I have about 20 years’ worth of scarves  from 3 family members clogging up cupboard space. My wife has put her foot down....she wants them out.

I think someone offered a solution once before on DEMONLAND.

Can someone remind me of a good way to dispose of them?
I thought perhaps the club could use them to drape over seats if we play again this year in Melbourne with no crowds. ( eg when we play an MCG final in Sept. with no crowd...as I confidently expect!)

    Was this it ?    it does make a great "throw"  or  blanket  especially for a young demon fan.

    ...she wants the 3 family members out?

    Seriously though, I dropped off my collection to someone who wanted to make a blanket from them a couple of years ago, after advertising here on Demonland.  I'm sure someone else will want to do similarly.

    I once asked that the Club stop sending a scarf with my membership pack but to send me  current year cloth badge instead.

    Then I would be able to sew this onto my scarf. Thought it would look really cool to have years and years of membership on the one item and would eliminate the issue of too many scarves, too much waste.

    Sew them together and make a  trench coat for the winter. A great way to really show your support JJC.

    Doesn't the club request donations of MFC scarves and hats about the time when they have a multi-national drive.

    They give out tickets and offer second hand paraphernalia to mainly international uni students, travellers and guests.

    That round is the one when a cohort of people, together with their country of origin flag, parade around the boundary at the G.

    Have a chat to the club about it.

    Melb ask for donations of scarves for their "Internstional round" Where they hdbd out free tickets and give the people a scarf etc.

    Ring the Club  and sort out .I suggest.

    Me too Kent however this year I opted out. The ones I  wea around 2005 - 8 as they are much bigger than recent ones and I like the colours better than recent years were the red looked maroon for some years. Will be just my luck that the win the flag this year and I won't have a scarf. Still  it would be a easy problem to bear.

    I got a blanket made up last year and it's great. It's a lot heavier and warmer than I thought it would be so it's great in winter. 

    With all the different lengths, widths, styles and colours we've had over the years it's a bit of a hodgepodge which I like

    Given we get 6 new scraps every year and in WA maybe wear them once or twice :(. A blanket is on the cards. 

    The quality of the scarves has really declined over the last few years.

    Yes Darkhorse they have shrunk every year for at least 12 years and they are made of petroleum products I think! Certainly not a natural product Where are all the greenies when you need them?

    What happened to all of last year's scarves?

    I couldn't get to my local collection point and they quickly ran out anyway apparently.

    Does the club have them stored? 

    I'd like to get one, as do some Demon mates.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
