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

    • 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.
