You mean no. 2 to be put in mothballs for a while, not 'retired'? Will Woewodin junior get his old man's 22?

Wouldn’t he wanna keep the number he wore in a Premiership winning side?

Maybe, but I'd give him the chance if he wants it

I also don’t believe in placing such reverence on any jumper number, despite how respected/adored/long-serving a player was. It’d likely put too much pressure on the player who is chosen to wear that number. Unnecessary pressure. Imvho, anyways. 
But yeah, if Tom wants the no. 2, I can’t see why he shouldn’t be given that. 

werridee, i want to duel, first one to type a post in all caps loses...u vs me should u choose to accept.

and as i said in another thread id be giving the numbers out

2. Dunstan 21. van Rooyen  22. Woewodin   27. Howes   39. Moniz-Wakefield

Interesting Petty has pushed Adam out. I agree and forget that Petty is still very young.

And DUNSTAN.

I haven't really followed him but I'm glad you rate him. Sounds like the club has done well picking him.

He should stick with 32. Think of the fans.

I'm still stuck with 37 on my jumper for big Maxy.

I still chuckle sometimes when I see Spartacus wearing number 9 which I still makes me think of Neitz. It's a big contrast but I'm starting to like him just as much. It couldn't have been easy for him to get where he has given his size.

Yes, Tommy should stick with number 32, it’s his premiership winning jumper after all.  
Cam Bruce went alright and of course there are some famous players from other teams in the number 32: Timmy Watson, Mark Riccuito, Buddha Hocking and Paddy Dangerfield.

I think Nathan Jones should decide what happens with highly esteemed number #2 jumper.

Personally, I like the idea of Bailey Laurie getting number #2 as he used to wear it with the Oakleigh Chargers and number #16 hasn't been too lucky for Bailey so far with his injuries in 2021.

Otherwise, either Jacob van Rooyen or Blake Howes could be worthy recipients of the number #2 jumper.

One final cheeky suggestion is to wait until Tim Taranto leaves GWS and offer it to him when he comes to the Demons! 😁

i would think:
2 - van rooyen (time for a tall to take it over)
21 - dunstan (third second hand player in a row to have it)
22 - woewodin (seems a natural fit)
27 - howes (next available)
39 - moniz-wakefield (continuing the indigenous tradition)
40 - mcvee (next available)

i'm not changing our 22 (+1) from the team that won the premiership, so...

starting squad...
B: Hibberd - May - Lever
HB: Rivers - Petty - Salem
C: Langdon - Petracca - Brayshaw
HF: Neal-Bullen - McDonald - Spargo
F: Fritsch - B Brown - Pickett
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney
I/c: Harmes - Jackson - Bowey - Sparrow
Medi-sub: Jordon
Emerg: Dunstan - Weideman - Hunt

next...
B: Hunt - Tomlinson - J Smith
HB: D Smith - Turner - Rosman
C: Baker - Dunstan - Bedford
HF: Melksham - M Brown - Laurie
F: Van Rooyen - Weideman - Chandler
Foll: Daw - Jordon - Woewodin
I/c: Howes - Moniz-Wakefield - McVee

decided not to leave the casey players in, but you'd imagine mitch white (the captain), james munro, cory stockdale, jack hutchins, cory machaya, tom freeman, and the promising corey elllison will still be key players

Edited by whatwhat say what

One of the more grating aspects of the ‘red and blue print’ era at the MFC was that every nominally key player had to have a famous number. Watts had Norm Smith’s 4. Scully got Barrass’ 31 before it being given to Grimes to remove the foul taste of Voldemort’s departure from the club from the number. From memory, they were pumping up number 9 for Trenners because of Neita and Brian Dixon.

Can’t we just let people make their own history?

I think Woewodin wants to create his on path no 22 will be in the shadows of his father. Father sons don't usually take the number of their old man. Stretch didn't Viney didn't.


2. Vacant (for now)

21. Van Rooyen (swingman, just like Pedersen)

22. Woewodin (old man's jumper)

27. Dunstan (wore 7 at St Kilda. Just put a 2 in front)

39. Howes (number he was drafted. Plus one more than 38 worn by Howe, the extra letter pushes him up a number)

40. McVee (next available)

45. Moniz-Wakefield (worn by a previous hard nut out of the NT)

Almost forgot to add my best 22 and the Casey 21 for Werridee...

I have never enjoyed footy so much as of the last six months and have never been so excited about the next season.

I'm sure we all feel the same.

Oh how sweet if this is another decade like the fifties or sixties and we win another 3 or four cups.

Yep, dominated all year, minor premiers, PREMIERS and, most recently, did well in the draft. 
It’s a great time to be a Dees fan!

Lock it in. I like the reasoning and connections where possible.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
