Just wanted to start a positive thread to distract us about tonight's game (the thug and his mob 🤢).

I was listening to a podcast and they mentioned the great RDB #31.

Some here with more knowledge of this great and old club can certainly add more names:

31 - Barassi, Fritsch

11 - Stynes, Gawn

13 - Jakovich, Oliver, Yze

Who are the greats all time and what number did they use?

In 1965 I was 7 years old and a rabid Demon's supporter. My grade 1 teacher Jan Dalton and her husband Denis had become family friends and would visit for meals on occasions. One eve in '65 Jan and Denis arrived without a bottle of the usual red but with  a brown parcel which was handed to me. Upon opening it I saw a Demons guernsey with the number 5 on the back. Jan said Denis had swapped jumpers post match at the '64 GF but couldn't stand having the red and blue in the house - thought it'd be better off living in a household of D supporters......#5 has always been  my fave.

Number 21: worn by the great Don Cordner, former Melbourne captain, Brownlow medallist and Melbourne, Cricket Club president.

Have to add Laurie Mithen to that list. Absolute champion.

I find the #6 has been an interesting one, if not legendary. It has seen the following players

Scott Thompson 2001-2004

Matthew Bate 2006-2012

Chris Dawes 2013-2016

Jordan Lewis 2017-2019

Luke Jackson 2020-2022

Brodie Grundy 2023-2023?

 

With Matthew Bate the only one-club player on the list in the past 20 years, and playing just 102 games, it feels to me that this number has become the designated jumper for players who are not long for the MFC. Luke Jackson did it in reverse, starting with us then nicking off after a flag but the idea remains.

I must point out that the greatest of them all (in my humble opinion) was 6 times premiership player Frank Adams (6 by 6)!😀!

  • 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?

    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.

    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?
