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)

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    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.
