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.

I think Mclardy should be up there as well. Given he is steering the ship, this isnt a call to take Jimmy down either, he should be there forever

I'd only have players that have actually done something on the banner. I definitely wouldn't have Watts, but i understand why he's there.

How about players earn it ?

Can you make a "banner" with just one player?

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.

I propose we replace the current members of the demonland banner with the geniuses from On the Couch.

only if there are red and blue roundels shown between their eyes !!! :unsure:

Time to omit Beamer and replace him with Mitch Clark

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".

Hold your horses, apparently Moloney 'isn't gone yet'.

Clark and Howe, good suggestions!

Isnt a free agent only taken off a clubs list if the club declines the chance to match an offer from a rival club?

Just cause Moloney has indicated he wants to leave doesn't mean someone will offer.

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?

Just have Demonland written, no players, just the emblem. The pics seemed to be jinxed,

Agreed.

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

I think I may go down the route of using past champions. Anyone have any hi-res photos of Robbie, Garry and Neita. The internet isn't helping with Robbie and Garry.

PM me if you do.

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.

I really like this :)

    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. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
