Demonland Banner

I suggest the current photos 6 to 8 from the left together with the 2013 leadership group should represent the MFC's present & future not the past.

I am old enough to have enjoyed the performances of the club legends photos 1 to 5 from the left but there must be a few others alive & dead feeling a bit peeved at not being included eg Brownlow medallists, other club legends, best & fairests, goal kickers etc.

I got a 2013 MFC calander for Xmas with 16 players photos on it - 5 have " gawn " you beauty !

Don't think for a moment I'm denigrating 1 to 5 but they simply can't win win us that 13th on tradition alone, its along time since 64.

We Neeld to pump up the tyres of this generation of players,staff,board&lapsed supporters & members.

Please address any replies to Demonland as I know its a bit quiet on here, I,m only a newbie, !!!!!

1 to 5 embody the spirit that the current crop need to summon if they are to go on to the ultimate success. The banner is entirely relevant as far as I'm concerned (and I'm also old enough to have been around to see 1 to 5 representing our club).

Might want to update your favourite players while your at it.

Suppose I should update mine too.

 

From a practical point of view this banner is easier to maintain than solely having current players who can fall out of favour surprisingly quickly. I think last year's banner included Jurrah, Green and perhaps Moloney - all logical inclusions at the beginning of the year. I think Demonland (Andy) has it just right balancing tradition with the here and now.

I like the old to new banner


There was a thread a while back where Andy was taking submissions from anyone who wanted to design a new one.

Personally I like the old to new theme on this. The only change I would make would be a better shot of Robbie, but a lot of us looked and couldn't find one.

I like the new banner, but would love to see the big fella Neitz added. Only 300 gamer, longest serving skipper and leading goal scorer. Surely that gets you up there?

 
personally i'd have checker hughes before geddy lyon - much greater influence

How about Ivor Warne-Smith ? What a player he must of been ... our greatest player ? He coached us as well and was right hand man to Norm Smith .

yes macca he was a good 'un (even if he did go to wesley..........just joking)

2 brownlows (at 29 and 31) and he played in the nwfu (tas) for the ages of 23-26, supposedly a player's best years, after playing for mfc at 22 for only one year after returning from ww1

not only the coaching but chairman of selectors till he died


I like it. Norm Smith was an absolute legend. Wish we could bottle his spirit and share it around.

The banner is great. Top Job.

I would adjust one thing.

Last years image of Jimmy in his Blazer and Scarf.

Thats the Jimmy i remember most.

I miss him

While i like the banner i do find myself seeing 4 people missing from it

Ivor Warne Smith , Frank Checker Hughes , Hassa Mann and David Neitz

Just my 2 pence

If we are going down that path, i think we need one D Neitz on it.
Seeing as he holds the majority of records, and probably one of our all time greats.

Also, i think N Jones should feature. Held our club together on-field this year

HT there's a few other suggestions coming & I could rattle off 20 more in our time.

The days of the thermos & rugs have gone ! I'm not saying the the banner will win a flag it should reflect our present & future.

If you have " no favourite players, its about the team " then surely 1 to 5 go & up goes the whole 2013 team !?

Not at all... the banner is not about showing off individuals or the team and is not just about the past; to my mind, it is symbolic of the MFC spirit through the most successful period in the club's history (1 - 5), and represents the future of the club by displaying the current coach and captain(s) - the past is what shapes our future and should not be so readily dismissed..

I know it [probably wasn't intended, but I actually find that "thermos and rugs" term a little offensive. That was a time when they played hard uncompromising footy and they played with integrity... these are values that it would not hurt the club to re-instil into the playing group - not everything that is old is old fashioned.

if I was to make any suggestion about changing the banner (and I have made this suggestion in the past), I would suggest that the incumbent Bluey holder should be included (currently Nathan Jones).

Hey PuntKick, I know it was hotter than hell here in NSW yesterday, so should I consider the above heat affected, or were you actually trying to say something? ;-)

Okay. I can't resist. Where's my namesake...??? (Only kidding!)

I like the current banner. Well done, Andy!

do you think he got his point across?:)

i saw it last night and wondered the same.

Maybe his ADSL boiled...

great shot of Robbie, if you ask me - he was a hard worker and it shows - and this is exactly what he looked like under fire just before he ripped 'em open.

It's the eyes... Robbie, Norm and Trenners

Sorry I should clarify. Higher resolution shot of Robbie. That one is a little blurry, looks like it came from a newspaper. Finding higher resolution shots of him has proved difficult :(

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
