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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
