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

    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.

    Some surprises there with JVR now donning the #2 and J.Smith inheriting his old man's #29!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
