Just throwing a slab of raw meat into the wolverines' pen.

I understand we'll be restoring the banner to its usual format in the new year. I guess Roosy and Chunky will be up there, and I'd like to see the Russian and Jack G as well. Who else should get a spot?

I have an idea:

We leave it how it is until the season stars. Then with every win we add a person to the banner. It can be based on how overall deserving they were or it can be if they are best on ground and a key part of winning that game.

Then as the season goes on hopefully we have lots of faces on the banner.

I'll channel my inner Sweet and Sour Dee here: if Dunn is not put on the DL banner that's it for me with this jumped up joke of a forum/

A joke BTW.

Not the Dunn part - he def should go on the banner.

Each week after the win we decided who goes on it via a poll? Selections by best players on the field not already on the banner.

I agree with the sentiment of Robbie till Round 1, but believe Jonesy deserves his spot up there. He has earned it

Cant see any reason to puts Jones up there.

Lets just wait until he becomes a better rounded player.

The banner will be changing at some point prior to or just after the seasons starts. I haven't given too much thought into who will be on it and it will all depend on whether I can source high quality recent images of players. I will attempt to include Jimmy and Robbie in it somehow. No promises.

I'd keep Robbie, put Jimmy on the other end and have Jones, Tyson,Roos, Viney and Hogan in the middle

Love your work, you should post here more often!

Robbie at one end and Jimmy at the other.

I like both of those.

R Flower looks just fine to me

Sets the standard for all those below his consistent ability...

thats a standard worth something, one that truly means something

the Jumper is everything for those who love it, & not so much themselves.

the Culture follows leaders like tulip. let the others fight to get on the banner, no more babies on there. they should have to earn it thru blood, sweat, & years.

I'd like to see Robbie's face up there for the rest of my Demonland viewing life and as an idea the top 5 from the previous years B&F.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
