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.

    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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
