Probably a very short-lived thread, not being of great interest, and probably eliciting 'they're-only-in-it-for-themselves' reactions, but this was a nice story, about a sponsor that has attracted my loyalty (and also sponsors a nice weekly Club website piece - although it's a tad awkward when we lose and/or don't kick many goals!) It also made me reflect on the validation we get when entities want to align with us. So, anyway, thanks sponsors!

(p.s. Curious that Kate got the gig, rather than Daisy?)

    Nothing wrong with giving a shout out to a good local brand that supports Australian made and keeping jobs here. 

    10 years of support in this day and age of AFL sponsorship is something to be proud of 😀

    Thank you, Haymes!

    The mural looks stunning, would love to see it irl to fully appreciate it.

    As to your question about Kate getting the gig, I’d say it’s because she’s our current captain. Got a feeling she’ll be our captain for quite some time yet. ❤️💙

    I thought all that, too, W, but Kate's and Max's presences then represent the present and near-to-(as I equally expect)-mid future, whereas the '10 things in 10 years' theme was about those 10 years, where Daisy and Max were generational presences and representative of one of those 10 things - three reigning premier teams in 2020.

    But all this is very much a sidebar to the sponsorship/s and the mural as an outcome of one of them. Nice to see it in the background of the AMW vids, too!

    Thanks Timothy R-B Haymes is a great Sponsorship story and great products, I did a lot of painting with two of my daughters over summer and used Haymes exclusively (20% member discount), friendly helpful staff at their Epping Store. I think that if Daisy was still associated with MFC she would have got the gig whereas Kate is in our colours and Captain.😁

    Yes, that is rather relevant atm, eh!

    There's room on the wall for when the blue and gold is swapped back for the red and blue, in time for '20 things from 20 years'. 😄

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
