Thats awesome!

It is about time that the heritage and traditions that this great club are built on start to mean more to our current players

I think this is fantastic and don't want to devalue it in any way...

But isn't this par for the course these days in AFL changerooms?

Yes it is. Nevertheless it's important.

I like the write up they've done (looks as though it's on the inside left of the locker), which gives some brief insight into the history of each number. As opposed to the inside right panel of all the previous player's to have worn that number.

I agree - the write up is something i've not noticed before.

Very nice touch.

The names/numbers are par for the course. The narrative most certainly isn't.

Yep. But it is this exact facet of the sport - that of culure - that the MFC has needed to bring back!! There's a long way to go, but all the guys working for the MFC headed by the inspiring Jimmy and the driven/motivated/experienced Cam Schwab have done an excellent job in getting it all underway. :)

I have to say our club isn't doing much wrong at the moment, it is only a matter of time when the performance on the field will catch up to the performance off it.

Yep and shows exactly how far behind we've been in even getting to this point. But it starts somewhere and the club, Jim, Cam etc etc are doing such a great job...

The narrative is great and will help exemplify to young players how much of a rich history we have.

The old lockers only had players names who had played 100 games on them. I think it is great to have the history with the name of every player & years played.

I think it will also be good for those who start with a "high" number to see others who also started with a "high" number. In the past, not too many players names would be on high number lockers because not too many played 100 games with that number. e.g. Jim's 37

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
