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

28 replies and no #36 Aaron Davey.

He was all the rage a couple of years back.

2 or....what number is Carroll again?

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!!

Clint Bartrams

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

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

36 or 2

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

2

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

Who doesn't loveeeeeeee Ben Holland!?

oh i didn't forget him.

40 he will be back or 4

1

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

Bob McKenzie. Number 2.

I thought that was Phil Read :D

I love the unfashionable underdog
