This is a great little promotion 

Max reads it really well. 
We now have old and new Traditions and we can be proud of them both. 
 

2021 is just the beginning

    When I saw it pop up in my emails I assumed it was a promotion for a generic bottle of gin or the like with a Melbourne sticker slapped on it.

    Is this just a membership promotion?

    Partly but a Club promotion above all

    These types of promos are usually a little cringey and this one is no exception.

    I thought it was fine. We obviously couldn't get the rights to a 39 second loop of Bang Bang Bang, which is really all you needed to promote the dees in 2022.

    Obviously for home consumption. A membership promo. It’s well done and emotional for those with red and blue blood. However, I also find it a bit cringy. I would prefer to focus on what happens on the field. Let the way the side plays and results do the talking. That’s the way to gain respect and become a formidable club.

    Decent promo. But what I don't get is this statement: 'The Demons spirit was forged in fire...''

    Perhaps someone in the club really loves the History Channel's programme Forged in Fire, where a bunch of rednecks make swords/knives?

    Isn't moonshine forged with fire?

    I have to somewhat agree, however I think it’s a little less cringe because we won the GF last season. 

    Nothing will ever be as cringe as Carlton’s “Can you smell what we’re cooking” campaign.   A big ole’ [censored] that’s apparently still bubbling away.

    Rather be burned alive than endure 57 years of pain, so i'd say it's apt.

    Not as cringe but not far behind was their “They Know We’re Coming” campaign of about 12 years ago. Maybe they’re still coming, they’re just taking their sweet time. 😁

    Fox Footy are advertising what looks like an MFC 2021 doco on 8th March.

    Little trailer for it kicking around at the moment.

    They must be using an early version sat nav which is taking them the long way.

    Feels closer to a scene from Demon Attack * than some of the club’s more recent work.

     

    *This is by no means an insult to Demon Attack. Like Dumb & Dumber it was genius,  but you just can’t recreate classics.

    …not even. Melways (1982 edition) including the obligatory missing pages.

    Ugh.

    Comes across very much like something dreamt up by a corporate type with no feeling for the club culture and it’s supporter base at all. Underwhelming to say the least.

    Seems like a wasted opportunity to use 'We are Melbourne, through & through.'

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
