Hey Guys,

 I've got some badges from the GF with Family names on them. The names are "Demunk", "EnBom", "Emmitt" and "Estes". If anyone knows these families and can find out if they would like these Badges sent to them I am happy to send them to them. I'm not looking for any money, it would of course be free of charge. I just think it would be a nice thing to do and something I would appreciate if I were in their shoes. 

Anyway let us know. And well done on the win guys. Most of Perth were going for you guys. 

Cheers

 West Coast Tragic

    Hi Demonlanders,

    Remember the badges with members names that MFC gave out to WA fans during the finals?
     

    I’m desperately trying to track down the badge with my last name as a Christmas gift for my father. 
     

    Does anyone have any contacts in WA? I’m trying eBay too but thought I’d reach out to the hardcores first ðŸ˜†

    I was hoping the footy club would send at least one out for each membership to make up for us missing the Grand Final and games. I know COVID has hit the club hard and this is just an extra cost but the merchandise windfall surely would make this small token of appreciation to members a possibility.

    This is not intended as a knock on the club just a thought.

    Good thought!

    One of these would be a terrific souvenir!

    Surely more valuable than the Koh-I-Noor diamond.

    I was planning to donate the badges I got to the Western Australian Museum, where I work, as they are part of a fascinating sub-story of this historical sporting event here in WA. However, if I have anyone's badge here on Demonland who wants it, I'll certainly be happy to repatriate them back to Victoria. Badges I've got are: Corkill, Dent, Bayly & Ricketts.

    Sounds more like they belong to an English county cricket team!

    This is such a kind gesture. 🙂

    I've merged this thread with an earlier one started by a WCE fan who was at the GF and is looking for the Dees corresponding to his / her badges.

    See the opening post above yours.

    @Gary Pert, when we all watch the replay on the big screen at the MCG, maybe we could have badges handed out with members names on them. Like when we pick up membership scalves at the beginning of normal seasons  It's a lot more logistically difficult but can be done.

    Decided against posting a tasteless comment although there’s a tonne of them that spring to mind 😉

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
