The way some of you are dancing on Moloney's "grave" is appalling. Given us 8 years of service to the best of his limited abilities. Hasn't even actually left the club yet FFS! And I'm VERY surpris

It seems a little rediculous that the co-captain of the club isn't already on the banner. Give Grimes a Go!!!

And Clark and Howe for obvious reasons.

A suggestion for the next banner. How about past quality players such as Flower, Lyon, Neitz, Stynes (as a player), Barassi, a couple of Cordners (not David), etc. Reminds us of what we were and perhaps what we should aim for. And no annoying embarrassments should a current player leave or perform so badly they don't belong there.

Whoops, sorry. I posted this while using my phone, which probably wasn't showing it all properly.

I still think the banner should comprise the coach and the leadership group.

Edit: and maybe Jimmy Stynes should have a permanent place to the left of the Demonland logo/MFC "coat of arms".

I will be redoing the banner for the new season. No need to take down players yet. If Jurrah walks I can easily erase him from the banner. Ditto if we dump Moloney. But I won't do anything before there is an official announcement.

Having said that the banner had been a bit of a jinx for players and officials in the past few years.

Thats good to not jump too soon.

But please can we put up Our REAL success stories from our rich History.

Premiership Cups & Premiership Hero's, & Robbie Flower, Schwartz, Neita, Lyon, et al.

Putting up our current crop prior to them becoming what they can be, is a small part of our failing culture.

Cant we have a mix of people who have given us history and the people who will make history?

Good idea - Norm's curse might extend to these images if 2012 is anything to go by.

Infact didnt we start going downhill from the time we adopted the new coat of arms thingie with the southern cross?

In all serious though if you do add Mitch Clark - that image of him walking off being helped with the beard, the bezerker look in his eyes and his lips mouthing the f word in utter fury would be ideal.

Agreed.

Stuff the player banner. Use it to honour our legends past and present.

I really like this :)

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
