    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

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.

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.

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.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
