If I can mix fandoms (though one at least is a bit suspect these days), number 6 is becoming our Defense Against the Dark Arts number these days - someone comes in, wears it and leaves again quick smart.

    Well spotted, 31! Perhaps it should be retired, having (since Matthew Bate) adorned Mitch Clark, Chris Dawes, Jordan Lewis, Luke Jackson and Brodie Grundy!

    Mitch Clark had jumper number #11 as I recall.

     

    But yes, it would be nice for a new Demons player to have jumper number #6 for a significant amount of time.

    Jack Billings wore jumper number #15. So therefore, he could possibly move to #14 or to whatever number is available.

    (1) Supremely correct 🙂 Thanks!

    (2) Frankly*, yes!

     

    * Adams or Davis for the younger among you!

    With some trepidation, I extend @Stretch Johnson's original line of thought, over on the Billings thread, to suggest #28 (or thereabouts?)

    4. Harley Reid - Would be fitting having Jack Watts present him his jumper.

    6. Vacant. Potential new number for McVee if he wants it.

    14. Jack Billings (wore 15 at St Kilda)

    23. Shane McAdam (same number as at Adelaide)

    27. Kynan Brown (reckon we'll grab him with our pick 42. Close to Nathan's old number)

    34. Tom Fullerton (because)

    39. Rookie pick.

    From the famous let her rip Red Cloud episode.

    Many thanks, Tilly!

    I went looking for it but couldn't find it. You'd think it would've been in at least one of the longer online 'top' lists!

    I hope I got close from memory😁

    In the Amos I was no 10. Didn't care for it much and Amos being Amos there were no Jumpers for every round under the Sun and so, one day when playing our arch enemies ""The Bloods"I got my jumper ripped to shreds when I had.. Er an altercation with several of their players, Result the Only Jumper left at the bottom of the Bag which smelled like Mouse and Cockroach infested with a bit of Slithera Venom mixed with other Secretions which one could only imagine was this Moth eaten thing .... no 73. Anyway I played a cracker of a game in this thing, wondering why no one would come near me and so paid for a New Jumper proudly wearing No 73. Moral of the story..... 7 and 3 make!

    ...where I was, '72 to '76.

    But we were so nice! I'm sorry to hear we developed arch enemies!

    Who were you? (in quite a solid career, it looks like!)

    Guess we won't hear for a while but will be interesting to see what numbers all our recruits will receive.

    Don't think we did a # reveal like some other clubs did tonight?

    Perhaps #4 to Windsor and #6 to Tholstrup?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
