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.

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?

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

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. 😁

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were on hand at Monday morning's preseason training at Gosch's Paddock to bring you their brief observations of the session. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
