Here is one to start off.

1: Freo designs club colours /jumper very similar to

ours (MFC)

2: GC also has red & blue in their club colours

I havent seen West Sydney yet, but IF they have red & blue somewhere in there I am going to Screeeeam!

I didnt think I;d say this but the pies stood firm

on alternative jumpers. Good for them.

Cant tell me there's no designer that cant come up with

a nice looking jumper without using red & blue in there.

I'm not a big fan on our 'white' alternative strip either. We are 'red & blue' SO all those 'johnny-come-latelys... get your OWN colours.

Thats my winge!

Any more takers?

Maybe its because "Red & Blue" are the best colours and imitation is the best form of flattery.

On the dockers, its a mess of a jumper, designed by a committee where they couldn't agree one a single concept.

Haven't seen the gold coast so no comment.

Lastly the clash concept should give priority to the oldest clubs with newer clubs having to wear a class jumper with their older brothers if their is one.

Thought it is a money spiner!!

I'm more confused by how similar the GC17 colours are to those of the Brisbane Lions.

They are also exactly the same as Fitzroy's were, not to mention the Adelaide Crows.

Surely the AFL should have ensure they chose a drastically different colour scheme to any others already in existence..?

Not sure what your gripe about Freo is. Their mess of a jumper looks nothing like ours.

I agree on our white strip-Looks bloody Terrible, and certainly nothing like the Melbourne Football club.

Clash strips are my biggest Gripe within the game-dilute the Tribal feel of the Team

At a glance standing on a Freo players left have a split second to shoot out the ball, It can be mistaken for our

player,made worse on wet muddy days. From behind a Freo player,the red on their shoulders and also be mistaken.

Looking front on not a problem.

Collingwood / North - Carlton / Fitzroy were probably the

worst to pick on wet days.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
