In what I think is a marvellous bit of PR type stuff we have snared Tony Hawk as a Demon.

Tony Hawk and the Demons

big deal many might think ...but this guy is an absolute dead set legend in his chosen sport..probably without peer i,d suggest. To get images of this ultra cool guy in the red and blue will I guaranteee you give a bit of street cred in places we probably mightnt have it.

All these little things all go to getting us back in the public's face in a better way. Wel done to the guys.."bravo...bravo !!" :)

already some good exposure for our new sponsor..!! :)

    I'm probably showing my age, but I've only heard of Tony Hawk because he was on the Simpsons. Skateboarding is obviously popular with kids, but unless Tony Hawk starts skateboarding with a Melbourne beanie, I don't think that it'll generate massive exposure for the club. I think we're talking about different demographics.

    Someone like Chad Reid, who also makes a fortune, would also have limited benefit for the club.

    Now to get Tony Hawk to sponsor us, that would be huge exposure.

    Imagine a skate legends business on the back of our Jumper, that would be cool!

    all good ;)

    I think whilst conceding there are as many aspects to demographics as there are pizza toppings ..lol.. that to have someone of Hawk's ilk don a Melb jumper ..is actually pretty good stuff. Whilst many skaters arent probably footy nuts..some are. We arent big in the minds of youths..and this is an area that was brooched at the summit..i.e how to get into their mindsets..hence also the youth summit !! In itself its no panacea but its another little thing that goes into the conciousnesses of some.

    Some kids might feel it a bit daggy barracking for that supposedly traktor skiing bunch but if they see things like Hawk in red and blue then a different perception starts to creep in.. that's good for mine :)

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
