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.)

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.

& 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.

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!!!!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
