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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
