Apart from 31 what is the most famous MFC jumper number? 

Posted (edited)

In recent times:  Jimmy's 11.

He won his bronwlow in it. 

Subsequently cherished and worn proudly by Maxy.

Number 9 - Neitz, Dixon, Fowler,  Alan Johnson

Its available with Trengoves departure.   Maybe Lever will take it.

Also got pipped  in the 1975 Brownlow.

Great that he had success at North in 77.

Even though we didn't have success he made up a great centre line in the 70's

I thought he defected and went to North chasing the Premiership he got in '77 but I met him and he explained that Skilton became the coach at the end of '76 and even though he was the Captain sacked him saying he was rebuilding with youth. (Sounds familiar). He was devastated and thought his career was over but then got a call from Barassi asking him to come to North. No wonder he did a cartwheel on his wing when the siren sounded and he won a Premiership at the end of that season.

4 Norm Smith - 4 and 6 - greatest football strategist, player manager in VFL history. 

31 Ron Barassi - 6 and 4 - most competitive and successful footballer ever? 

2 Robert Flower - our most exceptional and graceful player

11 Jim Stynes - the most inspirational player story in the VFL/AFL's short history!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
