I don’t think Tom would want to change numbers. He won a premiership playing in his current number.

I also don’t think Joel would want #29 as there’s the potential for comparison to his dad. 

Keep 32 Tom.

You share it with another Dees player who won a Premiership at 21 years of age - Barry Vagg.

    Cam Bruce played a lot of footy in 32 also.  It was good for T.Watson and M.Ricciuto.  It has got some weight.

    eagle eyed observes would've seen grundy in 6, hunter 12, schache 19 and KFW ?7 (looked like 17 to me...however the only one that would make sense would be 47 due to availability) in the recent training gallery and footage, a matter of we had them in stock due to who wore them last year or an indication of their 2023 numbers i wonder

    I think more sizes from previous season 

    6 Jackson to Grundy

    12 Bedford to Hunter

    19 Rosman to Schache

    Mostly like for like height wise. 

    I reckon Jefferson would look good in 12.

    I am always amazed by these threads on player numbers. It is  a subject I have little if any interest in. As long as the player  plays well I don't care if the player he wears is 1 or 99. Can someone explain the interest in what number a player wears?

    can you explain why youve come here to contribute nothing and grumble rather than just clicking on a thread that does interest you and reading that instead? its interesting and a bit of fun

    Yes it’s the annual “guess what number the new recruits will be wearing”? 

    Available numbers 

    2, 6, 12, 19, 26, 28,29,33, 38, 39

    recruits 

    Grundy, Hunter, Schache, Jefferson, Adams, Verrall, Sestan, Farris-White.  
     

    with Chandler getting promoted to the senior list, he might be “upgraded” to a lower number

    will Moniz-Wakefield get a lower number.  I’d like to think so

    That’s a big list of players.

    I wonder if #2 will be put on ice for 2023 and then in '24, given to MJ or if Freo's 1st is a top 5 pick, a ready-made gun midfielder🤷‍♂️

    You already have half of them wrong. Grundy is 6, Hunter is 12, Schache is 19 and Farris-White is 47. Interesting to see what numbers Jefferson, Adams, Verrall and Sestan are.

    Ok.  I didn’t read anywhere that MFC had already had numbers allocated.

    I wouldn't take those numbers as gospel, pretty sure they were wearing this year's training kit so it was more a size fit than anything else.

    I could see us Holding on to 2 for a bit longer and having Jones present it to a player at a more special time, could even  offer it to a Sparrow or maybe  Chandler if he has a good season

    19. Schache

    26. Jefferson

    28. Sestan

    33. Verrall (saw him wearing it in U18 footage)

    38. Adams (saw him wearing it in U18 footage)

    47. Farris-White (seems done already)

    39 available for a potential pre season rookie selection.

    2 & 29 remain available of all numbers between 1-42. 2 out of respect for Jones until a worthy recipient comes along. 29 just because.

    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?

    Superstitious nonsense.

    The thing that stands out about this listing, for me, is that we have a hellishly good team. I don't think the players would give a flying pancake about the number on their backs - to be part of this team is a true achievement. We are really going to shake any opposition as we are starting to look like a team, regardless of the individuality associated with respective numbers.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
