My daughters Jumper, what number should she have?

No 21. I've read reports on here how good he was with the kids at a few of those footy clinics. Gets down to their level. There's even a cute King Charles Spaniel pooch at the Sandringham games that wears his number. (and another wears one for Bruce) Wouldn't that make a cute photo for the memoirs?

6 or 2. but really i want to say 4.

bring back benny.

See. The people love him.

4.

I'll be proudly wearing my red-with-off-centre-demon jumper at the cattery this week with the dutchman's number on my back. Dutchy's performance in the one point win there at CHB is one of my favourite footy memories.

He should be though.

Not playing him is the reason we've been smashed in the first two weeks!

I thought that was Phil Read :D

If we are lacking pace, Valenti will struggle.

2 and 10 for mine.

I still think Grimes would be a good bet!

Bails does sound like he loves him though... And a number of our players lacking pace might very well be moved on this off season. I suspect a number of indigenous speedsters will be on the list next year a la Port...

2 - character is everything

There hasn't been anything to enthuse about in rounds 1 and 2, so you could probably do worse than go for an untried youngster. Jack Grimes (No 16) seems to have the right credentials ....... if we can ever get him onto the 'G'.

"Grimes is a medium defender/midfielder who is an exceptional reader of the game and a very good decision maker. Captain of the Northern Knights TAC Cup team, Grimes averaged more than 28 possessions per match. Possesses excellent endurance and has recorded a beep test of 15.10 with the AIS-AFL Academy. Named as an All-Australian at the 2007 NAB AFL U18 Championships" (Player profile, MFC Website).

I've also read somewhere that he displayed outstanding leadership qualities as a junior.

It's a terrible reflection on where the MFC are at at present that I'm suggesting an untried player number for your 'pride and joy', but on the other hand, imagine the bragging rights 5 years down the track, when when Jack is widely regarded as a superstar, she'll be able to claim that she wore his number even before he had played his first game .... even better if she can get it autographed and dated!!

Shite! ....... and 30 seconds after keying this, I read that he's now been placed on the long term injury list!

I want it to be someone who hurts for their club, who shows courage and passion, and who shows strength in times of adversity..

#2 or #3...I say go with #3.

36 or 2

2....10....or 1 ( in that order)

2

robbie, stinga, jones........

Don't forget Army! :wub:

I'd go with 2 or 3 or 4.

Who doesn't loveeeeeeee Ben Holland!? :rolleyes:

I thought that was Phil Read :D

Or Peter Walsh :D

I love the unfashionable underdog :lol:

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
