I have begun to notice a common trend down at the Melbourne Footy Club...
Whenever an indigenous player changes their jumper number, bad luck seems to follow them.
When Jeff Farmer switched from 33 to number 8, he has a very poor season, causing him to change back the next year.
Austin Wonaeamirri switched from 39 to 33 at the end of the 2008 season and has played half a NAB Cup match since.
And the most recent one, Liam Jurrah, switches from the 48 gurnsey to number 24 and cops a 4 month injury.
In contrast, Aaron Davey has been worn the number 36 since his debut and is one of if not our best player. Please dont change Flash.
