Like it’s not dangerous enough being directly behind the goals as it is. 😂

 

I expect the bowling pin costumes provide added protection via padding.

I suppose it would be nice and warm inside a bowling pin costume, as long as we don’t wear them when it’s hot. Last year we wore the Gussy helmets for round one and the temperature hovered around 30 degrees. It was the world’s worst case of mass bad hair day when the siren sounded and we ripped them off. Funnily enough, that match was a rare occasion where no one was hit in the head with the ball.  

 

What about team selection on a Thursday night but in the format of the early 90s game show Man-O-Man where the whole squad lines up next to a swimming pool to be considered by the selection committee and those unsuccessful at the selection table get pushed into the pool one by one.

Love the idea of this thread,   Was it called barn storming 40 years ago.  Throw up (pardon the pun) 20 crazy ideas and they can morf after a couple of iterations into something with merit.  Now that might just happen.    Keep going 


I thought this was a mea culpa. 

But if I can’t get an apology then a thread that has them all is something I suppose…

Ok Ghosty Tuesday nights then... you in???

 Some ideas

Kids and big kids, having a kick to kick with the selected emergency players at half time.

Have some big kids kick the new balls around so as to wear them in for the game, pre game.

Ballot some tickets to the pregame official functions, to the GA members, on an opt-in type system.

Invite the board members of suburban and country clubs to a "week with the club". Practical knowledge that will help support these clubs. Some ideas: how to run clubs, financial acumen, creating elite pathways, modern coaching and training skills.

Invite these suburban and country clubs to bring in their promising juniors for an orientation program and "what it takes" to make it as a professional. 

Catch the new immigrants and turn them into Demon supporters. Free tickets and merchandise, instructions on the rules and approaches to the game.

Have a Demon radio program, that will broadcast the game on social media.

Much more official social media presence. 

Keep the official MFC website up to date.

Ask the coaches to write a spiel about their objectives and the implementation strategies. End of year summaries would also be welcome, including the system they were working on.

More information from the inner sanctum.

End of year player kit give aways and/or auctions. 

Get some kids to dress up in little Demon costumes and chase Checkers, Daisy, and Flash around pregame.

See You Next Tuesday 😁

But I get to pick the music that opens our show, k? I don’t know what it will be but what I do know is that it’ll be better than the song that opens the Demonland podcast coz no song is as bad as that one.

Annual low-key game.

For just one game each season, they don't set off fireworks, play junk noise in every pause in play, flick the lights on and off light a neurotic five year old, or have idiotic yelling about 'make some noiiiiiiiise' at any time during the day.

I'd be happy if they just turned the sound down to 130 decibels.

Yes! In particular, folks from India. I’ve met two separate Indian spectators at training who’ve asked me about the Demon Army and both have signed up, one signed up his girlfriend and the other signed up her son. That’s four MFC & DA memberships.

They’ve told me they chose Melbourne upon arriving in Australia because it’s the name of the city they now call home. Besides that, they’re passionate Test Match cricket fans and that passion is easily funnelled into footy during winter.

There’s a market just waiting to be tapped into! 

Some good ideas from Kev. On the issue of getting kids on board… I was in a pub at Halloween last year full of partygoers wearing demon headbands with red flashing horns. Thought these would be brilliant for kids (and big kids, and the DA) at the G, particularly for a night game with the red horns glowing in the crowd. Get a sponsor to source them (with obligatory logo somewhere to justify their cost) and give them away to kids at the gate? Or sell in the Demon shop? Horned caps? Anyway, Hawthorn had their wizard hats last year so why not?

Other giveaways might be considered to boost attendances. Went to an early season baseball game in the US and a glossy A3 team poster was presented to the first 10k through the gates. A few of these had also been autographed by the team making them a sought after collectible (and on eBay the next day).  Again, all paid for by sponsors.

Apologies if the horns idea has previously been mentioned or even trialled by the Club. News takes time to get here.

PS: On my last visit to Melbourne, I wanted to take a British Nigerian (now Australian) friend’s two lads to the G to get them on board with the Demons. Dad, an evangelical Christian, refused, clearly worried I would turn them into devil-worshippers.

Mr Fence 🐍 would be horrified, though maybe a recent camping trip to the Otways may have desensitized him. Last time I walked to cape Otway from the car park I encountered 2 tiger snakes (and a dead one as well) in a few minutes.  

I love the HU - Wolf Totem!
Imagine 50,000 mad Dees fans chanting HU HU HU HU at the G on KB.  
Enough to make Maynard poo his pants!

The ring on Maysie’s finger (above) isn’t a fashion statement. It’s like a Fitbit but worn on the finger, not the wrist. It monitors sleep, energy expended, heart-rate etc.

How’s this for a half-baked idea:

At the Season Launch Salo took his ring off and handed it to me. I said imagine how funny it’d be if I wore it for the night. The Club would be justifiably worried sick about the data received and they’d be like wtf has happened to Christian? And they’d put him on the long-term injury list. 😅

We had a laugh about it but decided yeah nah, not funny at all. 

 

In line with Dee Spencer's original idea, could we give lucky ones a chance to get on the microphone to pump up there crowd? They could let their 'inner demon out' and yell "rahhhhhhhh" and the crowd joins in.

At Beachport S.A and at the Caravan park in the toilets are signs warning of incressed Slithera activity I think this means outside and in YIKES 🐍

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
