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

Melbman

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

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 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 :rolleyes::lol:

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.

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.

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 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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
