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.

    I would have given Billy a high number so that all the kids get high numbers...

    It's a silly little idea but I would still do it that way.

    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?

    Agree, was thinking they should have kept 18 for Stretch last year instead of giving it to Cross...

    Lack of foresight

    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 don't think so

    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. :)

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
