    Unofficial (of course) but at training today some players had some new numbers.

    #3 - Laurie (obviously with Salem still on the list this was random

    #4 - Langford

    #5 - Lindsay

    #11 - Mihocek (doubt Maxy is giving up the #11)

    #14 - CJ

    #38 - Oscar Berry

    #46 - Steele

    Max Heath did not have a number on his guernsey.

    Lock in 4, 5, 14 and 38 as above, and Steele in 9 of course.

    Culley lusting after 13.

    19 and 20 for Picks 7 and 8.

    There's a pattern emerging - 3 and (?) available for 19 and 20 next year....

    Clearly the other teams are worried about us: number swapping a tried and true method for throwing spies off.

    On the other hand, a risky strategy for Melbourne. The 1958 GF says hello...

    I must admit while it'd be an honour for a player to get former superstars' number (regardless of why they left) I too would rather see those numbers rested at least next year. Also while being assigned a single-digit number would be cool again I agree with the idea of Langford, as one example, sticking to #19. But why, oh why, are big numbers so bad? I don't get how a number like 16 is good but reversed 61 is some kind of insult. We're not talking about football boots or a weights program either of which might affect a player's form.

    There are potentially 99 numbers available - using more of them makes it easy at times to rest numbers and/ or reserve some so that Gawn's 11 or Robbie Flower's 2 isn't just handed to the rookie list champion under-18s rollerblader who could be anything, but probably nothing. How cool would it be if some player took number 53 or 72 or 97 and a few years later are a much loved and well above average player and even for a few years after "Willow Jans-Heston" finishes on 286 games his number 97 is still seen on the jumpers of Demons supporters (or Swan or Bulldogs or whichever)? Unlike nearly any other number 97 would automatically be associated with this player for AFL fans, and some of the general public. I'd love it if a rookie decided to be different and made a high number something. Xavier Taylor for #79! 🙂

    Not yet. But you have to assume steele will be 9. and jiath is likely to be 14. That leaves 19 and 20 free for new draftees

    Kinda surprised Brody Mihocek chose not to continue in the #41. It's certainly available now that Kynan Brown is no longer on the list.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
