you misread me

i can see you on a bike (very good for your fitness)

but i can't see you wearing lycra (at least in my mind)

clearer?

Yes but believe me it happens especially the shorts best option available.

Now where do I get the RED and blue ones?

    I like it..................if they were sitting on the interchange bence wearing them to keep warm during a game, then I'd say we've lost the plot, but for special functions etc I reckon it's a great idea.

    I like traditions, and things that remember the past........especially when it comes to footy clubs!

    blue red shorts

    Colours are fine DC but don't think there are MFC logos big enough to cover the "NOR"

    misogynous comment accepted as nothing would happen without her skill in this area.

    Than again a Pies supporter might be tempted to sow them on upside down.

    I like the Idea...But once again these Blazers will only take on true meaning with On Field Victories.

    The Baggy Green became even more revered after '89 Ashes.

    But let us embrace our long History & keep the Future our ongoing goal to be the Best.

    An MFC Blazer could be eagerly sought after very soon.

    Portrays the MFC as something stuck in the past,

    Which in many ways we are .

    Reminds me again that we were once great.

    Before I was born .

    I like it. Don't have to be stuck in the past to appreciate the tradition of the club.

    i dont really care either way. Im sure players hold onto a few of their gurnseys for afetr they retire, now they have another pice of fabric that will gather dust?!

    Cam should focus on getting the FOJ sponsor on board instead of bringing back old traditions for the sake of nostalgia

    Im a bit on fence here, i like like old traditional stuff but at the same time i think it gives a bit of the private school, snow going, rich boy look that we stereo typically get. what are peoples thoughts?

    It's our history, we may as well embrace it, rather than hide it, we sure as hell can't change it.

    This too would bring me more comfort .

    Put all our energy into the next flag , not the last 1 .

    im sure he can too.

    Im just frustrated by all of these puff pieces on the clubs website, like Barrassi's birthday and now this blazer. I'd happily have no preseason activity on the site apart from match reports, injury updates & sponsorship info

    About as good as the grand old flag raising we had last year. This stuff looks just looks plain silly from a club that has not won anything in generations. People don't respect contrived flags and blazers, no one sees this and thinks, 'wow, maybe I have to change my mind about how I think about those guys'. Do a bit of this stuff if we ever get anywhere onfield.

    I got an email from the club today part of which follows.

    As our entire playing and coaching list will be there, it is an important night for the club and we are seeking to get 46 Blazer Sponsors at $750 to assist us in staging the evening. Each Blazer sponsor will receive a unique signed photo of our young captains Jack Grimes & Jack Trengove being presented with their Blazer by Ron Barassi in recognition of your support. You will also be recognised throughout the night on our in room screens.

    Another good idea as I have no doubt the entire 46 will be snapped up.

    This is for the Commencement Dinner 14th March

    Hate it. They are footy players not school boys. Are we still continuing with the flag raising thing this year? That was bad too.

    I'm not happy there's no FOB sponsorship

    I would happily hazard a guess that CS wouldn't have spent too much time worrying about the blazers, and as RPFC alluded to, I'm sure he can multitask a little.

    I absolutely love it, whilst agreeing that it needs to be something which is really kept for special occasions. I can see this being something which two Jacks and a few other boys will cherish at the end of their long and successful careers :) Not only that, it's a one off. All for celebrating our tradition, and couldn't give a brass rahzoo what any other supporter has to say about it.

    I didn't know embracing a traditional blazer meant becoming a Dickens character...

    I like it we are the oldest football club in the world with a proud tradition, lets embrace it while we move forward and create new memorable moments for this great club. Not everyone has Brownlows to look back on and lets face it the jumper changes every year or two, when your old and retired you can show your grandkids your blazer you got for playing with the Dees, can't by them in the shop son

    Think the baggy green is so treasured and revered as it is worn on the field during battle (think of steve waughs soaked in blood sweat, tears and all). The blazer is a good idea in theory but I think the playing jumper(s) is what the players really want and will treasure. I think a normal club suit for functions is just fine and unless were going to wear the blazers on field I don't see a lot of point in them

    Surely we have moved on from the 50's and are a more moden club this this???

    Yes, and while we're at it, let's also do away with the ceremonial aspect associated with the handing on of historically significant numbers such as 11, 31 etc; oh, and let's move to have the Norm Smith medal renamed to something more contemporary. And while we're at it, let's change the club song - it's too old and no longer relevant (actually, truth be known, I would be happy for us to replace the original with the David Bridie version :) )

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
