Would absolutely support a change of logo.

I like that MFC logo which appears on the New Balance training guernseys and gear generally. The one that looks a bit like Carlton's.

No RB theirs looks a bit like ours

Seriously I have always liked the Carlton Jumper/ logo.

Simple and gets the message over and with a couple of exceptions they do not messed with it.

They stay on message.

I can't say I like the Carlton jumper logo, OD. It is too busy for mine (not to mention various other detrimental factors :blink: ) But then I like the current emblem, and didn't mind the blazers, so ... :blink::wacko:

FFS the jumper logo and club logo don't need to be the same.

MFC Monologue for jumpers

Current logo for letterheads and business docs etc

Sorry 'Pennant', they really do need to be the same.

You need a consistent message with your marketing as with everything else.

Well that says it all R and B

Convicted out of your own mouth, you liked the blazers!

I shall never be able to think the same about your comments ever again.

Shame Shame Shame

Just watched PJ's AGM Speech in full

I have no problems with what he said regarding September in 2016.

It is a goal to aim for. To expect after hard work from all at the club.

The club is no longer in survival mode. It is time to grow.

As he states. We get no favours for being Melbourne. It is up to the club to honour the cities name.

We should always expect to up there. But it will not be gifted.

No issues with what he has said though I think that it felt a little contradictory when he stressed that the club would connect with the those living in the city of Melbourne, those new to Melbourne and youth (a concept I am fully supportive of) but would also look after out heartland and bring them back into the fold. I guess it doesn't have to be either/or but I think we do need a tighter focus on what we are trying to achieve on that front. The rest of the stuff I am 100% on board with. Sadly, under Jimma/McLardy/Schwab regime, our goals were unrealistic and smacked of quick fix. We kept putting the cart before the horse. We talked of premierships, golden eras and being a future powerhouse. The thing was that with all this dreaming, we never paid attention to what was actually going on at the time and/or had no earthly idea of how far our plans were from our reality.

Here is an update on Club plans. Finals and other goals repeated. From Patrick Smith http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/demons-plot-a-path-to-finals-footy-by-2016/story-e6frg6n6-1227260519589

My favourite part: "Jackson also confirmed he would head the club’s administration until at least the end of 2016 — tying in with senior coach Paul Roos’ tenure — and a year longer than he is contracted for."

This certainly puts to bed the faux story a month ago about Bartlett going after Brian Cook etc etc. PJ gives a bit more stability and confidence to the club for a few more years!

Couldn't be happier!! ;)

This may be a silly question, but how do I read the article without subscribing or buying the fish and chip paper?

CB, I think that relates to the Bentleigh club deal. When we took that over, we also took on that debt. The assets gained were much greater than the debt and we believe with income gained we will pay it off in a relatively short term and be left with the assets.

At least that is what I remember. Someone else may be able to elaborate.

I thought that might have been the case, thanks.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
