It’s a sign that the club really really really see JVR as part of the future.   And want him to stay no matter what the two western Australian teams throw at him in years to come !!

    Great to see Smithy wearing his old man's jumper.

    I can (just) tolerate JVR moving number because he never played in 21.

    But Smith moving from 44 to 29 grates my gears.

    Yes, 29 was his dad's number. So what. Make 44 your own, Joel!

    Is 7 years before changing numbers some sort of record?

    People changing numbers doesn't phase me, although I personally would stuck to the 1st number given to me. 

    Having said that stoked to see Rooey in Twoey! #FreeRoo

    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.

    From todays announcement, got 5/8 for the new players. If only I’d seen Hunter in 12 as you had noted it’s be 6/8.  
     

    Great to see JVR get #2.  I’m sure Stephen May #1 will get into JVRs ear about what defenders try to do. What a better mentor could you wish for.

    The Power’s Robbie Gray changed from 17 to 9 in his 7th season after his knee reconstruction

    Sometimes players have lots of injuries in a particular jumper number think by changing the number they might get a better run with injuries, yes players are superstitous.

    New Demon numbers:

    2 – Jacob van Rooyen (from No.21)

    6 – Brodie Grundy

    12 – Lachie Hunter

    19 – Josh Schache

    21 – Matt Jefferson

    26 – Jed Adams

    28 – Will Verrall

    29 – Joel Smith (from No.44)

    38 – Oliver Sestan

    43 – Kyah Farris-White

    Loving the confidence of young JVR to want to take on the famous #2 - will be nice to see that special jumper back out on the ground 

    Have a sneaky feeling that our new #26 might impact sooner than some think - his draft footage was very impressive, looks like he has good disposal, can take a mark, capable at both ends of the ground

    apparently brayden maynard has taken grundys 4, he would've been at pies for longer than 7 years right?

    43 – Kyah Farris-White

    Verrall is now listed at 200 cms tall.

    Assuming Farris-White is not stooping, either Verrall has grown, or Farris-White is not 206 cms. There doesn't seem to be 6 cms difference in their heights. Also Verrall seems more than 4cms taller than Adams, so hopefully Verrall has grown. F-W and V are big boys. With those 2 and Scahche at 201 cms, we seem pretty ok in the ruck after Max and BG.

    Whatever, we have certainly added some height to the list this year.

    And I sing Hallelujah Redleg, I thought that we were exposed for lack of height coming into the finals this year.

    But are you sure that’s not just a stage you’re going through? 

    Whether it is or isn’t, doesn’t faze me.😀

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
