This is actually correct. From 2008, in an official sense, we will not be the Melbourne Demons. We will be MELBOURNEfc.

Thats not to say we are not the Demons. Its just our branding will not have Demons attached.

Junior merchandising will still use 'Ronald Deeman' etc - and we are still the 'Dees', but the Demon head logo is gone.

That is hugely disappointing.

Im sure the Bombers wouldnt give up their emblem so easily.

I cant believe it isnt a marketing ploy to dis-associate MFC from the Demons.

There will be a huge backlash I reckon if this soft idea is going ahead.

Very worried about this.

Maybe the Admen running the club would like to call us the Yarras.

For those not old enough... When I was a kid in the sixties to be called a Yarra meant you were a soft dikhead.

-what a bold move by the club!! for those who dont realise, we NEED something to be done to strengthen our memberships and crowds to matches. i dont know about you, but i hate going to see bloody 16,000 fans at our matches and having empty seats all around me, it feels like sh**!

-if this move improved merchandise and got an extra 100 ppl to each game and more members, it would be a start. we are still the dees, but we are MELBOURNEfc, the football club of melbourne, the oldest and proudest football club. let's cherish our history and move on, we are still the "demons" but just not in an official sense. im sure their will still be demons on flags and the mascot will still be a demon etc etc

-IT also finally means we might change our alternative strip, hopefully to the 80's one or with the MFC logo in the middle.

-Well done board!!

What rubbish.

The club has finally come to the realisation that Melbourne (the name) is the best thing we have got going. We will not attract any new members with some marketing ploy surrounding "Demons." We will always be the demons, but we need to establish ourselves as Melbourne.

And, as I said before, there will always be a Melbourne in the AFL (Melbourne-Collingwood Magpies anyone?). Who gives a sh!t if the merchandise doesn't show a demon, or hellfire etc.

Honestly, some people need to think clearly before they post.

They can rebrand us MELBOURNEfc for the sake of memberships and crowds, but we will ALWAYS be the Demons.

Simple as that.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
