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???????????????/

    I think the white guernsey looks great. Sorry to spoil the fantasy folks, 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!

    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!!!

    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

    Well said. Can't believe i read these people talk about this issue for so long. I must be bored!

    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.

    Something to look forward too, huh?

    I've never heard anything more pathetic.

    Dammit, my mum's flying up to Cairns tomorrow, but she's stopping in Brisbane along the way. Should have planned to go and stay in Brisbane Saturday night, then fly back Sunday...crap, I would've enjoyed that

    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.

    Well, we've won in the white now. Can this discussion about white jumpers now end?

    As said ad nauseum, it was never about winning/losing.

    But you're welcome to quit the discussion if you like

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
