    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
