Jumper Numbers 2018

Featured Replies

 

Lever No. 8 - Will locjer up next too Viney.

Balic No. 20 - Obvious choice I think.

Corey Maynard No. 9 - Corey has a tonne of characteristics you want in a player. Will play 22 games this season I think.

Joel Smith No. 27 - True backman number for the Dees. Sean Wight, Anthony Ingerson. 

No. 4 - Who knows?

Like Lever in 8.

Don't quite know why (probably because I think of 33 as more of a speedster/Wizz type number), but I'd prefer to see Maynard in 20.

Would like to see Joel Smith in 27, as I think he has a bit of Sean Wight about him, the way he plays hard and athletically at the footy and as a defender, that make it a good fit to honor that number (can't recall if Shaun and Sean ever played together).

Well according to Demon army reports, looks like I got Lever and Maynard, but Balic has 27.

With 4, 8, 9, 20, 27, 31, 33 & 41 Vacant. 

What numbers do Jake Lever & Harley Balic get?

Do any current players get an upgrade?

Jayden Hunt upgrade to 4.

Joel Smith gets 29 (that his father wore).

Weideman gets 9.

Lever gets 8 (next locker to Jack Viney).

Balic gets 20.

Is this confirmed or your wish list?

...well the last is a bit of a wish list, as I understand that Maynard has 20.

I somewhat like the thought of Smith in 29, but Hunt also has ties to 29, being some relation to Andrew Obst as I understand.

I think it's Andy Moir he's related to.  Andy wore 29.

Spargo in the No.4, then all the little kids won't have to look up to a new player in the number, they can look him straight in the eyes. ?

(Edit: And I think he'll get plenty of game time)

James Harmes #4

Can confirm, Harmes asked for #4 and they gave it to him, also;

Lever #8

Spargo #9

Maynard #20

Balic #27

Fritsch #31 

Petty #33

Baker #35

That's all the Number changes for next season (so far)

Why not? What is the harm or cost in changing jumper numbers?

Agree, who knows maybe James Harmes wore #4 regularly as a junior , maybe it's his lucky number , maybe he thinks he can run faster with less weight on his back

Who cares - good on him for asking and thank goodness we didn't leave it vacant in some pathetic gesture to honour the departure of someone who is no longer on our list

I for one think Harmes can be a regular member of a very competitive football team - don't remember not putting in when it was his time to go - hope he has a blinder of a season

It’s just the vibe but i like Lever in 8. 

Loving Harmes claiming the #4 the very second that other bloke was out the door.

Yep. I think if I were a player I'd want to make history in whatever number I got first up, be it 1 or 50, but if it gives another player a nice little buzz to get a number more of their choosing, I don't understand why supporters would throw dirt on it. It's a gift the club can give its player that literally doesn't cost anyone anything.

It's being pedantic, I know, and I'm probably fighting a losing battle, but I don't like the idea that moving to a lower number is in any way an "upgrade". It's just a meaningless change which serves no purpose other than to annoy those supporters who have already purchased a jumper with that player's original number.

I know that if I was rewarded with a spot on the list and given any number from 1 to 99 I'd want to keep that number for the whole of my career, however long it may last. Players should be encouraged to stick with the one number and to make their own history with it. And the idea that a lower number is somehow a more privileged asset just seems like another way to differentiate players into the "haves" and "have nots" (meaning, in this instance, having the confidence of the coaches). I would have thought that's not the best way to unify a squad.

It's a throwback to the 70s and 80s where your jumper number was indicative of your place in the world, and the senior players all had lower ones. I would have thought we would have moved past that by now too, but when was the last time you saw a player freshly drafted on the rookie list get a jumper number lower than 30? Hell, it wasn't that long ago that we had Chris Connolly putting Blease and Strauss in 46 and 47 because they had to "earn" lower ones.

It all seems silly from the outside, but once an idea becomes ingrained in culture it becomes hard to break. Just need a few confident young stars to strut in and go "jumper number 95, please" and it'll start to get some momentum. In the mean time, we can have this conversation over and over again every year on Demonland!

If we're giving Petty number 33, surely his nickname has to be LP.

Clever!!  (I wonder how many of the young posters on here will get that?)

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
