Well i must have missed something that says there is a announcement on at 5:30 at yarra park..

Can someone give me a link.

"AN OPEN invitation for a casual kick-to-kick with Melbourne star Jesse Hogan is part of an innovative approach by the Demons to launch their new logo."

I really like that they have involved Daisy Pearce in this and are getting her name more and more out there. She is a great ambassador for the club and also for women's football. It makes me proud to follow the club that has put so much time and effort into growing the game and getting more women involved.

Couldn't agree more Dom.

For the first time in a long time, it feels like we're ahead of the curve, rather than just playing catch-up.

The TV ratings for this year's game, and the number of women who follow footy in general, all point to a growing market with huge untapped potential.

In the not-too-distant future, other clubs will be clamouring to jump on board and get in on the game; by that time, the MFC will have established a significant presence in the whole caper and will be in a great position to capitalise.

The decision to send Daisy, Dom and Gus to Melbourne Girls Grammar this morning was a stroke of genius by the club imho, and shows they've got an eye on the long-term gains that can be made from promoting / supporting the women's game.

Well if someone had actually put that link up at the start ot would have been helpful. First time i have had access to an internet all day and all i saw was a tweet about a kick to kick. So thanks Stuie for actually providing a link for the first time

I am catching up now reading all the new marketing set up by the club. Not everyone sits on a computer 24/7

Settle down, lad.

It was the tone of your post, you made out like no one knew what they were talking about, when in fact...

Pretty sure when the Demonland Banner for 2016 we'll be able to display both the mens and womens team coaches, captains and players.

Deestroy, not any of the actual players, just my 33 year old one.. they were just crusing. viney took a hanger on some kid's back though, that was pretty good

Well I think it was great. at least we got some coverage on all news services. although poor Jesse im starting to feel sorry for him being asked about his contract. As he said I still have 2 years.

But on another note can I just say how tough our captain is. He has a scar on his neck from surgery and cant get any contact for a few months. Obviously he played with a serious nerve injury and toughed his way through the season. Others would have stopped. Some would say he may have been a bit silly because neck injuries are something that shouldn't be messed with, but you know he loves this club and wants to be out there very single week.

I got down there and had a look. Is it wrong if I had to choose between Viney and Daisy kicking from 35m out to win a Melbourne premiership I'd pick Daisy. She strikes it perfectly every time.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
