It has Cam Schwab written all over it. He is right up there with Jimmy in turning this club around. Two years ago Melbounre stood for nothing, now, Melbounre is football.

    Great stuff ! Is there any significance in no portrayal of a white shorts option with our traditional strip.

    it looks awesome, but safe bet the clash jumper will cause controversy

  • Quote

    The clash strip is as good as it can possibly be. Its the the traditional jumper with only as much white as is required. This board just keeps on kicking goals.

    Great work linking the clash jumper to the MCC too.

    Something I never considered.

    (it's something we can lean on in future too, as justification in not budging on the design, if need be).

    Both jumpers look great.

    I like the way Thomo put it; Melbourne is football.

    Pretty much agree with that

    Given white was a given, this is the best design by far I have seen (assuming we are allowed to wear navy shorts). White kept to a minimum.

    A very professional job

    Loving the direction the club has taken.

    Whether you like the new jumpers, or the new emblem, or whatever topic... the club is explaining the reasoning behind everything we're doing.

    Feels good to be a part of a club that going places on and off the field.

    I like both of the jumpers, wasn't sure about the mini Chinese flag on the back, but it'll be a new tradition, and it'll grow on me as more stars are added.

    Clash jumper looks like a good clash jumper, can't complain.

    Great job to all involved.

    Tha new clash jumper has got nothing on last years. The demon on white was ok in my book, this new one is suspect at best.

    As for the other changes, seems fine to me.

    Brilliant! I love the new gear, and the way our club has set about explaining and promoting it.

    Agree with all this.

    Well done MFC on not just releasing a few photos here and there but actually making it an event and explaining the significance behind it all.

    At first I was skeptical of the small red yolk but it is growing on me and I love the new collar.

    Great stuff.

    EDIT: I love the clash. Very tempted to buy both jumpers next year.

    I like everything about both jumpers except for the collar.

    Great work integrating the MCC as well as having a reminder of our past glory on it.

    Can't wait to see another couple of stars added!

  • Quote

    Love it! Going to be the first jumper I'll be buying since 1997 (my current Melbourne jumper has gone from red to pink...)

    I guarantee we will be the first club to bring the collar back. You watch it come back over the years now. About time we set a trend.

    Personally, I like this collar, but I really liked the neck on the 2010 jumper.

    Can't please everybody.

    Yeah, collar is good. Hate the Collingwood style collar

    I like the circle of yellow stars. Great idea. Ii wonder if it is also part of our push into China. Looks a bit like the Chinese flag.... Intentional, Cam?

  • Quote

    I think the stars are quite similar to what I've seen used on some soccer guernseys.

    Can't remember where but I do recall seeing it in places before.

    Either way, this symbolism is brilliant.

    It lends the whole concept integrity and something to stand for beyond just "it's always been like that."

  • Quote

    Well done, MFC! Love it all. Well done Schwabbie & crew! (But not sure about that effort of a beard, Cam! LOL)

    Awesome jumper, I think the clash strip is a good result to. Hopefully they actually have a proper long sleeve jumper with the red cuffs to, instead of those crappy 3/4 sleeve that they have had for a while.

    Red cuffs? No thanks.

    Yuck.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
