I reckon we have too many players getting spots on the 'Demonland' masthead on false pretense, and not Via delivering real Footy to the Demons cause.

I'd like to suggest that we select the captains firstly, and then fill the other spots with the top vote getters in our recent 'Bluey Truscott Medal'...

 

So by my reckoning... we have 3 captains in the club. Jones, Viney and Daisy.

Currently there are 10 faces on our Masthead. 

So if 3 faces are our captains, we might have 7 top vote getters of the 'Bluey', to add to the masthead ???

 

Any thoughts from the faithful ?

No, we have two captains  - Viney and Jones.

Last time I checked, no woman has been drafted into the AFL.

Thank [censored] we’re tackling the big issues on Demonland.

Your post has nothing to do with my thread. Drafting women is not mentioned.

But I take it we recognise Daisy as a club captain, because she IS, currently on our Demonland masthead.

I would assume that means Demonland respects her position at the club, as captain of our women's team. And as such has her up on our masthead already.

i'm looking at the wrong thing.

It's taken me a while to come to this view but I reckon we should just let Andy do whatever he likes with the banner. He maintains the site for us and as such I think he should be given carte blanch to do whatever he wants with the banner. It's not like he's going to do something stupid and inconsistent with a Demons supporter site.

Go on Andy, do your best.

 

PS: Obviously he doesn't need our permission to do it. I just want the rest of us to respect his efforts and leave him alone to do what he wishes.

Yeah, Macca, things are getting a little bit too speculative, too insignificant. Just want a fill of training and remediation updates, progress reports and 'deeper' prognostications for the coming season. Form guides are more important than mastheads ...

...and quite often, not much thinking goes into so much....

Just wait until we announce a new AFLW captain in the coming weeks. 

Everytime I look it has more faces. Starting to remind me of Sgt Peppers. Did I see Elvis? 

 

The Beatles, holding marching band instruments and wearing colourful uniforms, stand near a grave covered with flowers that spell "Beatles". Standing behind the band are several dozen famous people.

Me too,

 

then I realised I was getting the masthead confused with the Demonland interviews banner...

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Captain and games record holder of Demonland’s footy team that dominated in the 2000’s up there! ??

I'd love to see the top 10 of the previous season's 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy... up on our masthead.    "not in it, not on it, basis."

That sorts it out fairly... and would have seen 'Nev' on it sooner.   Sooner than Hunt's inclusion, for example. Maybe ahead of watts.

Yep, and I'd also like to see Harmes up there, this season.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
