Currently looking at grabbing one of the nifty longsleeve guernseys from the MFC website.. 

Wondering if I can pay extra for a number on the back (10), or if the club is no longer doing this?..I know that they used to years ago?..

Additionally, I'm be interested if all Demonlanders were given the chance to obtain a free jumper from the club, and you could get a number on the back to represent the love ofyour fave player, which number would you ask for?

Go Dees

Pretty sure they still press numbers on underneath the G at the Demon Shop.

I go number 2 (on both my guernseys and duffel coat), always seems to cover someone in the past everyone loves and the current one looks alright as well!

They do. I bought a jumper along with a bunch of other stuff and they pressed the number on at no extra cost.

If you bring a jumper in just to have a number put on there’s a charge. I don’t know how much but I’ll find out on Tuesday since I’ll be taking a different jumper to the Demon Shop to get 37 on it.

Well, I'd be getting it for the lovely person sitting next to me, and she is convinced that Bailey Fritsch is her brother (he looks Vietnamese, for sure!) so it would have to be 31.

Somewhere in a box at my mum's place (a casualty of multiple moves back in more adventurous times) I have a guernsey signed by Max Gawn before he had even played a game (pre-season, 2010-11). I feel like I should back that up with 11.

Only ever had the #5 since the Ox. 
 

Althought if I was to choose one other than the #5, I’d have a hard time choosing between the 36, 1 and 24

Yeah I always need a #5 in the repertoire. The one I have currently was from Trac's second season but homage to Ox.

Last season I bought a long sleeve at the Brunton Ave shop and had a #5 pressed on. The pressing was $15 then I believe. Couldn't order online with the number pressing included as there was no option to do so, but it was all easily arranged in store and done very quickly. Very happy with the result! Good luck.

How do you actually request this though? Last time I bought a jumper there was no option or comments section.

Well, I guess I'd have to go with 'My Boy' (sorry, @Lucifers Hero; 'Our Boy'...), 41.

But he'll be losing the '4' 2027-ish, and I hear the press-on is pretty good quality, so I won't rush.

My boys were talking about getting 37, but I’m worried Kade may be offered a lower number now that he’s tearing it up.  
 

Number 2 could be a solid investment in the future… hopefully 36 is as well.

You just need to ask the salesperson. There’s a little room out the back of the shop wherein there’s one of those old school presses (think Bea Smith on Prisoner). They do it on the spot.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
