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.

    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.'

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
