How about a bag for game day?

I was thinking a flap with a zip up the top to hold your footy record. A small holder to slot your flag into. Inside a separate compartment for food/one for clothes, scarfs, etc. A holder on the side for drink bottles, cans, etc.

I was looking for something similar at the demon shops. All they have is those almost completely black bags that are either too expensive or too cheap. It looks like they just grabbed some random bag and stuck our logo on it. Doesn’t have the demons feel.

Was lucky to get one years ago. I agree. Off-topic, but I hate the short-sleeved over regular jumper look. It’s just not me

Demons themed beer holder that clips onto the back of the seat in front of you, or if you're like me and prefer standing on the outer; can click onto the wire fence. Good for crowd noise, means we can clap with two hands...

Thats exactly what they did. 

Thats why it looks [censored].

Said it before, the AFL, clubs efforts at producing quality, desirable merch is laughable.

With the exception of meat cleavers, which are readily available.

Same with the face mask. I bought one at the G on Sunday. For starters, it’s black, not blue. And like you said of the backpacks, it’s like they’ve just slapped our logo on thereby quadrupling the price. And, it’s way too big, one size fits all, my arze. 
End of whinge. ?

As someone who works in product development, you need to understand that the “slap a logo on it”, is the only way the AFL can produce anything within a reasonable price point. There is not enough of a market for individualized items for each club. They make a generic item and just slap a logo on it to make it fit into a price point. 
Production minimums would suggest that for things like bags, which are quite pricey to make (number of pattern pieces, hardware etc), they would use a generic bag a supplier is already making and have them add different logos to it. 
 

I know it’s not ideal and bad design is still bad design, but the AFL is not the NBA. There is no market for it and so the merchandising is always going to be expensive and rather poorly designed. 
 

I actually think that Cotton On does a really nice AFL range. They have the buying power to keep their price points low and their designs more on trend.

Nice idea Cassie. I'd include a disposable poncho as I haven't dodged the rain all year (as yet).

Point taken. I confess to knowing very little, if not nothing, about marketing. What I DO know is that $15 is exactly $15 too much for an item, be it of shoddy quality or not, which is simply unusable. In this case a face mask which will only be useable if I cut the ear loops, shorten, then sew them back up (like a caveman). Oh, and if I don’t mind the mask tickling my collarbone and grazing my eyelashes at the same time. ? Regardless, I was just venting, all good.❤️?

Yes I understand but I can’t justify buying the same bag I could get elsewhere MUCH cheaper, then simply buy a patch and sew it on myself for free. I do want to support the club, but I don’t want a black bag. I’d be willing to pay more for something that looked like demons merchandise.

My younger brother got the demons showbag in the mid-90’s. Was a blue sportsbag with the “cheeky” demon on the side. Much cheaper (even allowing for inflation) and 100 times better than this rubbish.

On a Demon FB page someone had a picture of a pin set with 6-7 pins with our different logos from over the years, has anyone else seen this and or know where to get it?

Thanks

Was that the cuff link set? Nice but useless for female members.

And an insulated side pocket for the cheese (unless you want your Brie/Camembert nice and runny).

They may have been, I just assumed they were pins. I’ll have a look and see if I can find it.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
