    Luke Jackson has been given number 6 and Trent Rivers has been given 24.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
