    I confess my irrational fascination with this topic.

    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.

    You are a true  and loyal Melbourne man R (B) G.

    I wonder if this is their final 2020 numbers or just three available training jerseys that fit the new recruits (Frosty similar size to LJ, JKH similar size to Kozzy, Maynard similar size to TR).

    Yeah I think so. I was also told Rivers will wear 24 (by the man himself).

    At training Jackson had 17, Rivers had 20 and Kossie had 24.

    I am intrigued  with the number of people who are fascinated with this subject.

    However it being December probably accounts for it.

    Why F5?

    I have no interest, the only interest I have is on game day. Who has what number means nothing besides identifying the player.

    The interest in such minutia is part and parcel of being a real footy fan. Such trivia is quite interesting and to players it is often of cardinal importance. And of course to past players, who gets to wear their old number is often very important. “Doing the number proud”

    Seriously!

    I know is a very long time since I played. My only interest was getting a game the number I wore meant nothing to me.

    Please forgive me if I sounded flippant (I didn’t mean to) but it’s interesting talking to past players (as I sometimes do at lunches) the interest they take in their old number, and the players who wore it after him. And when a player is assigned a number he goes up to his new locker and on the outside is stencilled the names of all previous players who wore that number. It’s just an interesting sidelight to all the trappings of football.

    I was always under the impression that you had to have played a certain number of senior games (50?  100?) before you were given the honour of having your name on your locker.  Clubs may have different guidelines about this qualification I guess.

    I believe there are some restrictions on the number of games played, however when I visited the locker room at AAMI park some yers ago I was intrigued to see so many names on each locker (not sure about locker48 though). I was on a quick tour and had no time to take too much notice. Still I’m not sure if you played just one or two games you’d be given the honour.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
