Trying to find a use for years of scarves, the mum in law turned a bunch of them into blankets to keep the kids warm at the footy.  Plz ignore the mess 🙈

    How cool is that! Nice job!

    My mum drove around with my 2005 members scarf on her dashboard for months after the flag, suffice to say it's become rather faded.

    Brilliant. I've saved up a bunch as well to do this, and then saw Jeff Farmer's wizard costume at Freeze MND made from old scarves, and was hooked. No idea how you'd make one, however.

    Ponchos.  Our son mad one.  Keeps him warm, and looks great!  A fantastic way to show the longevity of your support through ‘thick & thin’.

    I use my Neeld-era scarf as a windbreak to prevent warm air escaping to the unused parts of my house in Winter.

    It's pretty much the best use that scarf could hope for - I sure didn't wear it to many games.

    My 2011 Neeld era scarf was a prized possession for me after we won in 2021 as it was proof I wasn't some cheap band wagon jumper.  Think I actually lost it sometime last year and I'm devo. 

    Also annoyed that I got rid of a whole bunch of others from that era as I couldn't justify having a whole draw full and got rid of them when my wife got up me one day about the room being a mess.

    Absolutely treasure my 2021 members scarfs and probably over the premiers ones, which I never bought.  I'm hoping the 2023 one might become treasured in much the same way after September and it's a better more classic design too.

    They do take up a fair bit of wardrobe real estate.

    I never got a premiers scarf either, the members scarf from that year does it for me as well.

    I had a scarf from 92 that I wore for close to 20 years until 2009 when it was lost in a move, likely thrown out erroneously. 

    I've been wearing my 2010 scarf since. IMO it's the best of the "membership" scarves. Simple design, thick, and long.

    That's truly fantastic.

    But you shouldn't call your kids 'The Mess'. 😁

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
