I guess Dermie, like others, prefer the "peaceful quiet emblems" that recognise their history and heritage: -

I guess Dermie, like others, has still not got over 1996.

    In what way..?

    I'd say they've done pretty well since they voted no to a merger.

    I cannot believe that some person/organisation has been paid money to come up with such a bland and souless logo. It does not grab my 50 plus years demon heartstrings. A football- how original. A southern cross- great if we were miners. A trident - relevant if King Neptune is a major sponsor. It's too much - less is always more. Thia is typical agency cr--.

    A bit rich for Dermie to comment about our Emblem being busy, have you ever heard him try to explain a point he makes? That is 'busy'!

    Well, each to their own, even within the Demon fraternity. But I love it, just love it and the story behind it especially after the interactive video on the website.

    Just love, love that poem. It encapsulates everything about the Emblem and in my case had the hairs on the back of the neck rising.

    A suggestion to all - play the poem, then play the boys belting out the song after the Brissy game. If that doesn't get the red & blue blood pumping, nothing ever will.

    Cheers!

    Gee I certainly felt that tingling feeling up my spine as I listened to that wonderful poem!! It comes right from the heart.

    :)

    For many years people used to say what does your club stand for and really all one could say was we invented the game and we are the oldest sporting club in the world but is that all we stood for? but after watching whiteboard wednesdays one could see a theme coming from the red and blue blueprint and finishing with the emblem and watching the video of it I now understand what we stand for.

    For those who say the emblem is to busy I have a saying, "History is to be remembered not lived" and that is what the emblem is all about in my view so well done to the club for reminding us of what the club stands for!!

    Not surprisingly, all of the posts criticizing the emblem have completely missed the point.

    Well done MFC.

    It is busy, but not too busy.

    "Busy" is a rather silly criticism anyway.

    Do you reckon any of these emblems have a problem because they're "busy"? (l-r: Australia, Tasmania, NZ coat of arms)

    Nice work.

    It looked incredible on the Footy Show last week with the flames behind it. I'll agree that it's a busy emblem but it doesn't hurt the product whatsoever, great effort by the club, I really like it.

    Cheers DJ16. I wasn't aware of that. That explains the shield for the emblem.

    Nor was I and for mine this fact gives the shield another strong MFC link rather than thoughts of a generic lending of, say an English football teams similar design.

    No.

    The Tasmanian one, sadly Ironicle that they killed off their own Thylecine.

    • 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.
