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 😅

    #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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
