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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
