    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?

    You get outright second @Timothy Reddan-A'Blewfor picking up my mistakes!! I should have done my research more thoroughly.

    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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
