    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

It is no my way at all. Have you read my thoughts on the white jumper. Read the OP. I HATE the white jumper. BUT "we are going to be forced by the AFL to wear a predominantly white jumper next year and going forward". Others have confirmed as much from MFC sources. So why carry on the talk about other alternatives. Just for you mate, I have come up with a design that the afl, MIGHT, THINK ABOUT. You can forget the Royal Blue, it clashes WITH The doggies and WCE. L@@K below

Well, I still think you should add a final option of "none of the above" (please)

I do understand what you are trying to do, and I have read all the posts.

With respect to the royal blue. Reread my original post. I was NOT necessarily proposing it, just giving an example. I was just suggesting that using different shades of red and/or blue, MIGHT be better than white, and MIGHT be a way of reducing clashes, and MIGHT be a different approach to the problem.

Just trying to use a bit of lateral thinking, we're not necessarily on different pages!

Thanks, It's at least a good start.

I think it's better than the white options. Maybe it'll get people's creative juices going in a different direction

Let's see where it leads us, can't do any harm experimenting with different approaches

I know what I like/dislike but my design skills are !#ss weak

Not bad, I could live with that

Dunno whether AFL would consider it a clash with WC? They do have some strange ideas on clashes.

Unfortunately the AFL don't publish guidlines on clash definitions (as we all know)

Jimi, thatnks for the input, I have deliberately made the back blue. The reason being that it adds more red and blue comination. I understand what you are saying but, otherwise it will look like a Sydney Jumper. I will draw one up and you can see what you think. I have slightly changed the one above to include more blue on the back. Meaning less white space. I have also added '1858' in red up the top of the jumper and changed the numbers to red. I will keep working on it til we get there.

Belzebub, I have an idea of the type of logo you are talking about. I will give it a shot clashstrip24.png

actually...this one with the modified motif ( hint of a red outline just to embellish it ) is really quite nice. Possible matchingblue panel on shorts. Its bold, makes impact and looks lke a football jumper with tradition whilst not looking like a fumbled attempt at fashion.

Nice stuf 24

Yeah like this one Redleg....you scared me saying that Option 5 is what we will have if nothing is done. That is a shocker!!

So I am aboard your white ideas and will go with this.

and a memo to the club... once weve actually got a decent 2nd strip...can we just keep it. Get some games and miles into so it too belongs to this great club !!!!

Looking forward to seeing the emblem...and still no one who knows ( i.e has seen ) has made a comment as to its suitability on this kind of jumper. Some comment is welcome :) cheers

I just dont get the AFL decree.

"All clubs with the exception of Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond have a mainly white jumper.

The other exception is Geelong, who's clash strip has more blue than the home jumper ( go figure).

Interetsing that the teams with a lot of black ( the hardest colour to see ) do not abide by the AFL decision."

Seems there are too many exceptions to the "rule".

The alternate red is better than white as it would cause less clashes.

Or does this mean we will never see umpires in white ever again, just pink or red when we are playing.

Daisy cutter, I have redone the one you wantd with a different blue. There is no way the AFL will allow us to use that BLUE. GC are going to have a very similiar colour. Have to be this 'Argentine' blue78775144.png

I too would like to stick with a "good" clash jumper, but there's no way the team would or should pass up the opportunity to sell new jumpers every couple of years

Possibly as sponsors come and go there will be opportunities to revise a jumper but Im really sick to death of everything from a pajama outfit to 'basic' efort supposedly there to represent this illustrious club. Cant we have some more tradition. Some class..some dedfinition about who we are...its all been so wishy washy. We need determination and resolution. We need to make it stand for something. ..just my view of course

But do you think we would need a clash jumper against GC? I haven't really seen GC's final jumper.

That previous blue was a fairly "electric" blue which would be very easy to pickup and look good on TV.

After NM's effort I wouldn't like the blue to get too pale!

Maybe something like "Palace Blue" PANTONE 18-4043 ???

BTW is there an official list of clubs that the AFL deem we clash with?

Daisycutter What justification would we have for a light blue colour?

At the risk of offending you "get over it" the jumper will be White with red and blue trim.

That is it all over all done!

When we win the premiership you won't care what jumper they are wearing, well I won,t

Old Dee, you don't offend me . . . . . its just a POV OK

I gave my justification for trying different shades of red and/or blue. Read my previous posts.

You are probably right . . . . it just won't happen . . but I still won't like it.

Don't worry though, I won't lose any sleep over it (well, not too much).

I give Redleg credit for trying to make the most out of something he doesn't like either.

Nothing wrong with trying to tossup some other ideas . . . it's never over until the fat lady sings.

Cheers ("we are the red and the blue")

If we win the Flag in a white Jumper i will be Furious (& yes i will still enjoy it-but you get my point)

Keep up the Fight Daisy. We must fight for our colours.

A little bit off topic, but according to club twitter we WILL be wearing our traditional strip this weekend against the bummers.

Does anyone know what the bummers will be wearing?

If it's that wider red sash one, that would hardly reduce the clash.

This whole clash inconsistency does my head in.

If we have to have stupid white on our jumper then the one with the MFC logo with the red and blue around it. Why can't we just wear an all red and all blue jumper for these clash jumpers?

Here we go again...All aboard the merry go round! WE CANT WEAR ALL RED...the AFL dictatorship have deemed it clashes with certain clubs ala Brisbane. We cannot have a white one, a light blue one, a red one a normal one. The white prevents the clash with a number of teams. If we can have 3, like the Eagles, then this IS THE OPTION we should take. But, I am led to believe this is not currently permitted. So the AFL have deemed we must produce a PREDOMINANTLY WHITE JUPER. Are we all clear why we are now having this discussion.

IF anyone believes this is not the case and has heard otherwise, please inform all of us. As far as I am aware, the AFL's position has NOT altered.

IMO those light blue designs look far worse than the white ones. The wite is more Melbourne than a light electric blue, and before anyone asks, NO! WE CANNOT WEAR ROYAL BLUE, it clashes with Footscray.

I am not making this up for my benefit, I am looking for solutions. Remove your heads from the sand.

'24 great work mate, I appreciate what you're doing.

Still remember going to the G as a boy the feeling I got seeing 18 players in red & blue on the field. I still get that today and I'm sure all passionate fans are the same. The AFL fails to respect this.

I like #70 the best. Could a blue "1858" be incorporated onto the back?

God forbid any team should ever play a grandfinal in a clash strip!

This is my final offering, unless other suggestions are made,. It combines elements of Option 6 and 2, and has included suggestions from other posters. Thanks all for your imput. I think this is the one, along with three others, that I will send to the club.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
