The other criteria enforced by the AFL surround the length of time a jumper must be used and it's colouring. Dark playing strips need a light coloured alternative, as in the case of our silver jumpers and an "alternate" jumper must also be used for a minimum of two years. Unfortunately, the AFL will not allow Red to be the predominant colour. The AFL have determined that the MELBOURNEfc home strip clashes with Brisbane, St Kilda, Essendon, Fremantle and Carlton. This clash occurs mainly due to the dark back of our jumper and those of the clubs listed.

Weak response. I'm guessing this is the stock standard that we'll all get in response to any email about the jumper. I now believe that it is the club that wants the white strip. The statement 'Unfortunately, the AFL will not allow Red to be the predominant colour' is incorrect, as has been mentioned numerous times. I'm sure people have sent the club comparisons between a red alternative strip and all these jumpers. There is no clash. I think our pleas are falling on deaf ears.

    this is my reply to the email I sent today....

    We appreciate your feedback regarding MELBOURNEfc's uniform. MELBOURNEfc experimented with some colours to create a uniform appearance in the early years of its existence. A distinctive white outfit was used, which led to one of the Club's earliest nicknames - 'Invincible Whites'. This made way for red and blue in the 1870s, but still has an important place in the Melbourne Football Club's earliest history and cultural background.

    Clash jumpers are in place to ensure that there is clear differentiation between the teams to benefit the players, the spectators, the officials, and the broadcast and media partners amongst others. A ‘main’ playing uniform and an ‘alternate’ playing uniform are mandatory for all Clubs as stipulated by the AFL.

    That Response Looks Like it was Written by the AFL (Adrain Amnderson) That is Pathetic-Keep Fighting We are Red & Blue not Footscray..

    As i said in another link- Isn't it Fascinating that Sydney never wear a Clash Strip or white Shorts Hmmmmmm

    62 versus 27. It seems Demonlanders want the MFC moniker back at the club

    sounds good to me. But how come the MFC poll was 50/50 ??????????????????????????? ridiculous

    At the aftermatch the other night (Aside from the Sub-Arctic temperature) the Demon jumper won quite convincingly in the vote.

    I hope it's the club skewing it so we can get an all red jumper

    I was at the aftermatch function...and the demon jumper only got the vote because the 'demon mascot 'was there. I would love the demon back , but not OPTION A, so that's why I voted option B. We should have had an OPTION C

    I realise it probably wasn't most peoples preferred option (and at the time we didn't know the club was going to try and fight to get a red base), but the Demon jumper certainly won.

    Speaking of Ronny, he was absolute Gold! Should be used more often

    I'm guessing the club did this as a test to see what people thought, but the only way one of those jumpers was going to be announced was if there was an overwhelming response to one of them over the other. Like maybe 80-20 or something. I reckon it would have been something like 55-45, which for the club probably wasn't definitive enough.

    Anybody got a pro-forma letter for sending to the club? I live in Canberra and quite like the red jumper with the MFC logo as well.

    Thanks.

    72-28 in favour of the MFC moniker.

    Bring it back MFC!

    I have to say, I'm surprised to see only 35 out of 107 go for the red and blue only jumper, suggesting the remaining 72 prefer a white jumper. If that's the case, I don't know if a red and blue clash strip will be on the cards.

    Keep in mind..only one of the five choices above is red. A random selction would run at 20%.. yet its actually running at near 1/3 the vote ..or 165 % over its mean and by far the best performer of any selection. In reality all this really means is ..stats can be made to sound like a lot of things !! lol

    In the venacular it would be put its a stacked selection with only one of five choices being red..yet its still polling the highest !!

    Dont discount Ol' Red just yet :lol:;)

    Might be time to poll off between the "A" Demon and the RedBlue Insignia, even though caddy's is the highest polling "White".

    The five options are probably muddying the water a bit given the major debate is White v Red. Thoughts?

    :lol:

    Even so though, if the general consensus amongst the Demon faithful was that a red jumper was the better choice, I'd expect a much higher percentage. But then again, I'm probably just getting a bit worried because I can't stand the thought of us running out next year in white.

    let's all email the club

    someone is fibbing along the lines or the AFL suddenly decided to change the rules

    in 2007 we wore the red and HAD NO CLASHES WITH ANYONE

    at the end of the season, the club emailed us giving an option for a third colour but at the time i thought that it was just some ploy from reebok to start with a fresh idea for a clash jumper

    i think yellow and teal? were among the options

    i dont think teal is exactly that much of a "light"colour

    and then we go with silver which had more of a clash this year than our red option

    so we decide to go with a white option

    some people have suggested its because of GC17...but no, because i dont think our home jumper would clash with theirs anyway

    someone along the lines, be it at melbourne or the AFL, is a stupid [censored] that is either after money or is colour blind

    where is sydneys crap strip?

    where is collingwoods?

    essendons has hardly changed?

    geelong dont need to change colours?

    wtf is going wrong!!!

    can EVERYBODY please email the club and express their thoughts because if they get enough emails, maybe someone somewhere will listen

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
