It's a bit disappointing that our new recruits aren't wearing their numbers on their training tops. At least they weren't last Wednesday at Gosch's.

It's also disappointing that the new draftees don't have their photos on the MFC website against their jumper numbers.

    Jumpers to be presented by … ??? 

    some suggestions 

    Demon numbers:  
    Daniel Turner - 10. Angus Brayshaw. 
    Koltyn Tholstrup - 12 Todd Viney 
    Harvey Langford - 19 Ray Biffin
    Xavier Lindsey - 20    Colin Garland 
    Tom Campbell - 29   Juice Newton 
    Harry Sharp - 30   ANB 🤣… Paul Hoppy Hopgood
    Ricky Mentha Jnr - 39   Nev Jetta 🤞
    Aidan Johnson - 42   Russell Robertson 

    I would have gone with Harvey Langford - (Darren Bennett) 19 Ray Biffin  

                                      Xavier Lindsey - 20 (Matthew Febey)   Colin Garland

    really hope kolt dons a headband like todd for the ultimate mullet / headband combo

     

    I did notice yesterday Vines is growing a rather Todd-like mullet himself, I think soon he’ll need the Todd headband! Complete the look of his old man :)

    The headband is a good ideal, but it needs to be red not white.

    It'll cover up the bleeding

    I’m tipping that Jack Henderson gets #43 so he gets a locker next to his former Werribee teammate Aidan Johnson.

    That could be a good get WJ.

    34 of course remains waiting for next National Draft.

    Has grown to match the metaphorical stature of Todd over the years, so might as well take on the look as well.  I'm not sure it will eventuate, but I'd love to see Jack captain the team in his own right for a season or two.

    Just goes to show that I get all my footy news from Demonland, not the MFC's own website.

    But thanks for providing the link.

    You don’t know what you are missing if you don’t read BOTH.

    Is the setting aside of number 34 a gentle wink to supporters that Kalani has chosen the Dee’s? To be honest the GC will struggle to get him with their other academy picks looking more advanced. If he were to choose GC at this point I think we should hold a sit in at Jeff’s house.

    At Gosch’s last week I asked Ricky M why he was wearing #34. He hadn’t realised he was wearing the wrong jumper and when he did all the boys laughed. Then young Woey asked me “who’s #34?” I said “Kalani White” and they loved it. 😁

    Virtual certainty, I'd say. Only the months-long-foreshadowed-spoken-for #34 available earlier. A Werribee Pod is a bonus.

    The only other thought (another nod to the Werribee alma mater):

    #50?

    I agree that jumper number #43 would be perfect for Jack Henderson.

    Could even get Guy Rigoni (a former wearer of number #43) back down to the Melbourne Football Club to present Jack his jumper in his first AFL game!

    He said in his interview on the club site that his locker’s next to AJ’s.

    On the Dees app, Henderson is listed as our number 43 👍🏼

    He signed his first (fan’s) jumper today which belongs to a little buddy of mine. He put 43 next to his signature so I asked if it’s official. He said, “Yeah it is, it’s great coz I’m right next to Johnno.” And just like the eejit I am, I asked “Who’s Johnno?” 🤦‍♀️

    Disco was wearing #31 today (Will V was wearing it for the first quarter like we weren’t confused enough already) and it reminded me that I’ve yet to see Disco in the #10 guernsey. At training he always wears a numberless guernsey and even Harves (Bison) and X have their numbers. Wondering if there’s a reason for it.

    Don't tell me Harvey Langford or his teammates like the nickname "The Bison" or just "Bison"?

    I actually suggested "The Bull" or "The Bison" as a nickname in another post a few days ago. Mainly because he seems strongly built and very determined.

    Unfortunately, my nickname suggestions aren't as creative as Rex Hunt. But happy for "Bison" to catch on. 😎👍🏻

    Oh make no mistake… Harvey LOVES the nickname Bison. I couldn’t remember who had suggested it (now I realise it was you) but at training yesterday I told him someone on Demonland suggested “Bull” or “Bison.” He scratched the bum-fluff on his chin, deep in thought then said, “Bison, huh? Yeah it’d be very cool to be called Bison.” Then this morning I saw him and said, “Good luck today, Harves!” He turned back and said, “Harves?” I said, “Soz. Good luck today, Bison!” The smile said it all. 
     

    edit: I’ve already told a few of the boys and so far they all agree that it’s a great nickname for him.

    That’s what I thought it might be. It’s definitely different to every other assignment of numbers.

    They might be planning something around it for round 1?

    Hahahahaha! That's brilliant! 😁

    "The Bison" is now official for Harvey Langford.

    Thank you for that! Never given an AFL player their own nickname before.

    I used to love "The Ox" David Schwarz though! I actually can't remember who gave him that nickname (maybe Garry Lyon?) but I do remember he apparently had a number plate on his car that said "The Ox" back in the late 1990s or early 2000s.

    Now we just gotta get BT and Bruce McAvaney to start calling Harvey Langford "The Bison" when they commentate on TV.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
