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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
