Is the Demon Back?

Featured Replies

Posted

Was just watching before the bounce on fox and they were talking about Stynes and Billy said one thing he wanted to do was bring back the demon and do away with melbourne fc?

How does everyone feel about it?

Although i came to accept melbourne fc i think i would welcome back the demon logo with open arms and be known as the demons!

 

Bring back the fiery Demon.

We're not soccer club. :angry:

 

Definitely bring back the demon logo. I can understand what they were trying to achieve, but it was never a good move i think......

Well, I still thinks it's a storm in a teacup, but people do really seem to be pretty attached to the Demon.

That said - the basic insignia of red and blue is much more visable and recognizable, more easily included in any marketing campaign, and easier to include in packaging designs on merchandise. It's also possible to put slogans across the red and blue background for a bold effect.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still wearing my old gear (right now actually - that's a warm jumper they make) with the demon logo on it, and I love it. I'm also very attached to the title 'Demons' with all it's history - does anyone thing the Hawthorn coach cae out one day and said 'play like hawks', or Collingwood were called the Magpies for any reason other than it was the only black and white thing they could think of?

BUT - the demon logo is too complicated, with pieces, and faces, and stylisations. It simply doesn't do the job as a logo being immediately recognisable with instant impact.

Never lose the Demons from our heritage, damn right. But the simpler logo works for me, and I think it would be a waste to go through the process of yet another rebranding.


If we're so worried about identity, the absolutely... Better to have something than nothing.

I'm sick of being the Fuchsias. The sooner the Demon is back the better.

hmm, lets see if www.demons.com.au is restored yet....

 

Good.

I'm not sure who passed the MelbourneFC concept but taking the most image most easy to identify with the Melbourne Footy Club away and replacing it with a bland no soul MelbourneFC was kidding themselves.

Will ALWAYS be the Demons.

Whoever took that away from the MFC this year, no matter what the reason, I hope has been sacked!.

Long Live The Demons

Yes bring it back for sure.

I specifically wear my old DEMONS beanie to all games I attend rather than my newer hat without that wording!

What do we all yell at each and every game we attend? ....... no more need be said!

DD, I agree with you. I have grown to like the MELBOURNEfc logo which is largely the blue with red v, the strongest image of our team - look how a demon image is so much less effective in the alternative strip (both current and past).. And we are also the demons! Look at the filth. They will not give up the b&w vert stripes for anything, but continue to be the maggies.

leave the logo...but change our name from melbournefc to MFC 1858

yes we are still the demons but there is nothing that i like more this year than our logo

the old logo looks very outdated


Will ALWAYS be the Demons.

Yup!

As much as I love 'melbournefc', I prefer the DEMONS much more. How can you beat our famous 80's logo...

I too have grown accustomed to the logo, which is something I didn't expect when I first saw it. But we must bring back the demon. It's good for the kids to have that icon, like the mascot at the ground or in those comic things.

I have no problem with the club being Melbourne fc.. but the 'marketing ' is teh DEmon... thats what has to be pushed.. We are teh MFC who are the DEMONS !!The monicker Demosn at least instills some backbone, some ferocity..some.."something"... Melbourne fc just seems like a toffs smoking club really by comparison !!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
