I realise there may be a few more possible delistings.

But from my understanding these will be the following jumper numbers available for any players drafted or traded in for next year's season in 2023.

It will also be interesting what jumper number Brodie Grundy may end up receiving at the Demons?

The following jumper numbers available for season 2023 are...

#2 - Nathan Jones retired in 2021 and the number was left retired for season 2022.

#6 - Luke Jackson is going back to his home state of WA to play for either Fremantle or West Coast.

#12 - Toby Bedford requested a trade to GWS.

#19 - Fraser Rosman has been delisted.

#28 - Majak Daw has retired.

#29 - Jayden Hunt has been picked up by West Coast as a free agent.

#38 - Mitch Brown has retired.

Anyway, that leaves at least 7 available jumper numbers for next year.

Personally, I think Brodie Grundy will be given either number #6 or number #2 but number #12 might be an option too.

Anyway, we will have to wait until about December or even January 2023 to find out who will be given which jumper number.

 

 

 

 

No. 29 will never be the same 😢

Except yes it will because Eden Zanker wears no. 29. 😍 don’t ever leave us, Edo!

And I won’t have to rename my chook. JH is still apt since they’re Harmesy’s initials too.

Try facing this to inform of a forced name change…

So long as no current MFC player changes jumper number, which is the most ridiculous thing football players and clubs do.

The only time I don't mind it is if they are coming down from something like 47 to inside the first 20. Th idea of changing numbers to 'reinvigorate' careers used to seem really strange to me.

Grundy gets 12.

Then the comps best midfield is sequentially numbered.

10  Brayshaw

11  max

12  grundy 

13  clarry.

Trac to be half forward and jack goes wherever the danger is.

I love the synergy of this.

Nah I can't get around it, ever.

If you come to the club and get 47, make it yours.

Geelong's premiership 22 had O'Connor in 42, Stewart in 44, Close in 45 and Blicavs in 46. None of them have felt compelled to "move down" to a "better" number.

The (1)1-(1)2 punch gets my vote.

Stynes should have stayed 37? Tingay 52? Schwarz 44? Neitz 38?

Good players move to the good numbers!

Liam Jurrah was twice the player wearing #48 than he was in #24 🙄

BBB was a premiership FF in #50 

Edited by monoccular

Grundy takes #6, Pick 13 takes #12, Hunter grabs #19, Schache takes #28 (Omac's old number) and Pick 37 takes #38. Jones #2 takes one more year of absence and we give it to one of our 2 first round selections the following year in what is touted to be a super draft!

1 May

2 Hunter

3 Salem

4 Harmes

5 Petracca

6 Grundy

7 Viney

8 Lever

11 Gawn

****UPDATE****

#26 - Sam Weideman has now been traded to Essendon.

-----------------------

I really like some of the suggestions for jumper number changes.

I also understand the argument of making a number "your own" too. Ben Brown has certainly made number #50 his own and I like that.

Each to their own I guess? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I am not against the idea of giving Joel Smith his Father's (Shaun Smith) number #29 jumper if he wants it? I feel number #44 hasn't brought Joel much luck, due to injuries, and a change of number might do him good? But only if he wishes to do so and it doesn't put too much pressure on him?

I do think jumper number #2 should be reserved for an extra special player though. It has a lot of history attached to that sacred number with Robbie Flower, Stephen Tingay and Nathan Jones having worn it.

Nevertheless, it's always fun to speculate and see who gets their suggestions correct. 😉

Not forgetting the dual premiership player, the great Alan Rowarth. Only 70 games because of injury, but a great Demon with a 70% win rate. Thanks Alan.

I get the romantic notion of your suggestion but, seriously, how could a change of number possibly make the slightest bit of difference to a player's form or luck with injuries?

Shhhh! The other numbers might hear you!

What constitutes a “good” number? Serious question.

How do we know who will become an “extra special player”????

The jumper number, while special in the heart of the individual player, is otherwise meaningless.

That said, if I had my way #29 would never be issued to anyone ever again. 😭 

In fact, every other club would be forbidden from giving their #29 to a player. Ever. 🙃

  • 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.
