    Perhaps it’s just the player wore more than one jumper number for Melbourne. Jetta fits this but he startrted with 39, then wore 50 In one game, then back to 39.

    Similar for Jack Grimes who started with 16 and then changed up to 31.

     You guys are lucky it’s not a @Demonstonequiz. Your joint apology would fall on deaf ears. 😉

    Lampers has indeed killed the quiz and is thus disqualified.

    Demonstone is the winner.

    Lampers also managed to kill part B which was going to ask which two went from a low number to a high number.

    Mods, I expect a heavy suspension (unless it turns out Lampers' last name is Cotchin in which case a mild rebuke is fine).

    In what order did Steven Tingay wear 52, 2 and 15 and Sean Charles wear 44, 1, 18? These orders  as recorded in my copy of 'Melbourne F.C. Since 1858 - An Illustrated History' (2008), suggest they join Nev and ol' Grimey?...

    Very good. Add Peter Moore as well who went from 10 to 30.

    @Witches Hat, I presume @WalkingCivilWar and I just get a Cotchin no-hard-feelings handshake?

    According to the impeccable Demonwiki, Tingay went 52 -> 15 ->2 and Charles 44 -> 18 -> 1.

    That is also how I recall the sequence.  Your source may be incorrect (?).

    Thanks for the various follow-ups, @Witches Hat an @Demonstone. No mistakes there, Hat; my Tingay/Charles post was only an (albeit speculative😉) question. My google has 'lost the link' to Demonwiki, Stone, and the other usual sources are short on the info, so I only had recourse to my book. Stinga was No.2 in his pomp in the '90s (pivotal in rusting my children onto the Dees, btw); I certainly couldn't remember him in 15 later on.

    Stone deserves the silver, Hat. @WalkingCivilWar and I will happily podium, dead-heated, on the third tier, eh, WCW?

    ...though does it count that Stinga got - but never got to debut in - No.17 at the Swans?😁

    Sure! We can share the podium. I’ll get Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. You can have what’s left. 
     

    You’re welcome!

    @Witches Hat, we need all the quiznerds we can get, so I think newbie(?) @Lampers - who, after all, was impressively quick! - should be let off with an in-(quiz)house reprimand. And maybe a little something from the trophy cabinet?

    Definitely a Certificate of Achievement at the very least!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
