2015 Demonland Banner (Round 1)

[ManDee 7,092]

I do like the crest with Jimmy & Sir Robert in it.

Have current players in the rest. Nathan Jones and the best players from the previous round? (That will keep you busy.)

[P-man 13,276]

Acknowledging BB's excellent post on Neeta, I'd be happy to have just Chunk and Tulip either side of big Jim. The two players who have kept us going during the club's darkest days.

Chunk and Tulip.

Chunky Tulip.

I think I just found my new Supercoach name.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Scully, Clark, McClean, Morton and Wines. Just for the lols.

[flamindees 16]

& PJ the fab 4

the re-builders of this once great old Club. this is enough...................................

I agree- I definitely believe that Peter Jackson deserves be a part of the banner.

He is probably the best administrator we've had in decades!!

As for the players,I've gone for Tyson and as a recruit , Lamumba.

Lamumba.

clearly represents everything this club is about

[daisycutter 28,663]

how about a patchwork quilt of all the demonland avatars

No, it's for the players. PJ has done some great work but he isn't risking his neck on the field for our amusement. I forgot to add Lucas Cook, aka "The Cookie Monster" *cringe

That's a fair point, but at the same time he is still a part of the club and is doing a superb job.

As for your banner of shame- Lucas Cook definitely deserves to be there!!!!

[felixdacat 459]

I vote for the Captain and I know currently we have Nathan Jones but would prefer to await the official

announcement

I see your Lucas Cook and raise you a Luke Molan

PS In googling 'luke molan' I came across this:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/from-david-schwarz-to-mitch-clark-with-plenty-inbetween-melbournes-forward-stocks-have-had-a-cursed-run/story-fni5f91a-1226879199657

can you believe the anti-melbourne tone of that article ("when they tried to tank games" as if that is a fact), and the overall sense of 'rubbing it in' and basking in the glory of our misfortune... and the quoted comments by Schwarz himself, raking us over the coals suggesting karma has given us what we deserve! How can a 'news' article even discuss the existence of karma, suggesting some poor kid getting a bad run of injury has some 'cosmic' link to how Bailey and Connolly MAY have 'managed' the end of a particular season, FMD! Uneffingbelievable! I missed this at the time, but I now count 5 or 6 occasions over the last decade or so where Schwarz has publicly sledged the club in egregious fashion. Can you even name ONE other former 'champion' of a club who goes out of his way to sledge his former organisation. Can you imagine Riccuito, for example, being quoted in that fashion in commenting on the Crows? Does Schwarz hate this club or what? F him. /end rant

My favourite line -

"In 2011 indigenous marvel Liam Jurrah would kick 40 goals as a budding superstar who had to be benched when they tried to tank games, so easily did he conjure a goal".

Just wow.

Back on topic. The start of the new banner looks great. I like Jimmy and Robbie where they are. Keep the main section for the current players and possibly Roo's. Good stuff.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Isn't it sad that N.Jones, Jamar and Dunn are basically the only players on our list who have played their careers at the MFC and can be trusted to go out every week and be solid AFL-worthy senior players. We have Cross, Vince and Lumumba also but we had to import them. It shows just how badly we have failed to manage our list and build a side. When you consider the corresponding groups at the top clubs you realise that this is the whole reason we stink

and those 3 were all in the gun sites of us supporters at different times to be removed from this club... & they have continued to hang on, & grow.

& the love childs are still kiddy players.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Hard to argue with any of that.

the Ox heart & soul. whelan, he'd cover your back, Grinter, team player hard as, Sean White would NEVER let you down.

[dee-luded 2,958]

That's a fair point, but at the same time he is still a part of the club and is doing a superb job.

As for your banner of shame- Lucas Cook definitely deserves to be there!!!!

and both the jarman brothers for taking our money, but not coming over to play in our colours.

[dee-luded 2,958]

No, it's for the players. PJ has done some great work but he isn't risking his neck on the field for our amusement. I forgot to add Lucas Cook, aka "The Cookie Monster" *cringe

neither did Jim Cardwell, but he was instrumental in our power years. as was 'Checker' Hughes who didn't play in RednBlue. but he gave first breath to the Demons.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,486]

Flower and Stynes are icons, could they be highlighted even more? Roos and Jones would do me as representing the current team.

PS. Feel free to post my pic as a way of attracting more readers and members to Dland.

[Moonshadow 16,367]

...Roos and Jones would do me...

In your dreams, weirdo!

[daisycutter 28,663]

In your dreams, weirdo!

bbo doesn't have dreams, moonie. he just has nightmares.

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

What ever you choose, please keep it to a few, last one was super crowded.

[dee-luded 2,958]

bbo doesn't have dreams, moonie. he just has nightmares.

I would have thought that should be Knight mares dc??? just don't see him as a queen worshiper.

[McQueen 17,864]

I voted Viney.

He'll Captain this club eventually. Quite possibly after Jonesy's tenure.

I reckon you'd be hard pressed to find any other player with as much drive and passion for the club to succeed.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,517]

I'm going with the following in no specific order:

- N. Jones (enough said)

- D. Tyson (gun)

- J. Viney (heart and soul player)

- H. Lumumba (I know he is new but he is a premiership player)

- L. Dunn (become very consistent)

- C. Dawes (good leader)

Wait and see before adding: Hogan, JKH, Brayshaw, Petracca

[binman 39,000]

Dunn please

[Slartibartfast 15,944]

Dunn please

Why Dunny?

My memory of Dunny is in the fetal postion with Chappy standing over him in the famous game against Geelong after he'd tried to rough Chappy up in the quarter game break.

He also KO'd Ro Bail who was wearing the injury vest at training and nearly ended his career. He's a perennial tough man against small opponents.

He's played 136 games in 10 years.

He was good for the first half of last year but tailed off like the rest of the team in the second half of the season.

Good on you for supporting him but I can't for the life of me work out how he deserves to be recognized ahead of so many others.

It's sad to see Neita looks like missing out. He's in that very select group of favourite players for me along with Robbie and Junior.

At least I love ya Neita.
