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?

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 


here’s my spin of the wheel

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!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
