Love everything the club has done with all this.

Not a complaint, as I understand how delayed logistics are at the moment, but would have been great if they could have made the Narrm merch available a little earlier. I ordered some within minutes of it being made available and doesn't look like it will arrive in time to be worn for at least our first game and potentially the second.

Would have been amazing to see Dees fans decked out in Narrm gear.

    Nice.  A Narrm flag would have been good as well

    I saw this morning they’ve added Narrm caps as well (which I quickly added to my cart).

    I’m really hoping in the next AFLW season they make the Pride round jumpers available for purchase. I’d like nothing more to show up to the footy in my pride jumper with my Narrm scarf and hat on. My social justice outfit would really annoy some people - which would just make the footy so much more enjoyable for me.

    I love how Naarm is absolutely ubiquitous at the moment. Presenters on Fox Footy using 'Naarm Demons' instead of phrasing 'Melbourne Demons', the AFL having Naarm on its ladder, and Naarm Demons logo as a portal to our website.

    Does this show the cache of Melbourne/Naarm now as a force within the AFL community that all media parties have got on board?

    Personally, I wouldn't be adverse for the name to be maintained...

    Change can be hard... sometimes it can be absolutely joyous and meaningful at the same time.

    Can't make the game this week, will  they have these for sale at the Freo game?

    I'm taking a new Zealander to her first afl game against the Dockers. I ordered a narrm beanie for her on the 18th and it looks like it still hasn't been sent so I can't see it arriving on time. I might drop in to the store before the game to see if they have anything on hand.

    When I ordered the Anzac top it was sent the next day and arrived shortly after. Very dissapointed about the beanie.

    My friend has Maori heritage so loved the idea of a narrm beanie, plus she works at a cafe in footscray and some of her peers have already tried (and failed) to get her to get behind the dogs - at least partly due to our relationship. I was really looking forward to her wearing the beanie to work. I'm sure it will arrive eventually, but long after the back-to-back Doug Nichols rounds.

    Update: I spoke to someone at the shop and they said the beanies arrived at the warehouse today and will be sent off today and tomorrow so there is still a slim chance it will arrive by Friday 🤞🏻

    TMac’s perspective is brilliant. He likes seeing his friends smile.

    Bloody oath, at the end of the day isn't that what it's all about (edit - not just talking footy/indigenous round but life in general).

    Unfortunately, despite getting an email yesterday from Australia Post saying I could expect my beanie in the mail today, it never arrived. I'll stop by the store on my way to the ground to see if they have any scarves left but I am not hopeful. Dissapointed

    My Narrm beanie finally arrived, one business day too late, but it looks fantastic. Not only does it have our Narrm logo patch on the front but it has a snake devil patch on the back. I wish I had ordered two! Hopefully they'll be back next year

    Love that we set the tone this year, I'd expect other clubs to follow suite next year.

    Hearing that at least 6 other clubs will be doing this next year.

    The club needs to talk to the MCC about gameday. It would be great if the music being played before the game and during the breaks was being performed by indigenous artists. (It's a different issue, but music after goals being scored should be abolished, though.)

    I was going to order one when they were announced but thought they have some at the Freo Game.
    They did not.

    Hopefully they release another batch, otherwise i will wait until next year.

    I think they greatly underestimated how popular the narrm range would be and under ordered particularly the scarves and beanies

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
