    Although I would love to see Jonesy present the No. 2 to someone next year….that’d be pretty cool

    Yep just not with us…

    Harrison Petty. Dunno why. I like the idea of a big bloke in #2, it’s been smaller players my whole life.

    On that note it’s weird to think, I’m nearly 40 and there’s only been four #2s in my life and only three I can actually remember - Tingay, Armstrong and Jones, and Flower who I never saw play.

    Not in favour of retiring numbers.

    The last premiership player that wore number 2 for the Dees was Alan Rowarth I think…played 70 games for us between ‘58 - ‘63

    I am well aware why players get attached to their number or would like certain numbers but that is where it ends for me.

    I simply have no interest in who  gets which or why. We just won the premiership what number a player was wearing means close to zero to me. But enjoy the topic guys and girls.

    Or Stephen Tingay for me. Three great no. 2’s of my lifetime. 

    Stinga was an all time favourite of mine. Pre truck, Gawn an Oliver.

    I think the number has to be rested for a bit until we are absolutely sure the next player to wear it is a gun.

    Maybe Laurie might but let him play some proper VFL first and earn it.

    Ben Brown to shave off the locks and go around in #2 next year, just to complete his transformation

    Put it straight back into the rotation. The longer it's semi-retired, the more pressure it puts on the next holder to "live up to the number 2". No-one who saw Robbie or Nathan will forget its significance, no matter who ends up with it.

    Agree.

    I can't stand it when players "move up" in the numbers as if moving from 42 to 27 is some sort of promotion.

    I'm firmly of the view that you show up to the club, you're given a number, and that's your number. Make it yours.

    Our first draft pick can be given number 2, with no fuss, and we move on.

    I personally would give it a break.

    Sparrow has done #32 proud and I am sure Vagg would agree.

    Barry Vagg was a great player.

    Stinger also played a couple of years in No.15 as has our current man in 15, #positivelingers

    Think Ed would be a very worthy recipient of No.2 and that it has a good history of being worn by wingers.

    You can see from his draft tapes Sparrow wore 32 for both SA and South Adelaide before getting it at MFC. I reckon he already has an attachment to it

    Should be retired in my view. Much like 31 and 11 when Max retires

    Number 2 has earned that prestige with Flower and Jones 

  • Quote

    You don't retire the number 2.

    Troy's number 20 was put away for a few years which I was happy with.

    I actually chatted to a mate about this today, i'd like to see the number go to a player who shows the Nathan Jones Heart, Loyalty and courage. 

    So i'd like to see Angus Brayshaw run out in the number 2, his selfless season, and performance in the Grand final make him worthy of 2

    Agree that he's worthy but hes currently locker mates with Gawny, don't think he'd want to change that to Mayzie and Salem. 

    Don't mind the idea of Rivers. Keep the backline together.

    Give it to the next recruit that's grown up barracking for Melbourne.

    But would you want a new number after having won the Premiership? (The Premiership. Still can’t quite believe it.) Wouldn’t you want to retain the number you were wearing while you won THE PREMIERSHIP? ❤️💙

  • Quote

    Remember when Jeff Farmer changed to number 3?

    He went back to 33

    Give the Number 2 to Luke Dunstan 

    Keep the Premiership Numbers as they are

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
