did anyone else notice in the little demon booklet we got on page 92 it has all the games round by round. Up the top it says 2007 and the game on sunday starts at 2.10. Seriously we can't even get a magazine right.

Are you speaking of the Almanac? Such a poor effort. Little "blues" everywhere and I thought an almanac was like a diary with phases of the moon and the like in it, aimed at people on the land. I also didn't like the pre-historical quotes in the player profiles.

Yep...I did notice that. But what annoyed me more was the way it was addressed. I am the only Melbourne member in the house and mine book/stickers were addressed To The '''' Household....now that is slack !!!! along with 2 obvious mistakes. So I put it down in disgust !!!! :angry: :angry:

I didn't noticed it first hand, but now that I look it yet, yeah, there are a few mistakes.

condemned - I got mine today, along with a whole bunch of nice stickers. I'm starting to like the "Melbournefc" and new logo more and more. It's so much more "Melbourne" then just a demon head.

I also got mine today, along with my tie. And I am going to say that I was impressed. The stickers were good and the almanac is fairly good too (apart from small editing errors).

But the tie is great, working in an office environment, I have to wear one every day, and this is not one of those tacky untasteful ones. A good effort by the club IMO

Don't care about the almanac much, but the stickers are awesome!

Every year I complain about the crap quality and general ugliness of the stickers, but this year they are definitely worth the wait. 2 of the 4 stickers are now proudly displayed on my car :D

H.B.K, as we don't pick up our gifts until Round 1 (you are obviously a country/ interstate member), can you tell me whether the club logo on the tie is embroidered or printed?

Jaded, I received my tie yesterday (Interstate member). The club logo is PRINTED onto the tie. Enjoy your season. I always find time to read your thoughtful and SENSIBLE comments.

I'd hate to see your reaction over something major.

Gee, we are really plumbing the depths of carping when we take a small printing error as another opportunity for a potshot at this great club.

mine's edges were a little too sharp and i dropped it because it was a little bit heavy and then it nearly hit my foot. lucky it missed hey

An almanac is an "annual reference book composed of various lists, tables, and often brief articles relating to a particular field" ... in this case Melbournefc. Perfectly apt description of the content, and I like the concept. What would you prefer ... something plain like "handbook"?

The tie is great. Got it on Monday and already worn it to work. Do I put it away to wear after a win, or when ever I feel like showing the colours?

In the almanac, Cale Morton was either missing either height or weight, and there was a couple of other errors I noticed. In general, very good, and the stickers are better than previous years.

With respect Maurie, an almanac ties those lists, tables and info to the various days, weeks and months of the year. Even "handbook' would be glorifying the publication, it simply lacks utility.'"Yearbooklet" would just about cover it.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
