Nice of you to bring that up, Mono. But, it's "Barrie", if you don't mind! (How soon they forget! LOL)

Humblest apologies Barrie. I was typing phonetically:-). And, it is a long time between drinks! None of us are getting younger.

The point that I was trying to make, for the youngsters here, though is that the last #32 to win a flag at MFC was......

Apology accepted, Mono! Good of you to bring up the "Good old days". Let's hope the next wearer of the famous #32 will also have the distinction of wearing it in a Premiership win!

I think Max and Mitch King need to have similar numbers to confuse us even more.

Anyway, if we can match a few Jacks with a pair of kings, we could all clean up.

I'm going off memory here but weren't the Febey twins 20 & 21?

13 for Oliver (looks like McKenzie), 33 for the Weed (Wayne was 33 too), 34 for King and 38 for Hulett for mine. Harmes to move to 26.

I feel like watching The Hills Have Eyes actually...

13 to Oliver. As others have said, looks like Jordie.

27 to Weideman. Murray wore 27 at one stage for the filth.

34 to King. Good ruckman number.

38 to Hulett. Speculative number for a speculative pick.

40 reserved for our Rookie Pick.

They were, indeed. And, weren't the Cockatoo-Collins twins 30 & 31? (Not that they racked up a huge # of games...

Or the Cockatoo-Collins at #30 and #31 - not that we had a chance to get confused as they play, what, ?6 games between them.

EDIT: apologies Barrie - I jumped ahead before I saw you comments on the C-C twins, who were not it turns out to be great choices to say the least. Who was the recruiting manager then?

The MFC website just posted the new jumper numbers for the players, as follows.

13# Clayton Oliver (Another red-head replacing Jordie McKenzie....I hope they get Adem Yze or even Allen Jakovich to present his jumper to him?).

26# Sam Weideman (taking the number from his school mate Christian Petracca...the only guy I remember to wear number 26# who was a pretty good player was Daniel Ward to present the jumper?).

27# Liam Hulett (perhaps have Jared Rivers or Anthony Ingerson present his jumper?).

34# Mitch King (maybe get Jeff White to present his jumper?).

42# Josh Wagner (the rookie listed player taking the number from Jake "Frank" Spencer. Perhaps get Peter Walsh to present his jumper?).

44# Joel Smith (Catergory B Rookie and son of high-flying Demon Shaun Smith. I would just have his Dad present his jumper perhaps?).

33# Jake "Frank" Spencer (showed some improvemrnt in 2015 but needs to improve his decision making and stop being so uncoordinated in his movements...maybe get Jeff Farmer in to present his jumper?).

32# Tommy Bugg (I would like to see Cameron Bruce present his jumper, if possible?).

35# Ben Kennedy (Maybe get Anthony McDonald to present the jumper?).

18# Jake "Apples" (Apple Turnover) Melksham (Hopefully Brad Green could present this jumper?).

5# Christian Petracca aka CP5 (Gotta get David "The Ox" Schwarz to present this jumper!).


Anyways, I think that's all the changes for season 2016?

Yep...

Would of liked Clayton Oliver to have number 33# but it's no big deal.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Christian Petracca play in number 5# for the Demons!

Also would love to see both Clayton Oliver and Sam Weideman play a few AFL matches in 2016 if their form warrants it.

Yze for mine. What about no.26 for Sam? Luke Williams? :huh:

Luke Williams?! Hahahaha! :lol:

Probably Greg Parke and/or Ian Thorogood would be suitable to hand out the number 26# jumper to Sam Weideman perhaps?

And it would be nice to keep the tradition of older MFC players handing out jumper numbers to the new Demons recruits. A little bit of tradition and nostalgia is fine I reckon.

Would be pretty cool to see Allen Jakovich back at the Demons even if it was just for a jumper presentation.

Allen Jakovich, Garry Lyon, David Schwarz and David Neitz as well as Jeff Farmer were some of my favourite MFC players when I was younger.:)

I may be wrong but i highly doubt they get club greats in to present jumpers now days?

Now its more players and family that do it.

I recall other clubs doing it. I know they have other commitments and at other clubs but I'd love to see Yze, Rivers and White back at the club if/when these guys debut.

All 3 were very good players for the club who might have suffered a hit to their reputations in how they left and getting them back in would be nice.

I'd love to see Clayton Oliver presented with his jumper by Yze before debuting against and tearing up the Hawks.

You want to see Oliver debut round 11?

I don't want to wait that long.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
