The Clash Jumper

Pello
in Melbourne Demons

Why did we wear our clash jumper again yesterday? Our traditional strip should be worn as much as possible. Surely it doesn't clash with the West Coast jumper.

We need to stand up a bit more and only wear it in our away games against Carlton, Essendon, Bulldogs and maybe Port Power.

    It clashes Pello, according to the AFL.

    We looked good I thought.

    We will wear our traditional strip this week. The Bullies will in no doubt wear the all-white. ;)

    The AFL are extremely sensitive about any clashes with teams. The problem is that the AFL have allowed teams like Adelaide, West Coast and Fremantle to bring in or change their jumper designs which clearly clash with other teams such as Melbourne.

    The AFL created the problem and now the clubs are paying for it.

    I'd really like for the MFC to play in the traditional MFC guernsey. There are 'reasons' why this doesn't occur. Doesn't make it any more palatable.

    I might be in the minority, but i actually thought it looked alright. Of course i prefer the traditional home guernsey, but the red clash jumper is in no way a disgrace (unlike that thing we wore last season)...

    Agree its better than that silver abomination. But it doesn't clash with the WCE jumper and we need to push back on the AFL from time to time. The only good thing about Collingwood is that they don't get pushed around.

    Oh yeah, everyone else gets bullied on their behalf :rolleyes: ........

    Personally I think Collingwood could do with having to be pushed around just a little.

    Occassionally I'd like to see them shoved a little, to get their nose out of joint. :o;)

    I thought it looked good, but like most people I prefer we stick with the traditional jumper. Have no problem wearing something different for 2-3 games a year as long as it's red and blue.

    It's a non-issue, both our alternative strips are fine.

    And I still remember when Miller tackled Whelan at Optus Oval about 5 years ago.

    They're required, Eddie...

    Never thought I'd be happy with an alternative strip but this one's pretty good. Wearing at our interstate games seems like common sense from the club. One question though, What's going to happen when we play a home game against Essendon? (Hasn't happened for awhile as the AFL tightened the screws on struggling cllubs) What I don't want to see happen is the club buckling the way North has with Collingwood.

    I don't like it at all.

    It's awful. The white version is OK. The red strip makes it difficult to see numbers etc.

    I'm watching Collingwood v St Kilda and I reckon there's more of a clash with Collingwood when the Saints wear their clash jumper.

    Can't say I agree, there's a fair distinction...though I think the Saints jumper looks ridiculous.

    They should've worn this against Port, I couldn't tell them apart a few weeks ago

    The issue with St Kilda's regular guernsey when playing Collingwood is the back of the jumper. Both jumpers have black backgrounds with white numbers, and there is a definite clash there. I'm watching the game tonight also, i'm not sure where the clash u see with their alt strip is?

    Get with the times guys. It's not the 1930's.

    The jumper aint gonna be the difference between a win and a loss.

    Every other pro sport in the world has alternative strips.

    The one thing I do agree with is that Collingwood should be forced to wear a clash strip in away games.

    I think he means that there's no less clash between this and the original jumper.

    I can't see any reason for clubs to wear clash jumpers when there's hardly any clash to start with. For instance, we could have easily worn our own traditional jumper against the Eagles on Sunday. The AFL is taking the whole issue to ridiculous extremes and St. Kilda's jumper last night was stupide. The worst of it all was Norf's against Collingwood the week before.

    Are we talking about whether the jumper looks good or whether there is a need to wear it against a team? St.Kilda's jumper looked poor but assisted in distinguishing between the dark team and the light team. The other way you could tell was that if the team was hitting targets and kicking goals, it was St.Kilda!

    I maintain that our red clash jumper looks good, and I prefer wearing the traditional jumper, but there is a clash between our traditional jumper and Carlton, Essendon, and the Port, Adelaide, Fremantle and Eagles Home Jumpers. If we wear our white clash jumper against Essendon I won't mind because it 's an away game, it looks good, and clearly distinguishes the two teams. No excuses for hitting the wrong target or a miller-whelan style tackle!

    Agree. I prefer the white one for a clash strip. Can't they bring back the old electric blue and red number we wore in the 80's as a clash jumper?

    God I hope not.

    Both our alternate strips look okay, and I am firmly in agreement with the clash jumper policy.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
