It's KK47 or I riot.

Or KK62. A machine gun packs a punch!

 

Mur doc - I like what you say there. Kelly? We'll have a place on our list for him.

I'd even give him the number that is popular down here at Lorne which is #69.

Players wear it with pride and attitude.

1. VACANT

12. Draftee (Potentially Sam Sturt)

16. Steven May (1 better then his 17 at GC)

21. Draftee (Potentially Jay Lockhart. Think we've had a Tassie HBF in 21 before....)

23. VACANT

27. Kade Kolodjashnij  (1 better then his 28 he initially wore at the Suns)

32. Draftee (Potentially Toby Bedford)

34. DFA recruit  (Potentially Nathan Wright, wore this no at St Kilda)

37. Braydon Preuss  (like our 2 main rucks in 11 & 37)

40. Draftee (Potentially Mason Shaw)

41. Rookie Draftee (Potentially Corey Wagner, wore this no at Nth Melb)

43. VACANT 

46. Guy Walker (Max Walker debuted in this no)

47. VACANT 

48. VACANT 

49. VACANT 

50. Austin Bradtke  (same no Mark wore)

Hopefully number 1 will get a rest for a year or two. 

I agree, I’ve thought the #1 jinxed for years 

I saw on, I think it was instagram that Oliver had changed his username claytonoliver16 and Wagner had changed his username to 13 before promptly changing it. 


Why the hell would Oliver change numbers?? 

And who would give Wagner a lower number??? He didn’t even play. Maybe 13 for Casey for Wagner?

 

I've got no real issues with giving No.1 to the right player, but alternatively, we could put it to one side and say to Jessy "we will just leave this waiting here for you when you get sick of Perth and loosing every week"

Good question, I am not sure.

Perhaps rather a Jinx.

Aside from Dennis Cordner way back in the ether, there have not been many great successes at the Club in this jumper. Certainly not in the last 50 years. 

For me, Jesse's time in that jumper was a disappointment.  And it spent a considerable amount of time in the locker.

Sorry, but I don't understand where you are comming from with either of these statements.  

Jessy's performance for a guy of his age would be top 5% in the league for a key forward.

He had practically one season out of 4 or 5 where he had a stuffed back and a dog of a year last year (but still played 10 games).  Asides from that he has played around 20 out of 22 games per season.

Personally I'm just disappointed that he isn't performing for us in it as both he and the team hit peak maturity and performance.

I was keen on May as 1 but 12 or 16 makes sense too. Bradtke as 50 I’d love to see that. 


I like the idea of May in number 1.

Reminds me of the days of 98 when Shanners was the full back. He will be always a Saint historically but I always had a soft spot for him.

I'd give the all important 23 to May, the 12 to KK and 16 to Preuss.

I think I’m happy for the FD to allocate how they see fit and I’ll just learn to love it. 

What about 12 for Preuss? The locker next to Gawn!

theyd have to expand the locker sizes no way those two boys r gonna be able to live side by side for the next 4 years without getting in each others way. theres a reason the reserve ruckmen r always in the high lockers no one is around them!!

May has been told by Goody he may play forward. So No.1 is obvious but no pressure.

1 May...... Mayday.  That's your nickname

I recon Weid deserves a higher jumper number of his choosing.  Also sends a bit of a message that 'you da man'!

I'd be reluctant to give him 1 though, unless he had his heart set on it.

Leave the numbers alone.

Hurrah moving from #48 jinxed him!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
