Not sure why but my first impression was of the afterglow resulting from thermal annihilation !!

Not quite a warm and fuzzy feeling lol

My first thought too when I saw it - or the landscape 5 minutes after the final siren MFC vc WCE

I would have to say that i'm not always simpatico with Osiliks views but Dunn deserves a spot on our banner. In my humble opinion he is in our top 8 players and is arguably our most consistent player and perhaps our most underrated player.

He misses few games through injury, hits targets by hand and foot, is good in the air and rarely gets beaten one on one. Seriously how many other players on our list could tick all those boxes.

If it's arguing against one Nate Jones then it will lose, hands down, every single time.

I've never rated Dunn but funnily enough I do agree that he is in our top 8 most consistent performers (unfortunately I just see that as a representation of where our list is at).

I also don't think he's banner-worthy just yet. Maybe it's that mo etched in my memory from the past few years (I still picture him with it) but he's just never been a marketable player in my opinion.

Yep, fair call. Would you accept one of our second most consistent player?

For now, yes. But I would love to have this chat again this time next year!

PS In regards to the banner, I personally wouldn't mind seeing some faces from the Team of the Century (keep in mind I'm a newcomer so forgive me if it's been done before). Ron Barassi, Jim Stynes, Norm Smith, Robbie Flower to name a few. There are some absolute legends in that team.

If I have such powers then I really need to figure out how to use it for good instead of evil. Either that or work out a way to monetise it. :)

Put a couple of filth players up, see what happens?

not sure why you would take the old one down without first thinking of a replacement

What makes you think I haven't?

I know what players and images I'm going to use I just haven't finished it yet.

I also like the suspense. I wanted to do it before the season started but life got in the way.

I think we should just wait yo see who stands up consistently this year and add them as we go.

Jones is a given.

Put whoever's fit on the banner.

Should be plenty of room for all of them.

If Matthew Whelan doesn't make this incarnation of the banner I'll crack it Dale Kickett style.

Paul Roos and all of his Melbourne premiership players.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
