Can we change our forum name?

[VineyIsLORD]

See how Port have a 'est. 1870' thing after their name?

Can we get a 'est. 1858 - first football club in the universe' after ours?

 

[PerfectFooty]

What i would rather change is the banner. Not trying to be insensitive, but the little message in tribute to Jim is a bit old now, 2012 is four years ago now. A lot have other champions have passed since then too and i think now would be an appropriate time to change it

 

[Headless]

'Melbourne Football Club' pls.

 

[LeverPuller]

'Melbourne Football Club' pls.

Agree with this. Melbourne Football Club or Melbourne FC as the name.

Oh, and for the sub-line...

Disagree. I think the message re Stynes should stay up for as long as the board is active.

Nah. Shows their insecurity. We don't need it.

Well if that's the case we should at least add to it then. What about Flower and White?

 

[Tulip]

Think we did this a few years ago, added Demons to Melbourne. C. end of 2011.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

No........

although MelbourneLand would be pretty neat.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

That way our Hugo brothers and sisters who eat the fish heads and live in the attic could then say stuff like: "lol, have a look at the ****'s over on 'land" as well.

I think of others.

With all due respect to those two (and others), Jim almost singlehandedly saved our club when it was on its knees - add that to his incredible story, playing career and work outside of footy, I think he stands alone.

Maybe so, and you could probably take White out of it, although i believe he deserves any amount of respect too. But Flower is right up there with Jim

 

[Tulip]

Regardless of what happened once he got sick, I don't think we'd have had a club after 2008 without him.

And it is Wight not White. At least I think that is who you are referring to.

Yep, was about to say the same thing.

Assuming we're talking about Sean the criminally underrated Irishman, and not the horrifing reanimated corpses that probably only Game of Thrones book fans would be across. (Whitewalkers reanimate the dead and they become "Wights")

Still have a vivid memory of Sean taking a hanger right in front of me against Adelaide (I think) would have been one of the last games I saw at the G before moving to QLD

Loved Sean as a kid. I remember him getting to contests to spoil when you thought he had no chance. And took some seriously good contesed marks in the backline. Just a player you couldn't help but like.

And for the record he scottish, albeit recruited through the Irish experiment.

Just saw that after looking him up after posting. Remembered that he was picked up from Gaelic, didn't remember he was actually Scottish ... I was 11 when he retired to be fair

I did remember considering a 27 on the back of my Guernsey for a while, and then Allen Jackovich came along ...

In the spirit of Disney I think Demonworld could be a winner.

"We went to Demonland"

"Demonworld is better though!"

How about 'Melbournology'..

If we're changing our name can someone please change the HTML head tag? The fact the page is called 'Melbourne Demons Demons' does my poor little head in...

I can't unsee that ...

I think I asked the BigFooty higher ups about it ages ago (site admin, not our mods) but didn't hear back. It's part of my life now.
