I'm tipping that Jai Culley gets #44 so he gets a locker next to his fellow SSP recruit Jack Henderson.

Kentfield is 44. 46 the next available with 34 seemingly reserved.

    Correct.

    Luker Kentfield is jumper number #44.

    Jai Culley will probably take number #46 or perhaps number #49 which he wore at the Eagles.

    OK so #46 it is. Not a bad idea. His story is one of perseverance and resilience and the two blokes in adjoining lockers are going to need to follow that example in the coming year.

    Mickey Reynolds for the jumper presentation  ?

    Jai has been told he’s #46 and he’s bloody happy with that. He’s bloody happy to be with us, in general. Haven’t asked about his nickname yet. The night is young 😅

    #34 will be vacant until next season

    😉

    #47 and above are unassigned

    We did, thank you SD. There weren’t as many of us this year mainly due to the outrageous jump in ticket prices, but we were still as boisterous as always. It’s easy to forget we’re not in M3 at the ‘G just yet 🤭

    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.

    I was put out by Schwarter getting The Ox, simply because my surname is Oxley, and that was my brother's nickname when he played junior footy!

    Expect the debut jumper presentation by Dean Terlich?

    Was struggling to think of players who previously wore 46, so consulted the great Demonwiki 

    http://demonwiki.org/Number+46

    Was amazed to learn that the great state cricketer Brad Hodge played a reserves game for us wearing this No. back in 94.  Must be a bit of a cricketers No. as it was also worn for a year by Maxy Walker.

    Troy Simons probably being the  most noteworthy wearer of the jumper asides from Turlich (who I thought played a few good games for us)

    From some of the videos put out by yhe MFC, the two really seem to get along, which is awesome IMHO.

    It is awesome and really imperative. Every one of the new boys has been warmly welcomed and made to feel like part of the “family” and it shows.

    On the subject, considering the reports of Dan Houston deciding against a move to the MFC because of supposed ingrained toxic culture problems, etc., I’ve asked each of our new guys individually if this was ever a concern for them or their parents. Without exception, all said that it wasn’t. They’d clearly met with our club with open minds and seen for themselves that they’d be part of a great club.

    Anyone who says yeah but at the time of Houston possibly wanting to come here the culture was indeed terrible, I say no, culture and values and integrity of a club don’t change overnight. I’m not denying we had problems, coz we did. But the dramatic and scathing reports are clearly incongruous with the trust parents of rookies are showing for our club. IMHO.

    46 is a bloody good number. I've never been happier to see someone get it, never ever.

    Terlich finished 3rd in the Bluey behind Nathan Jones and Colin Garland.

    Thanks, I didn't reacall that and I wasn't trying to be sarcastic about Terlich playing a few good games.  In my personal opponion, he showed signs of potentially becoming a really good player given where he'd come from as a mature age recruit.  It's just a pity that maybe he didn't quite have it in him to go to that next level where the team was heading towards becoming an elite backline. 

    Similar story for Colin.  Was actually a little disappointed that Colin didn't remain on our list those years we had the success, as I always thought he was an honest contributor in the period we were getting smashed every week and it would have been hell being a defender at the MFC.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
