Michael and Zach battle it out for a massive prize in the Hump Day Quiz, then we preview our chat with US Streamer Paco Luciano before his appearance on the show tomorrow. Carlton development coach Jordan Russell joins the boys boundary-side, then Nat Fyfe is at the MCG for the Amazon Prime Inside the AFL red carpet.

We are officially 15 days out from Essendon's Round 1 clash with Hawthorn, under lights at the MCG on March 13 and between now and then, we're doing something a little bit different. Leading into the 2025 Season, we counted down our Top 100 Essendon players since 1980. In 2026, we're kicking off a daily countdown to Round 1, 2026 but instead of just ticking off days on a calendar, we're counting them down through Essendon's guernsey numbers. Who wore it first. Who wore it most. Which Premiership players pulled it on. Brownlow winners, club legends, cult heroes, and sometimes the obscure one-gamer that still forms part of the story. By the time we get to Number 1, we'll be on the eve of Round 1 — and we'll have walked through more than a century of Essendon history, one jumper at a time. We'll be back tomorrow for Day 14 and Guernsey Number 14. _______________________ Links: Don The Stat Website | The Official Home of Don The Stat Don The Stat Patreon Don The Stat on Facebook Don The Stat on Instagram Follow Us on X / Twitter Jono / Ian

In 2026, we're kicking off a daily countdown to Round 1, 2026 but instead of just ticking off days on a calendar, we're counting them down through Essendon's guernsey numbers. Who wore it first.

By the time we get to Number 1, we'll be on the eve of Round 1 — and we'll have walked through more than a century of Essendon history, one jumper at a time. Jumper Number 41 — a transitional number, often worn at the very start of journeys that went on to shape Essendon history. _______________________ Links: Don The Stat Website | The Official Home of Don The Stat Don The Stat Patreon Don The Stat on Facebook Don The Stat on Instagram Follow Us on X / Twitter Jono / Ian

A Baggy Green cap worn by Sir Donald Bradman during Australia's 1947 Test series against India has sold at auction for $460,000.
