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 think it's awesome, helps attract the new generation supporter to the club.

Don't mind wearing it at all for an away strip.

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!

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

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
