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

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

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!

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...

Too busy, trying to be too many things at once

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)

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
