our club. I don't care if players wear #75 as long as they get the football and we win games.

Bernie Vince #12, Dom Tyson #3, Viv Michie #23, take #33 off Dom Barry and give him #36 (give it too the next big indigenous player), give #28 to Daniel Cross, Pick 9 (hopefully Nathan Freeman or Dom Sheed) #18.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
