I received on Tues and still yet to open. As mentioned in the Freo postgame thread I requested a number to be added last Wed and I feel like it was sent too quick to have allowed for this change and now reading that @Kick_It_To_Pickett doesn't have their name on there I'm going into meltdown. As bad as MFCSS gets..

    You positive it’s not on there? It can be hard to find Names. Took me a while to find my dads. 

     Feel free to Pm me your name and I’ll take a look. 

     Found @Nascent pretty quickly. 

    My last name starts with B, and while there is plenty of names in alphabetical order, the Bs seem to be dudded around the arms and the sponsors logo. I am guessing mine may be under the Zurich patch. Amazing to see that Don McLardy has his name in amongst the Bs conveniently above the Zurich logo. Coincidence, methinks not. Another example of loyal fans being shafted by the club. They can refund me the additional 200 bucks. I’m livid. Have a family of full memberships, even though I’m MCC and could easily have just bought the 80 buck associate ones.

    It’s not necessarily in alphabetical order. Also my name is on there twice. 

     My brother’s name is in the C’s and he’s mixed in with a bunch of G’s.

    I’ll have a better look when I get home. Wife sent a photo through, similar to one you posted. Haven’t been able to find it. Are there names on the back of the jumper.?

    No names on the back of the jumper.

    As mentioned the names aren't necessarily in alphabetical order. There are some that appear in alphabetical order and then there are a few randoms mixed in and then it becomes totally random.

    My dad, my brother and myself are in random place towards the top and then we're all in a row down the bottom. I've seen a few names twice and I'd hope that the ones accidentally covered by the sponsors and logos are repeated elsewhere.

    Thanks Demonland. I was able to find mine. So to those I may have worried, it seems I made the error in not looking hard enough. I guess I should apologise for slagging the club ahhah

    Phew. For a moment there I thought you were avoiding the auto-censor. But you really did mean bunch of G's rather than the potentially more profane "bunch of C's".

    In the end they supplied you with a jumper and a puzzle.

    Also I purchased two jumpers. One for myself and one for Demonland but only received one jumper today. I hope they haven't electronically mailed the Demonland one.

    I reckon we'd be up around $800k had we won the last 2 games. Was it after the Pies or the Saints game Pert said we'd banked around $100k in the week following those wins

    Yep, Pert was also saying two weeks ago (prior to the Sydney game) we'd get close and at the time, I think he was right. Had we won those last two games as you say mate, we'd be closing in on the $800k mark. 

    A great effort from our supporters nevertheless.

    I received my jumper today but can’t seem to find my name.  Does anyone know if it should be highlighted on the jumper or is it just a where’s Wally approach?

    It got mixed in with the “Blazers” pile.

    My name is not there, I wrote to them about it but no reply. I know they are all working reduces hours and days so I have cut them some slack in 2020. At the end of the day it ain’t that important.

    I had the same issue.  
    I called the DemonShop directly and they said that some people’s names were missed and that they would be receiving another jumper at some stage. 
    It’s up to you of course but a phone call to them will fix your issue.

    Do I interpret that to mean there will be two different jumpers produced? If so, wouldn't that diminish the value of the jumper?

    Mind you, Rick Milne has a small piece each Saturday in The Age where he values sporting memorabilia. It's fair to say according to his advice that most sporting memorabilia produced today doesn't have much value, at least in a monetary sense. I also appreciate that many people buy memorabilia for the same reason they buy memberships - that is to support the club financially.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
