New Mascot

[chopper41 0]

Well ignore what I previously said about it, that was under the premature assumption it was our new mascot (silly really), but I feel it is perfect for the age group it is aimed at.

Good work!

Lol, na your right mate. I knew where you were coming from.

I cant tell you guys anything about release dates. It's not my place.

When they have released everything though I'll tell you all the story about

this all came about. It's been one hell of a surreal experience.

What is wrong with Ronald the Demon? Did someone make a mess inside the suit?

You did the Christmas cards Chop? They are BRILLIANT!

Oh OK. So it's not a new mascot, it's just one for the kids.

Mascots are supposed to be a thing for junior supporters are they not?, anyway anyone got any better ideas????

This just came up on The MFC facebook page

"This weekend is Super Saturday at the Demon Shop. Drop in to meet Ron Barassi from 12-1pm, see our new Demon mascot for the first time and finish off your Christmas shopping. 2011 guernseys will also be in stock."

So ther eyou go, Saturday we will see the new Demon!!

[DemonTux 97]

Yes there is 3. I know it sort of sounds weird, but it will make sense on Saturday.

Ha Ha Ha

I think u need to go a follow another team , maybe the [censored] cats, or the dockers ,so u dont have nightmares.

oh, this old chestnut. feels so good to be back. u still here?

Huh?

Not weird, just different and interesting (to some). With the new emblem, jumpers etc I personally love the way the club seems to finally be re branding it's self (with great consideration to it's heritage), using unique ideas within it's marketplace that appeal to all age groups. In this, 3 demons, may also be in order to appeal to multiple age groups, a kiddies one, a more fierce for us middle agers, and possibly something from our heritage or with a purple rinse and walking stick... but still a family group?

Ya really really close with that.

I love what the clubs doin too. Whether people like the collar, the stars, the emblem or the demons, atleast we aren't following trends.

Most clubs just follow the formula set by other clubs. We arent doing that. We're doin our own thing, and I reckon that's great.

There will be a page on the website tomorrow showing them all.

[Sir Why You Little 37,035]

Not sure if anyone has noted it yet, but "Checker returns to the Club as the nickname of our new Demon mascot."

Hardly groundbreaking stuff, but worth mentioning (only just).

And who is this abusive [censored] that has descended upon us..?

That's so Cool, we must never forget what Checker Hughes did at the MFC, right up there with Norm Smith. B)

[Demon_Tingles 211]

Hmmmm not sure about them. This mascot isn't exactly threatening. Or anything to strike fear into an opposition.

Good. It looks like Mr Whippie!

Are you disappointed with the 3 mascots..I'd prefer the old one-Ronnie

Strike fear into the heart of opposition?

Like the prospect of a swan, a cat or a saint?

I think the main aim of a mascot is to appeal to kids, or at least ours should, and I think these mascots do sufficiently.

They still have a human aspect to them, which is important for kids to be able to relate.

I'm more than happy with the result.
