I am completely over all this. Just play guys......nothing magic in numbers, guernsey or draft for that matter.

Huge vote of confidence in big Maxy's knees and ability to hand him the number 11. He's a fan favorite - especially with the kids so the best of luck to him.

Out of curiosity, look likes every player to don the number 11 since Jimmy has been a ruckman: Simmonds, Jolly, Johnson, Clark now Gawn. Anyone know of another club that has a positional jumper tradition number like this?

Not positional but Port captains always No1.

Intrigued by how we go about it, would have thought 17 would have been kept for Lovett via father son next year. But no big deal.

All pretty understandable numbers, Brayshaw 10 and Mccartin 32 maybe?

Toiges Captain always wears 17....

I thnk a lot of full backs used to wear 1 and it was to do with the team selection from the backline....

Nice to see Max given the chance to bring some credibility back to the number 11 after the last bloke soiled the Guernsey.

They can number backwards from 99 for all I care. Enough of this sentimentality (like the Blazers). Just put out a team that can play!

GO DEES!!

Paul Johnson certainly did not grace the jumper.

Played like a 200cm rover.

Neither did Simmonds.

Try Johnson, Ball, Mithen, Anderson, Wells, Hardeman, Icke and Stynes for size.

I would've happy to give 11 a rest given some of the recent history with it, but Gawn's a good bloke and well liked in the club so I hope he does it proud.

I may be old fashioned but the list of players looks odd without someone wearing number 10 and the series of gaps in the 20s and 30s and a serious roadjam of players with numbers in the 40s.

Too old fashioned to read to the bottom of the article? I'm tipping typical gen-Y short concentration span ...

The remaining numbers will be allotted after Melbourne selects six more players via the NAB AFL Draft (four players) and NAB AFL Rookie Draft (two players).

No.10, No.26, No.28, No.30, No.32, No.33, No.34, No.35, No.37 and No.41 are vacant at this stage with Jesse Hogan wearing No.1 and Jack Fitzpatrick wearing No.48 again.

Having read the last two pages I am surprised.

Cannot believe the love a lot of people have for the subject of numbers and who wears them.

I cannot not think of a subject concerning the MFC that I have less interest in.

I don't care who wears what number.

IMO the only thing that matters is that the players are good enough to lift us up the ladder.

What number they wear I will leave to you guys.

Have fun

Old age does tend to bring with it a lack of interest in specifics.

That's why I regularly do crosswords and sudoku to stave off dementia. :)

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
