New Mascot Flash

How many mascots can one club have?

Is it just for the indigenous round or do we have 5 now?

Daisy, Checker, Chuck, Cheeky and Flash.

 

Looks good to me - the more the merrier!

It's for the kids, they'll love it. The more the better.

Indigenous mascot - such an obviously good idea but never thought of it before haha

Thisll be neville jettas doing. What a star


Great idea having a mascot named after a relatively current gun player, and the indigenous emphasis just adds another dimension to it. But 5 mascots does seem a bit much. 

 

Great article on flash on the MFC website:

In particular, I find the way he talks about the MFC inspiring and refreshing:

Davey, who won the 2009 best and fairest and was a vice-captain of the club, said he loved his time at Melbourne.

“I can’t thank the club enough – I love it. I spent 10 years there and it really helped develop and shape me out as a person,” he said.

“I’ve got nothing by admiration and a special thanks to the footy club – Danners (Neale Daniher) and [others at] the club like Craig Cameron, who years ago took a punt on a skinny little Indigenous player with a massive afro.

“To keep chipping away – I wouldn’t have thought I’d last 10 years there – but I think that’s reflective of the great football club it was and how they really embraced myself"

...

“The best thing about it was [playing with] Aussie (Austin Wonaeamirri), Liam [Jurrah] and Nev and the friendships that you forge. Even the non-Indigenous guys – some of the best memories I have of them are behind closed doors.

“I love the club and my kids love the club – even last week up in Darwin – to watch it and see all of my family represented in the Melbourne jumpers and their flags, they really love the club as well. It plays a massive part in not only my life, but also my extended family.”

To have an ex-player talk about the club in such glowing and spirited terms, to me somewhat restores my faith that there is still loyalty and passion left in  football.  Would be great for some of the current team to have heard that too.  I think that some of our past players are key to helping rebuild a strong and proud culture back at the MFC, home of the mighty DEMONS.

It also makes me proud as a non indigionous person to hear how accepted, respected and included Flash felt at the MFC amounst his peers and leaders.  Perhaps through Flash, others and his mascot, the MFC can also be part of rebuilding a strong proud and respected indigenous culture.

Great idea.

Reckon the Wiz was robbed for the naming rights (IMO), but in the same breath you cant argue that Flash was the first indigenous winner of the BnF

Glad to see the club doing so well on and off the field atm


Is Aaron Davey the only AFL player in history to have a mascot named after him (albeit only his nickname)?

Loved him. But he left. No way you get a mascot named after you if you left.

All is forgiven if his sons turn out as good, and he pushes them our way.

This is brilliant. It's this stuff that makes me love footy and this club in particular.

Good onya Flash.

 

 

Great to see. With Daisy and Flash now as mascots it's great to be so diverse and inclusive. The club is definitely one of if not the best in the league for helping different communities and including all. Proud to be a Demon!

I remember our 1987 mascot running around with 'Flower Power' on his back late in the season.  Loved Robbie, RIP.

I'm proposing a bald tattoo covered mascot named Chunk.

I'm proposing an angry ginger haired mascot who runs around the boundary hurling f bombs and death threats at overweight, sad looking opposition supporters.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
