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:

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.

This is the Demon we want in the Cheersquad

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

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
