Indications from early summer training are that the Kolt is going to move from 39 to 12.

 
 

My least favourite thread of the year.

I long for a year in which everyone just keeps their numbers and the only numbers to be "given out" are to new players.

But, sadly, that won't be this year, with Tholstrup apparently taking 12.

Does anyone have a rationale for how they choose a number that would suit a new player? Is it based on their personality or something?

I was thinking Langford might get 12. Had 2 at Dandy, 22 for Vic Co. Think he likes a 2 on his jumper. Not that I have any clue. 

 

10:Langford

19: Lindsay

20: Sharp

It’s not really our choice about what no each player is listed. 

Either they negotiate or accept the final Guernsey no offered to them.

Simple as we just watch on and marvel at the choice each year.

Surprised with this choice.

But perhaps they want to retire number #10 for a year or someone is moving from their current number to this number?

It definitely seems like Koltyn Tholstrup is moving from #39 to number #12.

I'd give 10 to Aidan and stand him next to 'the Thug' on Kings Birthday.

I think that’s a good idea, out of respect for Angus.

Nev's old number for fellow indigenous backman - I like it.

Speaking of which, I missed this bit of news:

On 8 October 2024, Nev was announced as the senior men's coach of the Fitzroy Stars Football Club for the 2025 Northern Football Netball League (NFNL) season.

Also gets him away from that filthy Collingwood bunch, so I'm just as happy about that

Sorry to rain on your parade but he’s staying on in his role at Collingwood as well as coaching Fitzroy 😂

Agreed, I think it's too soon to see someone else in 10 just yet.

Fitzroy All Stars is a community club specifically for Aboriginal players and competes in the NFNL.  Like any community club I doubt being coach would be a highly paid role.

Cool thanks for clarifying.  Recall actually going to one of their grand finals Vs Heidelberg back in the mid/late 90s with my old man and one of his indigenous work colleagues.  Was a pretty wild and rough affair both on and off the feild.  Somehow I had in my head that this might be a team from Fitzroy Crossing in Northern Australia where maybe their may have been a little more professionalism, although that is probably still pretty grass roots type level and budget.

Goes completely with Neville's character to be seeking out a role giving back to the comunity than merely financial gains.  Still a great opportunity for him to coach a team in his own right and maybe build towards that at the top level at some point.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
