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!

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!!!

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.

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"?

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

    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
