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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
