    God i hate scarves....between the 3 melbourne supporters in our house we have 30 scarves...no joke...a free one every year for the last 10 years.

    I wish they would offer an alternative such as a tie or a flag.

    I wouldn't mind a beanee... an el cheapo wrist watch (Dees logo on face, blue and red band) or some such thing in the kids' member pack wouldn't be bad either - as long as it's analog and not digital..

    You had the option last year of refusing the scarf and either getting a Demons Shop voucher or giving the extra money to the club.

    I've got almost as many beanies as I do scarfs - they are really good, but I end up only wearing them when I go camping or to the country. They aren't too flattering... not that I'm vain or anything

    I want them to bring back the bandana.

    Beeing based in WA i never really saw the point of them, but I flew over to watch the Dee's / Hawks game last year and sitting in the olympic stand with the wind howling and a massive chill factor i found a new respect for the humble scarf.

    I hand out the scarves and each year the Membership Team research what to give out the following year and each year it comes back that the scarf is the most 'popular choice', femaies don't want any sort of hat, tie, who wears a tie to the footy?....etc etc..so yes the Club does listen, it is interesting that the scarf is so 'unpopular' yet at every first game of the season we run out as Members collect theirs

    I think that's more a case of people claiming what they're entitled to as it is of people loving the scarf.

    I often opt out of receiving anything, but the club still usually sends me the scarf; not quite sure what the deal is there.

    I would hate to disagree, but we also have a bin full of the packaging removed from the scarf, as they put them on........

    I have no doubt that people wear them when they first get them (if they purchase their membership before a game), but I'd be interested to know how many people ever wear the scarf more than that first time. It's easier to wear it than to carry it around with you.

    My bet is that the majority of membership scarves end up in the back of wardrobes.

    The MFC should create an initiative to recycle old scarves and give them to new immigrants and young people. This would prevent the scarves from wasting away, and would help (hopefully) to grow the supporter base.

    Not Maroon like the last two years I hope

    I think your going to be disappointed, not much improvement in the red (if any)

    sorry OD

    I like the scarf. It lets everyone know who is a member and who is not and I find that guilt works to get new members (especially in the MCC).

    part of the reason is that the members scarf has the membership year on it, so most members don't want to appear to not be current members by wearing last year's scarf (quite obvious)

    remove the membership year embroidery and the scarf option will be less desirous

    I don't mind the scarf but sometimes I'd like an alternative like say a cap

    some days a re just a tad warm for scarves !!

    For pet memberships a handkerchief scarf (just a square) for dogs to wear. My Lab would proudly wear his.

    Love the viney bandana given that I can see cult hero worship emerging amongst all teenage boy members.

    I love my scarf because it shows that I support the Club not only as a fan (not the "fan") but also financially.

    I suggested a couple of years ago a long weatherproof navy coat with red inside. I have one that I bought from a hockey shop which was not expensive. A little bit of demon embroidery would make it ours. I am happy to show anyone from the Club if they are interested. Maybe they can make contact with the manufacturers. I often get comments when I am at the football as to where I got it and many presume it is a MFC endorsed product..

    If you have a lot of scarves you can sew them together and make a rug. Looks great. Get you wife onto it.

    I ended up getting some wool and making a scarf blanket for my daughter. She loves it!

    • 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?

      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.
