At lunch today the new President Jim Stynes stated the new jumper will be RED will a demon profile. No white. No silver. With RED we will only clash with one other team (Sydney ??? or Brisbane) but he was adamant NO WHITE!!!!

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 !!

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.

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!

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
