All current day players. Enough looking back. It's time to look forward.

Just out of interest sake, who qualifies for a photo on the banner, or do they have to earn it.

For example, does watts qualify? Has dawes and clarke played enough games? Trengove has had A bad run, as has frawley. Howe?

Garland should get a guernsey but then again, many were writing him off a couple of months ago.

I am just suggesting that players earn their spot, for example, player of the month is "hogan", and up his photo goes.

Or you could do it where a player has unanimous support on this site (almost) and a ceromy is kinda held for the new 'champion' on the banner.

I just reckon a player per day is too quick and it loses a bit of importance. Also, the actual players might feel that it becomes like an honor board for them.

You can try to forget the past, but you cant delete the past.

So I would retain Norm and perhaps add Checker Hughers on the outer sides. (Checker gave us the Demons).

Stynes in the middle, Robbie, Barass. Then add in current players, only because what we have going around havent been much to rave about. Jones, Clark and a few others mentioned above, we are a bit thin for nominations that deserve it atm.

Honor before honors.

Jones has earned his place so far. Don't like the pic though. Something that show's him in action....all G&T.

The Fox and Checker on either side maybe as DeeVoted mentioned.

I would include Jimma but maybe hovering inside the MCG banner as a silhouette, watching over his Demon brethren.

From there i'm not sure whether we have any "past players" or just go with new. Maybe 2 or 3 past Champions with special significance but limited to 2 or 3 greats only. The rest new.

Whoever we place on there from here though....i think it should go to a straight out poll, with nominations from the Mods.

And please, no complicated Rangey style polls....just yes or no!!

The banner is completed and a new player will be revealed each day leading up to the game against the Saints. i appreciate the suggestions but I can't please everyone. I also can't just change the banner every few days or weeks as it takes a bit of time to do.

Love it. No other current players until they're earned it please

It makes sense.

The problem with our culture over the last 6 years is that we have gifted respect before it has been earned.

Please let players earn their photo on the banner, it may take 5 years to fill, and is only removed once they retire.

Long term strategic thinking.

A lot of selective memory by many on this site, Garry Lyon was a champion on the field don't let the decisions with the coaching choice sway your views on that. For me Demonland banner should consist of

Checker Hughes - Created the Demons Legend

Norm Smith - Greatest Coach the game has seen

Ron Barassi - Legend of the club and the game

Rob Flower - another club legend in barren time for the club

Jim Stynes - a legend, a great man and a true demon

These 5 should always remain on the banner and IMO the other spots can change with current coach, current captain/s & the Bluey winner from the previous season

You can you know :)

Sleep on this. Have the banner with the legends of the past. Then the banner drops down after 60 secs. to then display the New. or it morphs into a banner with the new. We get the best of both.

It keeps repeating at intervals

agree sort of, but can I suggest a refinement. respect is a birthright for all living things.. can be lost thru disappointment.

But If you mean we give them status or cred before they've done anything much,,, just on U-18's reps', then I'd agree.

* & I wonder if we could make a past & present players & admin's/directors picture album, on another page?

Watching Demonl(andy)'s daily selections for the banner currently holds more interest for me than the Match Committee's team selection on Thursday nights. Not sue if that says more about the team or my state of mind.

Therapy is just a phone call away

Whilst a rotating banner would be possible - done with Flash, javascipt or as an animated gif - it would not appear on most mobile devices.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
