I agree, I can't stand the thing. I'm find myself starting to understand eddie everywhere's thoughts re the clash strip idea. Lets go back to our good old demons jumper & stuff the clash strip idea.

looks bloody terrible, whats happening to our identity? just a subtle change to our "home' ' jumper was all we needed to do today, maybe a thin white strip between the traditional red and blue. Get some balls MFC and stop being dictated to by the AFL.

it doesnt clash so how does it not serve its purpose?

We wear red and blue and St.Kilda wear red white and black.

At game speed today it looked liked red white and blue against red white and black.

We've added a white-ish colour to our clash jumper, when most of our clash jumper games are against clubs with white already in their jumper - St.Kilda, Carlton, Fremantle...

The red was fine, it looked alright, it was still identifable as a Melbourne jumper, and it was a genuine difference against most clubs.

I'm embarrassed to support a club that is so quick to sell its history and tradition. The jumper is revolting and unrecognisable to the MFC.

It's the first thing I'd change given an opportunity.

The clash jumper is shocking and it clashes with the opposition team. Good work people.

What ever happened to the red horizontal stripe we had a few years ago. Make the red stripe really fat or thin according to the clash.

Silver is just crap.

We need a pole on this one audience, if only gra, gra, was here to pole the veiwers.

Seriously though it's our club & we should let the club here our thoughts on this one.

Can someone please make a poll on this one :- a/ Whether to keep for next year ,,, or

-------------------------------------------------------------b/ Whether to banish to the hellfire!!

Thank god Byron Pickett is gone. He'd look like the Good-Year blimp in that thing.

I don't mind the use of silver, but our club's jumper should ALWAYS feature red and blue more prominently than any other colour. Why Eddie can have his way and we have to subject our players to wearing a jumper that puts on 15kgs is beyond me.

Also, all long-sleeve versions of that thing must be burnt at once. Makes us look like a bunch of elephants running around.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
