Fridays should be Demons Day

[Guest melbman]

Having spent a couple of enjoyable years in Townsville where every Friday was Tropical Friday and the wearing of a Hawaiian shirt was the done thing (all in the name of fun), I have the idea that every Friday, through the footy season at least, should be Demons Day.

The way I imagine this would be every Friday we wear either a Melbourne scarf, tie, beanie, jacket etc to and from work or have a scarf hanging out the car window etc.

I'll be kicking this off this Friday morning by wearing my Melbourne scarf on the Belgrave line to work in the city, Flagstaff station, and back again.

I'll also be encouraging as many Dees supporter freinds to do the same.

There has been a recent rise in Dees gear on TV with Ernie and Coxy recently showing our famous colors to the TV viewers of Oz and we should follow suit.

Hopefully I'll see some Dees colors on the train this Friday.

Cheers

I have been doing this for the last few years whilst living in Adelaide and have never been more proud than the day a young boy came up to me on the train and said "My Dad barracks for the Crows and he makes me as well, but when I grow up I am going to barrack for the Demons because I like Flash & Aussie".

The boy would've been no older than 6 and he was on his way to private school for the day.... You should've seen the smile on his face when I replied "Well this is the 2008 membership scarf and I want you to remember the day you became a true Demon supporter"..... as I put the scarf around his neck! "Keep it in your bag and put it in a safe place until you are ready to tell your Dad" I said....

One of the greatest days of my life that was!

Wow that's so cool, almost tear Jerking. There is still life in the demon yet. Austen has been the recruit of the year no worries

Haha, nice work.

I wouldn't imagine there'd be huge support for the Dees over there..?

Brilliant KJ, brilliant!

[Guest melbman]

Just a reminder to anyone interested that tomorrow is Friday Demons Day. So if you can scarf it, tie it, beanie it or even flag it for the day it would be great

cheers

I'll now wear my demons tie every Friday & tomorrow I might just hang the scarf out the car window. Interested to see the reaction I get.

I work in Chapel Street and the increase in the amount of people I see wearing Melbourne scarves since our win against Brisbane is amazing!

Funny, the number of expensive cars with Melbourne stickers in Brighton (where I work), has remained the same

If I was allowed to I'd wear my Melbourne scarf to work and convince all the rich snobs that annoy me to spend less money on unflattering clothes and more money on the MFC.

[Little Goffy 13,042]

Well, I'll just add it to monday through thursday.

Actually, I give it a rest once or twice a week, just so people at work know that I'm making a choice to wear the scarf, not just tossing it on every bloody morning.

Anything that boosts our visibility and makes it easier for us to spot and celebrate eachother's commitment to the club is good.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Mate. Every day's a demons day for me. I have 3 scarfs and a gurnsey in my car, as well as the stickers. Melbourne is a cold place and I always wear my scarf when it's cold.

The boy would've been no older than 6 and he was on his way to private school

Private school? Any chance we could get him in the new 150 club? Seems like demons supporters DO have a type, even when they're from another state. And they don't even have any snow in SA... do they?

Well done though KrazyJay. The story sums up so many things, not the least of which the kind of selflessness required from us if our club is to be great again.

That said, could you imagine if some guy slipped your son a crows scarf, or shock-horror, a pies scarf? He may as well try to make out with your wife... I can't think which is the worse line to cross....

You're a true demon KJ.

For all my uni exams i did a few weeks ago I donned the 98 melbourne jumper (The one made by canterbury). It's a long sleeve and cause of those chilly mornings in the exam room, it's the only thing i'm proud to wear while keeping myself warm.

Just slip them a 150 Club flyer on their way out

I will, in 8 weeks time when I finally get to quit.

I might just snow the entire place in Melbourne flyers

[Guest melbman]

I didn't see any other Dees colors on the ride in this morning as I Dees scarfed it all the way to Flagstaff, I know they're out there somewhere

I was lucky enough to have my Dees supporter status woven into the ever changing & booming limerickish lyrics of the Flagstaff Doggies supporting Big Issue seller as I strode past. Cheers to him for his merry ways.

I have to say I have enjoyed the first half of Friday Demons Day

That bloke is a champ.

I got the song last time I wore my scarf past him as well.

[beelzebub 22,752]

that's it Jaded...you'll need to do a few carpark runs !! lol.. ought to be easy to spot the DEE-cars...

[demonfanjezza 1]

Well done KJ, enjoyed reading that

Up there in Sydney, it has been cold, so i have been wearing my demons scarf and hat to keep warm

A friend of mind just knitted me a jumper based on the MFC guernsey and a beanie. I like it

[Guest melbman]

Tomorrow is your chance to show the world that you do more than just post on the Demons forums ;-)

It's Friday Demons Day tomorrow. Show your loyalties on the way to work, School etc with a splash of Red & Blue

cheers
