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.

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: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
