No disrespect to the current crop on the demonland banner but I believe Jack Grimes should also feature.

I know it's not as simple as banging up a photo but just thought if you guys have any upgrades or refreshes due soon that it would be a good sign of respect.

    Agree and had requested this be done when the new capts were announced last week.

    Grimes should go in.

    But am I right in thinking we didn't have Green there for all of last year? After all, he was the captain.

    Grimes is out of the banner injured

    I'm surprised I haven't seen the official banner updated with Frank "Grimey" Grimes.

    What's the holdup? Is it copyright that's holding up proceedings? Or a server issue?

    How about just putting up the whole leadership group, with our head Coach,,, bookended with some of Our AFL Legends.

    There's only one guy that can update the banner (Andy), and with him having a family, a job and a life, I'd say it'll happen when he gets around to it. Everyone can just wait patiently in the mean time.

    Psh....I can't imagine any of those things being more important than an online footy forum.

    One small issue is that the template used for Demonland is a variable width template which means it adjusts to the screen width of the device being used.

    The player image part of the banner is approx. 900 pixels wide, and if you veiw DL on an iphone or ipad which has a screen width of 1024 pixels, Beamer only just appears.

    Unless Grimes replaces an existing player eg Beamer or JW and instead is simply added at the end (as DD has done), he will not appear on the aforementioned devices.

    My suggestion would be to replace JW with JG. DD may also notice that players on the RHS of the banner face left, so I'd think there would be a better image of Jack available.

    Maybe if the image attributes were a percentage of screen width (or table row/table data width) it may solve that issue. I guess it depends on how it affects the rest of of the page layout

    Sometimes you never know with templtes till you give it a crack and see what weird and wonderfull things happen as a result

    Or now that Jimmy has stepped down, Neeld could be moved left and Grimes in. Suggestion. Don't wish to upset the natives.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
