"Demon for Life" tile

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,778]

In 2004, I paid $250 for a "tile" with my name on it to be put on a tile- wall in the "Southern Stand MCG changerooms".

I presume those rooms  are no longer there.

Did any other Demonlanders make this payment? Does anyone know if the "wall of fame" still exists?

I assume this was promoted as a fungible token.

Yes I bought one. Have no idea what happened to it. Think we also got a small plastic copy of the tile.

LDVC…..you must be a lawyer! I looked up “fungible”, and I still can’t understand how it would apply to the tiles. What would the tiles be replaced by?  Or does it just mean that once the money has been paid, there’s no responsibility to honour the commitment?

I think LDVC meant non-fungible token. NFTs are a new hipster way to make money out of block chain Technology whilst providing no value whatsoever. You can own a guaranteed unique token for, theoretically anything. What is it? Just a digital certificate of ownership, not of an actual thing, but of the idea of the thing… cool, eh?

I get it...

I've been hoodwinked!

Or was it just a play on words for the fungus that grows in a footy change room?

@Jumping Jack Clennett: Stay with it, Jack; I'm sure the thread will eventually turn to an actual answer! (Such a rich community we are on here 😄)

I brought one as well and have my replica tile at home. Got to have my photo taken with Neale Daniher at the event.

I remember buying a tile years ago but I didnt think it was promoted by The Ox.  It was a rectangle with rounded edges in red and blue with your surname on it.  Same idea, demon for ever.

I suspect you would have bought one, too, Whispering Jack! ( though you were already famous!)

[Call Me What You Will 751]

Yes, We still have the replica and I remember fondly the night we were invited for the launch where Reverend Neale spoke to us all. I too have wondered what became of these tiles. It was launched in the Southern Stand when the north side of the G was being renovated. One can only assume that no one had really thought through the fact the we would, one day move our rooms back to the northern side of the ground.

That is the most early 2000s thing I've seen in some time.

Another $100 just to put your favourite player’s number on the tile?

This DL thread had a night on the tiles.

[george_on_the_outer 7,579]

I had a tile or 2, and on the “unveiling” night, they were on portable stands. If I remember they were to be made permanent when we had our own change rooms.

Never happened as far as I know.

Before this thread disappears into obscurity…….does any Demonlander know what happened to the “Wall of Fame”?

Why not email the membership team?

If they don't know they can probably find out.
