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: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
