Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere. If so, I apologise. I picked up my membership scarf on Saturday and was surprised to see the colours. A Brisbane supporter, who was an "old" Fitzroy" member, commented to me that it reminded him of the old Fitzroy jumper colours. The more I looked at it, the more I thought the same. It's nice to have the membership scarf, but I think I will revert to my old stock, standard, Demons red and blue scarf for future games. As for the horns??????????............ the grand kids like 'em at least.

    Yeah, I always trust the memory over 16 years of a supporter of an extinct club...

    Not sure I get your point. Anyway, his memorabilia collection, which goes well beyond 16 years ago, is something he treasures at least. Sorry if I bored you.

    Maybe the colours have faded.

    Frankly, the scarves are acryllic and rubbish but a point of pride for the sake of being a member, I really don't see the issue of the colour and I couldn't care less.

    That is just my opinion, I can understand fans wanting better quality scarves for their money, but I wonder whether they think the club could spend that money more wisely.

    My only point relates to the colours. I couldn't give a fig, re quality. To me, they simply weren't MFC colours. What purports to be Red, is Maroon.

    Fwiw, I think it's a nice blood red. Keeps you warm. And if the jam spills after a game - no one notices !

    I think the red is better than in the recent past.

    I don't believe the red we used to have was the fluro red that Essendon plays with.

    Ours was blood red, with a blue slightly less severe than Black (to steal a Flanagan line).

    The blue isn't great but Chinese factories aren't where they used to be...

    My thoughts exactly, Iv'a, when I picked up the scarf at the Hawks match. It is very 'FITZROY' of old. I think it is because the red thread has been knitted in with the blue in production, thereby giving it the moroon touch. Have a closer look you people who thought I'va was dreaming. I too prefer not only the colours of previous scarves but also the design(s)

    I think the new design looks good. I liked the fact that it was a different design because now I have a scarf that looks a bit different than the other 20 in the cupboard.

    I don't mind the new scarves, and figured the change in colour was along the lines of the jumper changes.

    They look good, and I don't have any prob with them, whether they appear to slightly maroon or not.

    They do look like Fitzroy colours I was thinking the same thing three weeks ago.

    Last two weeks have been using 2010 version it is much better

    Let it slide because did not want to be seen bagging the MFC.

    However it is nothing like the jumpers or the other merchandise on sale.

    Get the feeling this is the one area the MFC cannot get control of i.e. our red Colour.

    Seems to vary constantly garment to garment and year to year!

    You may not remember 16 years ago but I and a lot of Fitzroy members do?

    Also how come there is never a variation in the Essendon or Sydney red?

    prefer previous years, the colours and quality are lacking IMO but at the end of the day it doesnt phase me

    got my new gurnsey and reckon it looks more maroon than the one the lads wear on game day (maybe its the TV contrast?), but again im not overly fussed

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
