Is the general public allowed to take signs into games especially at the MCG? Is there a size limit or a certian section you have to be sitting in?

Ive always thought a big banner with "WELCOME TO HELL" would be good, whats everyone elses ideas?

    Yes i would love to see more welcoming signs as the Demons climb the ladder. Opposition supporters have been giving it to us for decades. The MCG must become a feared place when the red & blue are there. Look at how Geelong OWN Kardinia. We are also still at our home ground.

    The Club had a similar idea - that the MCG must be our "Home" ground - that teams should fear to play us there. So they got us a... bugal player. :blink:

    Only time I've seen the AFL have an issue with a sign was the first North-Adelaide game when Carey played, as there were quite a few around about him and Anthony Stevens' wife around.

    Josh love the idea but too often the MCG has been HELL for Dees supporters. I'll never forget that Brisbane game last year... the worst win I've ever suffered and yes not to far from HELL.

    I just wanna see a huge "GOOD TIMES GRIMES" banner in the crowd. Would make my day.

    Would give someone $20 to make a huge banner saying "I LOVE TRENGROVE, PETTARD AND MALONEY!!"

    I'd give you $20 if you spelt more than a 1/3 of the players names correctly.

    I hope this helps to the original question...

    For the comfort, safety and enjoyment of all patrons, staff and event participants, and/or pursuant to MCG Regulations and the Major Sporting Events Act 2009 the following items are not permitted into the MCG:

    - Alcohol

    - Opened soft drink containers

    - Cans/glass

    - Torn-up paper

    - Musical instruments

    - Whistles

    - Flags with handles exceeding 1.6 metres

    - Fireworks/flares/laser lights

    - Chairs/stools

    - Rollerblades, skateboards or scooters

    It's not like there will be an opposition fans to get narky at the GWS game so as long as your banner isn't one of those Port Adelaide style bay coverers or has foul language on it you should be fine.

    I'm hoping the $2m Turd doesn't even make it to Round 13.

    I want him to break down 20 minutes into the final quarter of Rnd13, with GWS 130 points down.

    Beware though , MCC attendants are on constant alert for "offensive" signs to confiscate. I suspect any of ours which feature $cully won't last !

    Why is this though? I mean, even if the players are a bit precious these days, it's not like they should actually be taking the time to read the signs. TV censorship maybe?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
