Introduced in 2008 as a borrowed tradition.

Fine for the club to stick it on jumpers for sale to make a few bucks.

But lets not wear it.

It's ugly. It's pointless. And it's looking backwards to 2021 rather than the new season ahead.

Sorry AFL, keep it for yourself.

    Has it been used every year since 2008? Can't say I noticed.

    Meh.

    Next season we are going to have to battle all of the pressure of exectation, being 'The Hunted' and complacency to an even greater extent than towards the back half of season 2021. 

    Wearing a little gold AFL symbol or not isn't going to make a shred of difference to any of that.

    Will be interesting to see how our boys handle the challenge, as I think we'll be somewhat breaking for our team since the 60s.

    I'm looking forward to purchasing a jumper with the gold logo. I'm thinking the indigenous top, with our Norm Smith medallist's number on the back

    Should the club make a bulk order of the jumpers - get us through three or four seasons perhaps?

    I had no idea this was a thing until a mate pointed it out to me a few months ago. Happy we can wear it though.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
