Yeah, and a very tough bunch of cricketers call themselves the proteas!

    i had no problem with the "fuchsias"

    no one complains about the "cavaliers"

    and what about some of those british soccer nicknames

    How about the Leongatha Parrots?

    You are correct BBO - Toronto Maple Leafs from the NHL, White Jerseys with a Large Blue Maple Leaf on the front

    oh no. its a half-way house. looks plastic.

    leave the good ones alone. keep the formal emblem, & have another informal Logo with our demon caricature on it for everyday items.

    In the main for the wrong reasons

    Also re minds me of CS, MN and DM that I am trying very hard to forget

    that is not a reason to change it, what change it out of spite.

    the emblem we have is fantastic.

    you know we have missed many many opportunities along our journey, out of stubborn spite. we could have had Matthews coach us, instead of the Lions. we could have had Sheedy a couple of times.

    we could have recruited players & didn't, & we could have kept up with trends in the 60's, & you guessed it.

    Like this a lot. Would love it if that was the new official emblem but maybe with "Melbourne Demons" in the ribbon on the front. Simple, strong, and says it all.

    it looks like a plastic bumper sticker, but at least guaranteed not to fade, I guess. cold, flat & boring. plaid like the late 60's.

    Ah yes, the Melbourne Double Dees. Should entice a few randy japanese exchange students as well, which is a bonus.

    There is a lot to fix dee- luded I agree.

    This is just a subject discussed in a week when there is not much to talk about.

    All my knowledge on logo's says you keep it simple.

    Our current logo fails that test.

    Just way too busy for me.

    agree with you d-l, definitely too plastic and too slick

    versus overly complicated and confusing

    Tis a fine line isn't it?

    I tend to agree the one taken from the Demon lounge is a bit simplistic and sterile.

    However, I reckon the one we have is way too busy and incorporates too much historical minutiae.

    While I have said we should bring back some form of the old Chinese demon, I can live with a compromise on the current one.

    Get the water mark of the original rules off the blue background and then get rid of the Southern Cross on the right side of the shield. Work out a way to get balance back into the overall logo by repositioning the football or trident after that has been done.

    Or for those who don't like the 80's Demon, why don't we bring back the 90's one? Simple and to the point and coincided with a decent era (the Balme/Daniher years). Ever since we got rid of it, we have been absolute poo.

    that's another story od, but you don't replace flawed with flawed

    as for the existing emblem, i don't mind the overall basics but agree a few elements could be removed

    it's certainly more emblem than logo and i wouldn't mind the (modified) emblem for more formal use plus a new logo for more informal use

    nothing new here, others have said similar

    however, i'm sure given time we could come up with 100 great new logos and select one, and then next year we will be back having the same debate. lol

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
