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.

    Another factor of the Tmac injury.

    Height weight and strength and footy smarts missing with Tommy out!

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

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

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
