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.'

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
