Rest it for a year!

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.

Me either.

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.

Give it to Rivers or Sparrow 

If i just won a Premiership i wouldn’t want to change my number. 
stick with 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 

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? ❤️💙

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
