I hope we change the Hankook logo a bit.

I think we have, from a brief moment with Brad Miller on the footy show, but I found it to be too overbearing and thought it stood out too much.

I agree, the Primus logo for the last two years was good because it didn't take over the jumper too much. I'm sure that it was simply a case of just getting a logo on the jumper so that they could go get them made as quick as they could.

I heard on SEN news this morning that Melbourne are to change the blue in their gurneys to an even darker blue - described as "almost black."

The way it was in the Glory Years....Bring it on, Make the Colours Mean & strong.

clashes with bombers considerably I would say, and they have had there's alot longer.

I will take on the bombers any day. The MFC is 150 years old

This new jumper is going to look the sharpest in the AFL by a mile.

On a related note, I received an email from the club today about a Megastore Sale, and the red clash strip (with the demon on the front) is reduced from $109 to $79.

Does that mean we're phasing it out? I quite like it. Prefer wearing just red and blue as opposed to the white strip we've got.

It probably just means that there will be an updated version of that jumper next year. The same design, but new jumper.

True but they change the jumpers every time and the bombers have had there colours and sash from day one, also have more money and poitical power so all i can say is it better be dark blue

There will never be Black in our Jumper, that i would stake my life on...

Just give it a few years, we will have as much clout as the Bombers. History between the 2 clubs goes Right Back.

The Demons Have to start Standing their Ground on what we believe, & not just pleasing other Parties.

This probably has no baring what so ever with our situation but the Adelaide Crows have launched their new guernseys with Reebok - the contract finishes at the end of 2012. Seems a bit odd as Adidas (their previous sponsor) likes the big profile clubs but then again Adidas own Reebok anyway.

With a darker, more traditional guernsey you'd think that whoever we get would be happy as their logo would stand out more. I've read comments that our contract with Reebok expires so hopefully the new guernsey lands a big fish.

I'm not sure that Reebok contract is expiring, I hope it is because I really don't rate their football gear (pet hate of mine). I like the Adidas jumpers much more, even with their weird little circles around the neck.

Does anyone know how apparel sponsorships work? Do companies such as Reebok pay the clubs, or do they just gain licensing agreements in return for providing gear to the clubs?

Agree with both points. Reebok's jumper has those stupid 'flaps' at the front and back, which seemt to me to do nothing but provide opposition players with easy spots to grab on to when tackling. Adidas' jumpers seem to fit the body much tighter and are even at the bottom.

Yeah I'd like to know too. I think the sponsor makes and provides all the gear, and there is a financial deal involved too, but I don't really understand it.

I'm not sure if every sponsorship is the same, but most apparel sponsors don't pay the club, they simply make the products for them and receive a cut from the profits of selling the products.

This is why we get stuck with Reebok (no offense to Reebok :D), and big clubs like Collingwood and Carlton get Nike and Adidas. More members, more sales, more money for the sponsors.

Mind you, smart sponsors would look at the general supporter base of a club and try to align their own brand with the appropriate supporter group. It's unlikely that Puma will sponsor Collingwood for example.

why not Puma and Collingwood?

Because Puma is more of a fashion-oriented lifestyle brand in Australia, and does not consider itself to be an elite performance brand.

Have a look at who they sponsor and you can work out where they want to position themselves in the market.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
