I'm sure this isn't news to most people on the forum, but the poem that Rupert McCall wrote for the unveiling of our new emblem, is simply amazing. If you havent seen it, definately, should check it out in the mfc site, in bigpond videos.

Thanks for the heads up, MM! Didn't know anything about it!

Just watched and listened. After seeing the video presentation on the explanation of the new emblem, this presentation by Rupert is the perfect icing on the cake! Truly awe inspiring stuff!

I sure hope they play it on the big screen to the players in the rooms on Sunday just before they run out on to the MCG...!

I can't believe more people haven't commented on this. It is just SOOOO inspiring! If you haven't listened to it, be sure you do! If you have a dry eye at the end of it, you better check your pulse, because you must be dead!

Could listen to it for hours on end and not get sick of it. Stunning work by Rupert, bloody magnificent.

Like others, I had commented on this in another thread Vagg. It was a wonderful poem by Rupert. Great idea launching it with the new emblem for the Mfc. Adds to the nostalgia and rich heritage of this great club.

Love it!!!!

Heard it on SEN on Thurs arvo - listening to it gave me goose bumps and a huge amount of pride to be a Demon man - had a silly grin on my face while listening to while driving the truck! lol. Just watched it again - again with the silly grin!

Would love it if the club put it on the screen before the game tomorrow - told my old man about it & he wants to see it.

this is so good! I want to get an emblem with this poem underneath framed and put it on my wall!

I'd certainly buy one of them from the Club.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

Still no number on Campbell’s

    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
