I think it is pathetic to carry on and claim we should never have to wear a completely different coloured clash strip.

All clubs should be forced to have one that is drastically different to their home strip.

Seems to work fine in the EPL.

Tradition is an argument for those stubbornly trying to resist change.

I agree E25 we have to wear a mainly white jumper like the majority of clubs.

Like or lump it that is the position.

I would prefer our normal jumper however I have got used to the white one.

As long as we win who cares.

Matt Burgan confirmed it in the teams chat today. It doesn't really matter, Brisbane are crap. If an in form Richmond can beat them up there, a more in form Melbourne can thump them up there

Not this again?! FCS.

If Brad Miller can tackle Matty Whelan at OO against Carlton, we can have a clash strip. It looks fine.

And the MFC at one point was called 'the Invincible Whites' early in our storied history, WYL. So stop being so excitable.

Move on, nuff-nuffs.

I know that hurt but it's a nuff-nuff/Hun/fork-and-spoon issue and we are above that.

Hey great idea rpfc.

Why don't you send Stynesy a note, suggesting we revert our home guernsey to the invincible whites and change our nickname to the "Invincible White Fuschias". Stuff all this demons rubbish. Oh, and you could suggest we get a good place-kicker in the next deaft.

If we all back you up on this will we still be nuff-nuffs?

The white doesn't look great. But it is better than some of the others we have had.

Perhaps next years clash strip will be white, with a big new emblem in the middle???????????????/

but it's not the reason we can't win away games.

Some people would have you belive that the only reason we were 40pts down against Freo was because we wearing the white strip. They'd also say that had we worn it last week V Sydney we would've lost.

The anti alternate strip discussion has been one of Demonland's most annoying topics over the years. It's a jumper we have to wear every other away game...who cares!

Where do you get this red herring from?????

Its NOT about winning/losing because of clash strip. Sheeesh!

Its about being the red&blue not looking like some KKKlansman

Aggreed Thats the issue how they look not how they play when dressed in all white

And the fact that we just meekly accept the AFL arbitary rulings on the matter

I would expect that next year all teams will play in the AFL required strip not just some of them

Suit yourself rpfc but i will not let this one go. Particularly when we had to wear a clash strip against St.kilda and then Essendon were fine to wear their colours against us. It's the AFL who are wrong on this-Not me.

We should never wear white-thats foor Footscray. We are Red & Blue..."Maintain the Rage"

I watched footy in the old days on black & White TV and at grounds with no lights, and everybody was happy their team wore the Trad Strip. Life is too easy for too many these days!!!

Its a forum, mate.

Play the ball and not the man.

Whatever that means.

Honestly, if you want to be sarcastic and flippant you really are having a go at the wrong bloke - it's my stock and trade.

It's a non-issue that, as BBP says, is one of the most annoying arguments on this place.

We need an alternative, it looks fine and we should move on.

You really don't know what that means? Or are you just being coy?

I don't see that poster-abuse adds anything to your argument. Just try sticking to your POV and try not to belittle others to make a point. Got it?

I have no problem with your POV, its your opinion.

I just have a different POV. Is that too hard to comprehend?

Have a nice evening

What happens if we have to play essendon, Brisbane, st. Kilda etc in a final or grand final? I don't want to see us play a grand final in anything other than the navy blue with red yoke.

What happens?

According to some you turn into a nuff-nuff idiot who won't move on!

Something to look forward too, huh?

Maintain the rage

We better make sure we finish higher then, so we won't have to. BTW, I wouldn't have thought ST.Kilda would be an issue.

St.kilda as certainly an issue a few weeks back when we had to wear a clash jumper. This is the exact reason this issue gets my blood boiling. It is unnecessary and wrong.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
