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.

Bruce will continue to wear number 17 at the Bulldogs.

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

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

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

edit: looks like 47 actually

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?

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

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

6. Grundy

12. Hunter

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.  
In fact believing in  superstitions always brings bad luck 🙄

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
