Hey fellow supporters,

I am a painter, and whilst photo posters are excellent, if you want to get really serious, only a painting will do. I would be happy to accept commissions from any of you! It has so many fabulous facets to it, that I suspect I'll paint a version anyway(with the 'home' uniform and shorts in replacement) My avatar is in fact a 'front on' view of the Shaun Smith mark using artists models (it's a bit hard to see I know). It is one of a triptych....front on, TV side view, and opposite side view. They are 5 foot tall, acrylic on canvas. I've also done a couple of modern impressionistic portraits of Tom Wills, both very football specific. If anyone is interested in seeing them, I can provide the relevant link to www.flickr.com where they (and the Shaun Smith) are in much higher def.

I can't see G.Lyon's eyebrows

Good Stuff....

Cheers bud. Will be an interesting response.

It'll also show the MFC how much us supporters take pride in our heritage red and blue! Maybe Keyser Snooze will realise what the bigger picture is within the email soon... when he wakes up.

The Dees are all about "community" and there's no better way than for supporters to voice themselves and help make a difference in various areas of the club. Imagery is an important one. And forum's such as Demonland are fantastic whereby a community as a whole can rally together to get behind different causes.

So... got a rebuttal, Keyser Salad???

So when do we actually find out the winner for mark of the week?

I admire your drum beating, but I find it amusing when you refer to our alternate strip with a Demon on it..as "un-demon" like. The alternate strip represents the Melbournefc whether you like it or not.

Nevertheless the email may well result in "eyes rolling all over the shop." Granted, you may receive a reply thanking you for your thoughts.

Do you have the same view on Russell Robertson's mark taken a few years ago in a NAB Cup opener against West Coast at Etihad ? It was also an alternate strip which contained white as well as a demon (even though not the same jumper from the weekend). A most memorable mark also. Perhaps you could re-paint that one too.

This is it:

Jurrah is forever getting the ball seemingly out of position...the way he moves.....its almost his trait.....I still remember the one he took over Baker last year and then showed him the ball. It was right in front of me and I was surrounded by Stkilda supporters...the look on their faces and Bakers was priceless.

"Keep you eye on the RED and the BLUUUUE!"

RED AND THE BLUE!!! THE TEAM WE LOVE, THE TEAM OF THE RED AND THE BLUE.

:) Loved Robbo's mark also... and it was good that the jumper he wore was actually predominantly red and blue.

Like when Yze's ripper goal from the pocket was eliminated against Essendon fans voting for a Fletcher bomb at the Telstra Dome.

That should have been goal of the year.

I tried that countless amount of times from the same side (lefties > righties :P ), only 20 metres out and I think I've only done it once...with a good bounce.

And I've kicked bananas from behind the goals so I'm no newbie to it

Sorry, but the jumper back then was predominantly red and blue.

Currently... it's predominantly white and blue. :/

Fairly ridiculous email to send the club.

Eyes would have been rolling all over the shop.

Comic sans is fitting.

Keyser = [censored] is fitting. The guys is expressing his passion. Take note.

Hahaha I agree with KS.

It's a wanky email to send the club, but it depends on your stance on the matter.

I'd roll my eyes and I think most at the club would.

I'd be disappointed of they didn't.

I'm sure the club wouldn't roll their eyes, I'd be disappointed if they did. If a youngster or anyone else for that matter came to you with an idea good or bad would you roll your eyes ?? Ideas, passion and enthusiam should be meet with applause not contempt.

predominantly or not it was still an alternate jumper which contained white !

Yep, you're spot on.

And silly emails whingeing about a clash strip with a amateurish attempt to change the jumper colour should be met with a roll of the eyes.

It's embarrassing to think anyone would really care about what looks like a year 9 graphics assignment.

Bravo.

    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.

    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.
