When something is more meaningful than you know, because you just don’t know. And that’s ok, but just get out of the way.

Watching that put the biggest smile on my face. Club absolutely kicking goals off-field recently, and this shows what the addition of an indigenous liaison officer at each club can do.

Narrm the Dees!!!

    Anyone else worried about a jumper clash? Certainly top half. I wonder what the back of Norf's is like?

    OK I've changed my tune.

    Seeing the jumper next to the north one I like it. Doesn't look as busy as I originally thought. Maybe cos the north one is really intricately patterned... but anyway I like it

    This is one of the best things the club has done off the field in my lifetime.

    I know it’s not exactly like-for-like but a rebrand of Demonland to Narrmland for a few weeks would be excellent.

    I thought about it but I'm not sure it's not appropriation or insensitive to indigenous people and their culture without their blessing.

    Happy just to promote and celebrate indigenous culture by promoting and supporting the indigenous community in any way I can.

    Fair call.

    Seems a bit on the nose, but afl.com is asking people to vote on the best Indigenous jumper. Surprised to see we were equal clubhouse leaders. I wouldn't have thought that would be the general opinion as to aesthetics. Is it the rebrand that's winning the votes?

    Yep.  imv, asking people to vote is in poor taste and not in line with the occasion.

    The devil snake on the new merch is off the charts cool. I really hope the club jump on that longer term and make different versions of it as part of our indigenous brand.

    So pumped for my new devil snake scarf to arrive -  which will be in rotation with my regular scarf, and my premiers scarf. What a time to be a Demon supporters neck!

    Sadly, it looks like the scarves are sold out as couldn't see any in the mfc 'shop' on line.

    Ditto. Assuming more will come. It’s a winner.

    Sure is a winner!

    I rang the Shop, they have plenty in stock for OTC sales. 

    More stock will be made for on-line purchase but they weren't too sure when.

    Will try and find out more when I go to the Shop tomorrow.

    Agree. I love the look of it and would be happy to see that as our Sir Doug Nicholls round kit.

    Really like the Bombers design too. 

    Ours is growing on me after I initially didn't think much of it.

    I've always been a fan of the simple designs of traditional jumpers such as our navy blue with the red triangle, Carlton's solid blue with the CFC logo and Richmond's and Essendon's solid black with coloured sash. I've never liked the messier designs of the Eagles or the paddle-pop Lions. However, indigenous art is inherently "busy" with its use of pontillism and animal motifs. These busier designs work brilliantly for indigenous themed jumpers.

    I think you can view it as a celebration of the art you like.
    Something that's often overlooked is the huge boon this is for indigenous artists to promote their work.
    I bought some artwork a few years back after seeing the artist Nth Melbourne Design - loved it.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
