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'. 😁

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
