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.

19: Lindsay

20: Sharp

Do we know yet the numbers for Campbell, Sharp, Johnson and Mentha?

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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
