    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: 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.

    • 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.
