I like it... And I like the idea. I wonder when it'll come to fruition. Although, this means we'll definitely have to have a white clash jumper for Carlton game...

    Wouldn't we just use the white clash guernsey we've got now?

    White clash jumper for Blues?

    RED! RED! MORE RED!

    A bit of red trivia for you - at the 2000 olympics a study was done on the psychological advantage of colours - they examined all the Tae-Kwan-Do bouts for the whole olympics and found that the comptetitors who were given the red sash for their bout won 55% of the bouts, while those given the light/medium blue sash obviously only won 45%. he colours for Tae-Kwan-Do are randomly assigned on a fight by fight basis, so it's actually a pretty rigorous piece of research.

    Red is an advantage almost as good as having an extra player out there!

    I like the idea of going back to the traditional Red and Navy Blue colours for the Melbourne jumper.

    Hopefully we DO have a collar on the jumper.

    I would also like to see the red cuffs added to the long-sleeved jumper. Just like the Demons used to have in the 1990s.

    Looks like schwabby is looking to return to a more traditional jumper

    confirmed on his twitter thread

    "Blood red and a navy slightly less severe than black is the objective. We are working on it."

    "like this http://twitpic.com/kfcyy"

    Here's the link to his thread as well:

    This was announced at the Demon Summit last year. Happy with this initiative. At the time Schwab said over the years the jumper has taken on a gradual change, the red had changed when the quality of the jumpers changed - they'll make sure the blood red is blood red . It's time to get it back to what it once was. Blood red, with a sharper/narrower "V", and a dark, dark navy blue.

    FFS let's not have the crew neck 't-shirt' style that the Pies have. Looks shouse.

    The Bulldogs have announced they are now going with a new design - tight fit jumper - much like the NRL players wear. I think it's one of their newly signed sponsors too. Pity Schwab couldn't beat Rose to the punch on this one too.

    I don't know about this "close to black" business though. I want to see the contrast in colours. Not Essendon with different shapes.

    The Reebok jumpers are rubbish, baggy loose things with no shape that for one look amateur and would be far easier to tackle and hold on to.

    The Adidas jumpers are a bit odd around the neck, but as far as how they fit they are much better and no doubt would give players a bit of an advantage, even if it is just 1%.

    EDIT: Great news about the jumper colours too by the way.

    lol Good one, Cam!

    Agreed.

    Agreed+2

    I like the colour contrast we have now, I don't want the blue too dark, and I sure as hell don't want a collar on it....

    just my opinion though.

    those that remember the darker navy with blood red yoke will always consider it the smartest and most decisively "Melbourne" of all jumpers.

    Ccolour Telly has a lot to answer for .. :lol:

    Yes Exactly. I want our modern jumper to be the same hue as it was in the '50's, & if that means a collar aswell.....DO IT. :lol:

    As long as it doesn't have a round neck like Carlton (the worst) & Pies.

    ... and while they're at it, is there any possibility of them doing a redesign of the away jumpers so that the Demon on them looks a lot more ferocious, formidable and bloodcurdling?

    Perhaps a few drops of blood coming from the sharpened teeth to scare the living suitcases out of the opposition?

    0R the players having blood dripping from a couple of sharpened teeth might work lol

    Don't know about the collar. I can't see any reason why sticking a collar on a jumper would invoke passion amongst the players. They'd probably just feel a little bit stupid.

    Let's just concentrate on getting the colours better and the design tighter (if possible).

    I think he's referring to the colours. I can't imagine the collar ever coming back.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
