    The video clip is sensational - extremely well put together - comprehensive without being over the top or having 'ra ra' touch.

    clear, concise, coherent if you ask me.

    Quite brilliant.

    It's now up to all of us to grasp that imagery and spread the message far and wide. We have more reason to be proud of our club than any others have.It just took an Irishman to bring it all together - and communicate it

    Thanks Jim ... now you get well

    Very very minor criticism not really worth mentioning, considering that this emblem sums up everything that we stand for in 150 years of history.

    This is not our logo, which needs to be simple for advertising and corporate purposes.

    This is 'the emblem of the team we love' that tells a story of 150 years

    What do you want to leave out?

    I think most would agree that it's a great emblem. Some people just love to nitpick.

    Spot on. The medium in which it is presented will determine whether or not it is too complex/busy.

    For me this is goes back to all those things Schabby talks about in the whiteboard wednesdays. I hope this emblem, or at least the fundamental design of the emblem will still be around in another 152 years.

    Great video! I think the emblem is a bit sh!t but am not too bothered by it. Glad to see the club getting itself organised and being run properly

    The video that accompanies it is excellent. The emblem itself for me has way too much going on and for mine really says we couldn't quite decide what we are so we have included everything. The southern cross for me adds minimal value to our brand and I actually would have preferred us drop the trident as well as a sign of embracing our true past but also moving forward. You dont need a trident on the emblem to be called the Demons.

    I love the work and thought put into the emblem by those within the club and for that am rapt with it.

    There is a bit to be explained but that is due in part to the rich heritage as explained by Jim. For a club that created the rules, lost more guys at war than any other club, was born out of a football ground, there is a fair bit of a story to be told and needs to be included.

    Great work by everyone at MFC.

    I am loving what the club are doing in every single area right now and the fact they have been so inclusive towards the fans makes one feel so connected to this great club.

    What I love most is the video that accompanies it.

    The eternal flame, the way RDB explains that is amazing. So much passion.

    The trident, like Bailey says, nobody knows what a Demon looks like, but we know they have a trident. He speaks with real passion and aggression at stages through his explanation and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

    The football, well we all know what thats about.

    The southern cross is again explained well by Davey. Its about the community, the coming together. It means alot to Australians.

    Finally, the MFC. Our ties to the MCC, the MCG - our home. We grew from the greatest stadium in the world, and will forever be tied to it.

    This is truly a great emblem, one that fills me, and I am sure every Demons supporter, player and associate with pride. What a great time to launch it. Bloody hell I would hate to be the Tigers this weekend. Give them Hell Dees!

    Give me an emblem that looks busy and takes some understanding over a paddle pop lion logo any day

    I think you will find that what was trying to be achieved was an emblem similar to some of the European soccer teams, who have great histories and it is reflected in the emblem...to tell the story...google the emblems for Barcelona or Manchester United...

    You're welcome to express a view. I'm not sure why people would have a problem with what you've said.

    I really like it. And I did the moment I saw it. When one starts analysing all that's in it I can understand some thinking that it's a bit busy. But I can only go off my initial reaction.

    As another poster pointed out, an emblem is different to a logo. This emblem wraps up 150 years of history in a stylish and vibrant manner.

    I wouldn't change a thing. B)

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
