    good idea

    how about keep it, until late in the season when some of our players are starting to really make things happen?

    whichever season that might be...

    i mean, when there's few of our guys who have arrived, in the sense of not just being our best, but getting the job done, knocking over other teams' best, and being a story really worth telling. Why run mediocrity up the mast? Robbie inspires us...

    How about when we start to put players on the banner they have to earn it by performance. Not because they were draft pick 1! Not because they are going to leave! Not because they share the captaincy!Make it worthy and desirable by highlighting an indiviguals performance and contribution to the team

    the banner should consist of Norm Smith, Ron Barassi, Robbie Flower, Garry Lyon, Jim Stynes, David Neitz and Nathan Jones

    Agree and probably leave it for the entire 2015 season.

    I agree, this banner should only have the greats of our club as only one of the current playing list deserves to be up there.

    Ron Barassi can go on the Carlton banner

    A worthy gesture, Rob would be humbled by this, I agree till new year. As he would say

    Schwarz before Lyon or Neitz, please - and Jones simply isn't in that league... He'd look silly up there beside Norm Smith, Barassi, Flower and perhaps Schwarta.

    I reckon new years is a good idea.

    New year is all about moving forward right?

    2015 is a season afresh.

    Let Robbie's legacy stand as sentry til the new year when others can hopefully take up that mantle.

    Leave it up there until our current day players get this club off the bottom half of the AFL table

    Strange at times the things we argue about here...and fortifying the things we can agree on :)

  • Quote

    Agree with the OP sentiment

    Also agree with others that a spot on the banner should be well earned, it's not about living in the past IMO it's about honouring the great champions of the club maybe gradually through time from Checker to Jones

    Checker, Bluey, Smith, Barassi, Flower, Lyon, Stynes, Neitz & Jones

    I would like to see players added to the Banner when they deserve it....Who is worthy out of current day players to be up there with R. Flower?

    Nobody at this stage....That is the challenge

  • Quote

    Gee I love this annual debate about who should be on the banner. The relative value of players is very much clouded by who people have seen in their lifetimes.

    Why not go left field and put up 12 AFL Premiership Cups and an empty pedestal to be filled by the 13th?

    (Actually, I don't really care. I enjoy what Demonland (ie, Andy) provides for us and am quite happy to leave it in his hands.)

    agree this is why I wanted our legends on the banner... only put the current players up there IF/When they deserve it... It should be a roll of honor, not try hards or potentials.

    Only the Jones boy has shown he has what it takes to be a real Demon. none of the others of our current crop come near him, & are nowhere Near Mr Tulip.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
