We get to choose clash jumper

Choose carefully people. I'm still undecided too mousey. Ask yourself, when the players put their strips on "what will they feel good in?"

Earlier poster was right, we need the players to model these options IMO.

No need to call me pathetic. After being a member for nearly 30 years, I am appalled that we find ourselves in this position as a football club - maybe that is why you see me as a nelly naysayer. However, I am quite positive that onfield we are on the right track. I like the route Dean Bailey is taking. I have issues with the off field stuff.

My point is, that as a member we should be voting for the jumper rather than moronic Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond supporters logging on and choosing our jumper. We also shouldn't allow Melbourne supporters who do not have a membership the right to vote. Buy a membership and then get the 'right' to vote on issues relating to your club.

As it stands, this idiot (Idiot crys for Eamon and Steph) on the dole who forked out $300 to see two swimmers can have a vote on the MFC Away strip. How does that make you feel as a Melbourne member?

By the way, option A is horrible.

Melbourne supporters can have a say. Not just members. There would be fewer than 1% of opposition supporters even contemplating on clicking on our site IMO.

I am a long-time member too, and I would like supporters who aren't members to have a say, they might like having a say and want to join as a result anyway.

As for the idiot, I seriously doubt he/she would be even the slightest bit interested in even contemplating a choice between two MFC strips! Let alone wanting to find the Mfc site and clicking on it. They wouldn't give a stuff!

I think it should be a "privilege" of being a MFC member. If it is going to take someone the opportunity to vote on a jumper to help the struggling club than they are even more pathetic than the $300 idiot.

Mousey... mate.

Too many have forgotten that we are the oldest team in the land, that we are the club where it all started.

Even our own supporters are saying that Option B looks like Carltons jumper, when it is theirs that looks like ours.

Doesn't that stir you up?

So when Option B is chosen and people make that mistake, wont you take great pleasure in telling them that OUR logo was the first of it's kind in the competition?

Option B mate, hands down.

Agree. What about the future that lies ahead down at Casey? MFC's future, should people who are supporters but not members down there have a say?

I agree with Joe Rugolo, and his brother Frank, why should we allow Collingwood supporters the ability to vote on this? If they were to present two strips, one black and white stripes, sorry I mean white on black stripes, and the other a monstrosity with a clown on it, I know I'd take great delight in voting for the clown strip to watch them running out in it next year. So too would every Carlton, Richmond, Essendon etc fan...

The only real clash's we have are with Essendon and Freo for mine.

I actually like them both, some of you are being incredibly picky, get over yourselves.

I like option B's tradition but lets be honest it looks exactly the same as Carltons. However A looks similar to the Dogs. Tough one, im happy with either to be honest, both look pretty good in my opinion. Don't know what everyones problem with white is, it's only every once in a while.

the fork well said my man!!

OPTION B for sure!!

i cant believe it is even being discussed

i bet the younger ones are voting A

See right there!!! Thats the thing is making me torn.

I agree with you Fork mate!

But with what the person said above " I bet the younger ones are voting A"

Is it not one of our very important tasks to get more younger generation interested in our footy club? Doesnt option A do that?

I totally agree with all points of views here but it is a harder choice than people think when you factor in what is best for the club when trying to attract the younger generation?

The argument of who can and who cant will require those wishing to limit to also indicate how you police all this ..and still get a result ..any meaningful result..in a workable time. Look..you go fishing you always get crap in the net.. for us it may be some filth !! lol

For those wishing to restrict everythig to members.. maybe your shooting the club inteh foot. Often a way to get peoepl on board is to first give then some measure of participation etc.. Give a supporter ( even non-ones )a chance to be involved might just be a catalyst to get hem thinkng...hey I might just buy my membership next year etc.

We need members ..and evern general acceptance and the goodwill of the football public.. so ..hey..lets involve them...they might just like us !! :)...we cant afford to be to precious as to alienate people..

This is NEW MELBOURNE...a club for ALL MELBOURNIANS !!!! ;)

Demons32 - Some sense to the forum for once.

It shouldn't really matter if it looks similar to Carlton's. It's part of tradition. We wouldn't be playing Carlton in their clash jumper with our clash jumper.

Re: Once in a while - it should only be worn against Essendon and maybe Freo home games IMO.

IMO Carlton and Melbourne games should wear their traditional jumpers.

Ruined my day seeing these 2 designs, looks like as long as the AFL are handing out money we will bend over for them.

I'm going option 1 though, bring back the demon. Option 2 looks too much like a rip off Carlton guernsey. Don't worry if you think it's outdated, it'll be gone in 2 years when the AFL decides Melbourne must introduce all the colours of the rainbow into their clash guernsey.

This is a great way to kill off our brand even more, no wonder we are insignificant to the rest of the league.

Surely the red jumper we had a few years back was enough evidence that it solved any clash problems.

Look mate, on the post just above you, Demon32 making the exact same mistake that I have just spoken about, and he/she goes for the Dees!

CARLTONS logo looks like OURS!!!

We are always batting on about how we deserve a bit of respect, its time WE started respecting ourselves.

I agree mousey the Demon can play a role in bringing younger supporters to the club, I just don't think that our clash jumper is the place to do it. I think it's an opportunity to impress that new things may happen in footy (like having to submit to wearing clash jumpers) but we have been here forever and we're not going anywhere.

Well, I like the one on the right, the one with the MFC monogram. The Demon logos give me the sh1ts as they all look like they've been designed by the 12 year old children of ad-agency executives.

Meanwhile.

There have been 175 votes and it's tied 50% to 50%.

Update! Spot on, Demonologist.

Fair enough mate i agree with you!

Thanks for the guidance.

Good work to Jimmy and the MFC also for giving the public a choice also.

VOTE B!

Option A is horrible, truly horrible. It looks like an amature under 12's jumper.

I still think they should have enlisted supporters to DESIGN the jumper, not just vote. I've seen some great jumpers designed by our supporters, and I know a few fashion design students who happen to barrack for Melbourne who would happily have tried to come up with some designs *cough* :P

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward.

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
