We don’t ever issue a rebuke to our players on the banner, regardless of to whom the quote’s attributed. It would be great if you could make your point in another thread. There’s plenty to choose from. Please let this thread remain free of this sort of “advice” to the team. Thanks.

“Get it done”

Hardly a rebuke at all @WalkingCivilWar. No criticism or disapproval but encouragement. If I wanted to denigrate I would’ve included the first part of Checker’s speech.
 

It’s telling the boys to keep their chins up and fight on.

We clearly don’t agree on how your suggestion would be received by our players, but rather than you bringing up [censored] that happened to you 13 years ago, or suggesting even more unsuitable  banner content, you heard my request and have replied in a mature, non-abrasive way and for that I’m grateful.

There’s myriad ways to let the players know how some fans feel after a loss. The banner isn’t one of them. The Club simply wouldn’t allow it, and nor should they.

Serious question.

I've never sat near demon army section but do you legitimately need a membership to sit around that vicinity??

On most home days, no you don't.  The first couple of rows are taken up by people with key roles in the DA, but on most home games, unless the club or AFL issue reserved seating like King's Birthday, the bay is pretty welcoming.  Plus M4 has been set aside for Melbourne supporters to sit alongside the DA if they wish to, and it gets treated like an extension to the DA.  Plenty has changed in the DA since 2010, since that time it's had a change of leaders, and it prides itself on being inclusive. We have over 1000 members this year, making it one of the largest cheer squads.

If I may, Kat. I just wanna add a really important point… while fans are always welcome in our bay (Dees fans only, of course) we encourage as many people as possible to take out DA memberships since fundraising is our main source of income.

As for seating, the first 8-10 rows are DA reserved seats, with the first four rows being ticketed of sorts, with an actual seating plan, albeit loose due to absent members on any given day. Further up the back of the bay Dees fans either with or without DA membership are certainly welcome.

Anyways I’m on my to Gosch’s now to assist with the Reconciliation Week BBQ. No fundraising with this one, just the awesome feeling that comes with doing stuff for our Club. 😊

How much is a DA membership? Out of curiosity.

A princely sum of $46.

Not bad at all, something to consider next time one thinks about making a club donation or buying coterie raffle tickets.

It’s not a huge amount of money. Donations are always welcome, of course. The sales of DA merch and raffle tickets are what brings the $$$ in.

please post a link to buy the merch WCW. I need to freshen up my Dees wardrobe. Some DA gear could be just the ticket.

And here you've highlighted the context in which Hughes made that comment - he screamed it at them after a lengthy spray, at a period of time where coaching was a completely different kettle of fish.  You cannot disguise it with words alone as "being encouraging".  It wasn't Hughes' intention at the time.

Thanks in advance, BDA!

At the moment the Big Freeze beanies are available, for the same price as in the shops. We don’t make any money from selling them, we sell them to support Neale and FightMND.

Highly recommend getting a DA membership!  Everyone is so lovely, and if you're going to interstate games (or live interstate like me), it makes a difference to have a passionate crew to sit with.

WE’RE BULLISH ON THE DEES

GIVING THEM THE BLUES

How long is the creative process for coming up with the tagline? Does it take a bit of time brainstorming with a group of people or is it like when I'm frantically trying to come up with a name for a new chair at the last minute?

Also is it a week by week thing or do the lines get decided in advance?

It varies. Sometimes the Club decides. Sometimes our DA leaders decide (they welcome suggestions, too). Sometimes it’s a combination. The partners have a say in what goes with their logo. Everything must be approved by the  Club.

Oh and just between you and me, Layz: all banners from all clubs must meet the AFL standard (no singling out an oppo player, no swearing, for example) but our banners don’t ever need checking coz Melbourne. ❤️💙

Don’t tell anyone 🤫😝🙃

WCW, can you advise why the banner is never turned both ways so people in the Southern stand can see the message.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
