how do we pronounce narrm given the double r

is it NARM  (single syllable)

or NAR-R(u)M  (2 syllables)

or something else

well, listening to the official launch video it would seem the pronunciation is NARM as a single syllable with a longish R

    Great initiative by the club. Leading the way again.

    Feels like Nev Jetta should be involved. Hope he returns to the club someday

    Yet another reason to be proud of and love this club.

     

    as for the jumper, I actually hope that this year we wear last year’s indigenous jumper is worn in the Alice Springs game, as we were denied it last year and it was designed by a local artist and friend, I think it would be a great gesture to wear this brilliant jumper on the oval across the road from her daughter’s school.

    Great initiative. I know the reaction of some but hope they keep it to themselves.

    Not my favourite of the alternative jumpers but watching that video explains why - it’s telling a pretty involved story of the club, the land, the G, and the links between all three. It’s going to be busy.

    I like this. I reckon our club has taken real steps in progressing along a path of reconciliation.

    Not sure about the jumper though. Looks a bit too much like the Bulldogs’ Captain America jumper from a few years back. 🫤

    The concept and naming is a good idea but much going on there on the jumper. I prefer something more akin to the traditional elegant grace and simplicity of indigenous art. Reminds me of the old dreaded Schwabovian shield logo from the dark days. And why does the oversized bird of prey remind me too much of Meth Coke and the Dorks?

    I'm all in on the Narrm initiative. The long sleeved guernsey though reminds me of those 'ugly jumpers' people wear around Christmas time.

    Very happy about this. Solid move by the club. My Roos-supporting mate was very quick to tell me how impressed he was as well, and it’s always a good feeling to back a club who impress other supporters, on and off the field. 
     
    He was also asking if this meant the Roos were allowed to go with “North Narrm”.

    I agree with all that think the Narrm Dees footy club rebranding is a great idea. Gees I couldn't be prouder of our club.

    Hopefully the Kangaroos take on North Narrm for the round, also has a nice ring to it. 

    Hey, we don’t want to get involved in aNarrms race!

    Brilliant!!! I’m sure we have cheer squad members on here (even if they’re “noms” only @WalkingCivilWar ) I think it’s a great initiative to get behind in the banner and in the crowd.

    Narrm Army or Narrmy Army. We are Narrm.

    As of this morning it’s all official, Cards!
    Not sure how the OGs would feel about someone who’s been a member for 5 minutes putting forth such a big proposal. Hashtag sit down noob.

    I actually love this.

    Me too.

    I'd hope we could get it ticked off (that Naarmy doesn't change the meaning some way), but if all clear it would make me proud to roll this into our regular cheer squad chants.

    Relieved to have only seen a couple of somewhat negative posts on social media from our fanbase. Previously you'd see some "WIN A FLAG then do A/B/C"  type behavior , some real suspect individuals on the internet. 

    Won't be buying the jumper (still need to get last year's signed and framed) but hoping for some further Narrm FC products. 

    TBF to the club, we did win a flag. Does that mean we can do whatever we want now?

    I personally can’t see this happening. It would likely be dismissed on account of being seen as making light of a profoundly important issue. There’s a time and a place for sh*ts n giggles, and this isn’t one of them, imvho.

    Maybe put some more on sale too. I missed out last year and thought it was the best ever.

    In fact, the 2021 one was such a popular design I wish the club would consider a year-round indigenous range using that design - not just jumpers, other stuff too, maybe even with the "Narrm" branding on it (with the artist's agreement, of course). I bet they'd sell like hotcakes. And then a new jumper design each year.

    Should definitely produce more, will sell well at the game in Mparntwe

    Love this initiative and love that Matthew Whelan was so involved.  Anyone who doesn’t like the jumper design has to do tackle work with Wheels 😂

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
