Firstly, this is merely a suggestion and by no means do I wish to annoy the Demon Army who do an amazing job and who volunteer huge amounts of time and effort to support the Melbourne Demons. I have a lot of admiration and respect for them. Especially as it would be a lot of hard work preparing banners and all the other things they do to support the club.

As for my suggestion, I am sure a fair few of us do, being fans of Australian Rules Football in general, often watch other AFL games on TV besides our beloved Melbourne Demons. However, has anyone else noticed that quite a few of the other AFL cheersquads have large flags with the oldschool 1980s logos on them?

I have definitely seen the Western Bulldogs, Essendon and Collingwood cheersquads with flags using their 1980s logos. I think they look brilliant!

I am a big fan of the Melbourne Demons 1980s logo, as shown here:

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR8MbTHNZMe8l6yC-h7aSK

My question is, where did the other AFL cheersquads get their 1980s logo flags made and would it be worthwhile seeing if people are interested possibly getting them made for the Melbourne Demons cheersquad perhaps? People could possibly chip in a little bit of cash to help pay for one or two of them to be made maybe?

However, that's only if the Demon Army are interested in this suggestion though? They may already have plenty of flags for the time being as I am not part of the cheersquad and don't know if they want more flags or have enough people to wave them?

Anyway, I am just putting the idea out there as I would hope that with our recent Premiership success more people would like to be part of the Melbourne Demons cheersquad and have flags to wave? Especially younger supporters? Plus I think it would be great to see the Melbourne Demons 1980s logo being waved on large flags like other AFL cheersquads are doing.

Didn't think my suggestion of 1980s logo flags was that horrible?! 🤔

Either way, I would love to see the Demon Army grow in numbers and have more flags being waved at games.

I agree would look great and I've also noticed the 80s emblem giant flags in oppo cheer squads. It got me wondering how they all decided to include these this year? Obviously some discussion amongst the groups or the AFL providing them to the club cheer squads??

 

It would be great to bring the Demon back - I like our current logo but my kids think its boring - they want something with a Demon on it. Would be great to have the monogram as the "official" logo but a Demon logo for other branding/merchandise

That's a good point.

Did discussion amongst rival AFL Club cheersquads actually happen or did the AFL fund it? I imagine it was just done independently by each AFL Club cheersquad? I can't imagine the Essendon, Western Bulldogs and Collingwood cheersquads coordinating together to be honest. It wouldn't be very civil! 😂

Nevertheless, I am definitely curious as to where the 1980s logos flags were made? Who was the printer/flag-maker? If we can find out who produced the flags then we can look to obtain quotes and find out how much it would cost to get them made. 🤔

i’d prefer this one to the ‘Chinese demon’ used before 1987. IMO this logo represents much more success than the other one. I am not sure why we use that retro demons logo, as it uses the light blue colour palette.

I used to love the early 1990s Demon mascot when I was a kid at primary school. 🥰

I remember having it on a jumper that my Parent's bought for me way back then and wearing it all the time. Those were the days! 😁

That logo would look brilliant on a flag too I'm sure! 😎👍

I've got a beanie with that emblem and I love it!

I've got that guy tattooed now, except he is holding the premiership cup instead of a ball!

It grew by one just yesterday. 😁
And no, there’s no funding from the AFL.

I am definitely still curious as to where the Collingwood, Essendon and Western Bulldogs cheersquads got their 1980s logos flags made.

Frustratingly, I don't have a clue how to find out? I guess I could email the cheersquads and ask? I am assuming it must be a flag making company in Melbourne somewhere?

 

I like any heritage logo. I think it’s an acknowledgment of our history in a supporter focused way.

I love seeing people at the ground in old gear. My nephew and I always laugh about the sponsors logos. Still a few Drake’s floating about, but we’ve always got the most respect for folks in the Kaspersky gear. Dark, dark days to be shelling out $150 for a jacket.

I'd rather leave anything to do with the 80s up to 87 back where it belongs. Even this alternative royal blue jumper gives me night terrors occasionally. 

One of my first memories of football was seeing the 80's retro demon logo flashing up on the scoreboard after we kicked a goal with an animation of fireworks in the background. It really does have a special place in my heart and would prefer to have it as the 80's flag logo in the cheer squad. 

 


I've still got the old Red and Blue Coca Cola Flag hanging outside my bedroom door. I can't remember where or how I got it. The Cheersquad had them many moons ago.

All the official ones on here….. and my fave ‘demon’ behind Jack’s calf. What about bringing the fuschias back? (far right).

I quite like the look of these old logos. I’d be happy to see them flying on the flags again

Hi there! 

Yeah so recently as some may have noticed we have a lot of new flags, I got them made by some lady in my town that has a sewing machine.

 

As for the demons logo flags, they're made by flagworld I believe.

They're 3x2.5 meters large and cost 300 odd to print, bit out of budget for me, but I could maybe bring it up with the DA.
Some of the recent ones we got made cost like 50 max due to fabric discounts ect.

 

 

Hope this gave some insight :)

I never really understood why more wasn’t done with this logo. I thought it was really good. Maybe a little too kiddo for some

I reckon he looks like a love child of Garry Lyon and Guy Rigoni

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
