    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.

    Would love 10 (Gus) & 30 (ANB) to go to Langford and Lindsay. Two premiership heroes who have sadly departed but replaced by two young guns.

    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.

    • 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.
