"Bask in the glory ?"...ugh.

Ugh indeed...

And what rubbish suggesting we will no longer be made to wear a white clash strip just because we win a premiership and become financially strong.

This fight is over. The final holdout, Essendon, has acceded to the AFL's will and is going to have a predominantly white clash guernsey next year.

You might as well be screaming and banging on about returning to an all-Victorian league. The world has moved on.

    We shall see. Essendon members must vote on this. A Fight like this one is never over. AFL Commissioners are Transient beasts. The MFC will outlive Vlad, Anderson & co.

    I think you'll find that "part of our constitution" business is a lot of bluff & bluster.

    Are you referring to essendon here??

  • Quote

    Yes.

    Well that would mean their constitution has been changed over the last 2 years, and i doubt that.

    A very passionate Essendon supporter mate of mine voted on the clash jumper 2 years ago i think it was. Members votes count.

    If the Constitution at Essendon has changed, we all would have heard about it

    Essendon supporters will never agree to wearing st.kilda colours without a bloody fight, and nor they should.

    ^This is all I really wanted.

    Well it's up to the Essendon members, but I hope their club makes them realize that the 2 options they are voting for are an alternative clash strip or huge fines handed out by the AFL.

    Take your pick bombers, let's see how long you can afford to pay the fines...

    Cam Schwab tweeted earlier that the new clash guernsey being worked on will be predominantly white. He adds that it will have a more heritage feel about it though, which I am looking forward to. Best guess would have to be something involving the interlinked MFC logo.

    I hope so too. Like you, the white doesn't bother me so long as the design is good, and I'm not a fan of the current design. Too much like the Bulldog's white jumper.

    The insignia would be nice. Better than the demon IMO.

    Well we'll be moving on from the current demon next year, and all indications have been that we'll be going towards something more like that little demon from the old membership card. I don't think he would go too well on a guernsey so at least our white guernsey won't have the 'cartoonish' tough that so many of them do.

    It goes without saying, I'd imagine, that everyone would prefer we didn't have to have a white guernsey, but since we don't live in lollipop land where we always get everything we want, I am more concerned with having a good clash strip that we can learn to be proud of.

    CamSchwab: We are continuing to work on the brand plan that extends from the release of the emblem for 2011, including clash strip and the Demon.

    CamSchwab: The clash strip will have a more traditional feel about it, but yes it will be predominately white. It will hark back to our heritage.

    CamSchwab: These Demons come in all shapes and sizes. It was a seriously weird dude in the Age yesterday. Liking the way ours is emerging. Character.

    Just hope we don't go too far re moving away from tradition.White is not our colour- we are the RED & the BLUE. There is no WHITE in our song for instance.. I think we should have gone for BLUE with our new emblem being Red would be the go.

    There is your answer.

    Answer to what? He just said hark back to tradition . . . he didn't say what that was

    I'm afraid it would appear all the maintained rage is going nowhere fast. Cam Schwab tweeted earlier that the new clash guernsey being worked on will be predominantly white.

    Were you thinking something like this?

    a variation with the original vertical red stripe seen on MFCs first coloured jumper

    mfcclash32007.jpg

    Edited by daisycutter

  • Quote

    Two more variations

    First one only has heritage elements - the MFC letters and the red verical stripe

    Second was that plus an attempt to minimise the white

    mfcclash52007.jpg

  • Quote

    Would something like that please you??

    Well I see two contexts

    1. What we have to live with at least in the short term (ie predomonately white)

    2. What I would really like

    In context of point 1, yeah I could live with something like that

    A Q for you. Was that something like what you were thinking? Which of the 6 comes closest to what you like?

  • Quote

    You should do a search for the clash jumper we wanted about two years ago.

    Some of them were brilliant.

    Indeed some were ok

    I only put these up because InnerDemon said he thought based on tweet that next years clash jumper would probably incorporate the entwined MFC letters as the twwet said it would be heritage/tradition based

    Whether it will have this element I don't have a clue. I thought it might be interesting to see what it "might" look like if it did

    Presumably its all done and dusted, so this was not an attempt at influencing anything

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
