I'll kick off proceedings.

With Corey Maynard retiring and Adam Tomlinson joining the club it's a no-brainer that he takes the vacant number 20 jumper.

Vacant Numbers:

6

20

36

38

43

45

47

Sam Frost (17) is on the trade table, Billy Stretch (15) & Jay Kennedy-Harris (24) have not yet re-signed for 2020.

    Harry Petty to potentially get an upgrade to Frosty's #17? 

    And if we keep Pick 3, perhaps they get #15 or #24?

    Considering he was 26 at Freo I think that fits nicely.

    wouldn't that mean he gets 2 jumpers - 20 & 6?

    Tomlinson should take 6. He is now old enough.

    So you don’t want him to be captain?

    How did you deduce that?  If you read my previous posts l have supported Gawny all the way for captain.

    Why should he give up the number 11 that Jimmy Stynes  wore ? Max has a personal attachment  to it.

    End of explanation.

    I don't think Max would give up Jimmy's No. if he was offered to be captain or be the best paid player in the league.

    Loyalty and honour still matter to some people - Big Max and Big Jimmy were cut from the same cloth when it comes to that and I will revere them always for it.

    I'd be thinking Pickett gets 36, close enough to Nev's locker but after a certain great former indigenous small forward in Flash. Would love to see Aaron present him with his guernsey!

    Hahah me too, I could think of nothing worse than trying to play in someone else's shadow.

     

    I grew up in the same town as a young man who was drafted to the Hawks last year by the name of Matthew Walker. Fantastic young indigenous man who has worked his [censored] off and sacrificed an enormous amount compared to other young men from the country and he was given Cyril Rioli's number 33.

    I've always felt that was the the biggest vote of confidence you can be given as a player, given the number of a newly retired champion, but you can't sense it comes with a certain amount of pressure?

    I guess at the end of the day every number has a history when your club goes back over 150 years, but I would certainly prefer to make my own number famous.

    Guess:

    6 for LJ

    24 for Pickett

    36 for Bennell

    I get what you're saying but he's a top 10 pick, pressure is going to be there whether he likes it or not and as you've said pick just about any number and there'll be history to it. I feel there are some guernsey numbers that have special association to the indigenous players we've had at the club and if nothing else it would be an absolute kicker to see Flash around the club again. (Although if Kozzie gets a first round call up his first game will be in Perth ?‍♂️)

    Besides Flash hasn't played for 7 years, it's not like it's super recent history unlike giving a player Cyril Rioli's number.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
