    Then what's with the 2 alternatives we've been voting on at melbournefc.com.au?

    Despite rumours to the contrary..there is NO clash between these jumpers. Some may point out the obvious syd melb yoke similarity. Amazingly these teams have played for decades without incident. The mind will ignore the red and distinguish one team as white..and the other as blue..No clash !!

    Personally I have never seen any problem between the Fitzroy/Lion guernsey and our trad red and blue !!

    If we wear blue shorts, and Sydney wear white shorts, there won't be a clash.

    I can only assume Brisbane is the issue. According to the AFL we clash with Carlton, Essendon, Fremantle, St Kilda and Brisbane. The clash with Brisbane is very debatable as I have never seen a problem with it.

    Here's hoping something will be done about it.

    The whole "clash" theory has been conjured up by the AFL to give teams an excuse to make another jumper that increase public merchandise sales slightly. They have another product to sell.

    Yeah, but if that is the case calabrese, and I don't doubt it, why do the AFL insist on jumpers the fans hate?

    Try telling Vlad's lap dog A.Anderson that one. I think he needs his eyes checked. I wonder what they have in store when Jim says "with a Blue demon profile", got any ideas BB? Clint? Perhaps the recent Demon. Maybe BB's avatar!!! AS long as it's a RED clash strip - and not white - I'll be :)

    i think the swans should be made to wear whit shorts for away games, im a bit of a traditionalist and hate it when teams play against sydney in syndey, but wear their home shorts- i dont care how crap it looks on the swans, bring back the white shorts!!! like geelong last year in the Gf wore white shorts when they were the 'home side'

    Sydney dont wear white shorts & havent since Lockett was seen in white shorts. When Melb have played Syd over the last few years the away team wear hooped socks.

    With Jim saying that we will wear Red, maybe the board & the club have listened to the faithfull! (One can only hope)

    If we wear blue shorts, and Sydney wear white shorts, there won't be a clash.

    I'm with you all the way on this one. They are all as different as chalk and cheese.

    Its obvious to me and anybody else that their is no clash

    What i find interesting is what exactly is the agenda of the AFL for their justification of requiring an away strip ?

    Can one of you bubbleheads out there "knock up a mock up" for us on your computational DEvice, so we can see what Nudge is imagining? :mellow:

    I'd do it, but I'm too busy with Bub, QueenC and Rhino, nockin our heads against Bubs brick wall, on another matter !! :wacko:

    If this is true about the red taking over, then it's a very good sign.

    When the silver came in, it was one of a limted set of options and no consideration was given to other feedback, we ended up with the 'best' of a very bad lot.

    Sounds like a bit of feedback came through (amazing what a few events with members where the president talks to enthusiastic supporters can do) and it was decided the white just wasn't going to work.

    I'm cautiously thinking this is phenomenal news. Leadership flexibility and responsiveness to the fans! OMG!

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
