Pretty sure it's: Garland, Viney, Trengove, Vince, Jones, Roos, Grimes, Frawley, Howe, Hogan, Watts

I thought the same thing Good Times.

I thought Tyson may have been able to sneak in but he has plenty of time to earn a spot.

Just not sure about Howe,

I look forward to the day when Clark and Dawes demand a spot up there.

I reckon you've nailed it.

Maybe not ... That looks like Tysons scone second from left.

I didn't think Chip would wanna be up there until more players were revealed so he knew the direction the banner was taking before committing...

A banner with only those who have earned a spot would be interesting, may I suggest it would reveal Roos, Jones, Garland and Frawley, no one else at this point.

Vince and Watts under consideration.

I agree Graeme, the banner should be floating with those that deserve to be there, there and those that don't, not there.

We could have it showing the top players from the week before according to the Demonland player of the year.

Are you trying to create more work for me?

I disagree with those that say players need to earn a spot on the Demonland banner like I'm or we are the judge, jury and executioner. These are guys that are representing the club we love. They represent the stars, our leaders, our club and our hopes for a brighter future. Not many, if any, of us have played at the highest level so in my eyes everyone of the guys that I've chosen to represent the club on Demonland deserves a spot. If you don't like it, avert your eyes and please don't you dare cheer them on when they kick a goal, take a courageous mark, lay a fierce tackle, dash down the wing, burst out of a pack or bleed for us.

I started attending MFC games well before any of the current players were born and in some cases their fathers were born.

I've seen players come and go, I've seen them win enough to get us in to finals, I've seen them win so few we've finished on the bottom.

The current bunch have done very little to EARN my praise and it's neither here nor there whether they make the cut on the banner, as far as I'm concerned.

To be honest if it was done on pure dedication and giving100% every week, there would be only one player up there; Nathan Jones.

Tyson should be on in front of Viney at this stage

How and why? Viney being a father son of a melbourne great who has played more games and been more successful...joke

Posted

I'm going to be honest and just say I hate the current banner. It's far too cluttered.

We currently have about a quarter of our playing list represented. That is insane.

AHH Demonland is messing with me and has changed the silhouettes. Hogan has been replaced with Tyson.

It will now be:

Garland, Viney, Trengove, Vince, Jones, Roos, Grimes, Frawley, Howe, Tyson, Watts

No No No and No

As much as i rate Chip and hope he stays on next year, i'm not big on Ransom demands on a club by individual players. And we all know who the last player was to do that.... :blink:

Oh look at that, Frawley and howe were after gimes...

Yeh yeh....that just proves how much weight i carry on here :huh: ... just you wait Henry Higgins just you wait!

When he says his re-signing is "subject to" seeing whether a coach re-signs or not, i believe it is holding the club to ransom. If he says i havent made a decision, waiting till later in the year etc that would be entirely along normal lines a la Buddy

Frawley joked at a presser that if Roos re-signs so will he. Is he not allowed to see whether we are the same basket case we have been his entire career?

If members can hold out on giving a few hundred to see if we are worth it without being damned - should employees be afforded the same patience?

Perhaps I have more rigid interpretation of the crime of ransom.

to be fair on Mitch, he has been nothing short of a superstar when he has played for us, it's just a shame about his injury.

Of course he is RP, but why the need to voice it in public, even jokingly.

While he's part of the playing list he's part of the team and it would surely be better for everyone concerned (particularly for the club) if he kept it in-house. He can still voice his opinion to Roos the FD if he wants and his voice is then heard by the most relevant people 'within' the club.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.
