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 😂

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
