Still not happy with the Red yolk on our jumpers.

Looks more Pinkish maroon, rather than the real blood red it should be.

Watched the first game(s) up on the Gold Coast and thought they looked perfect in the wet. Then when they ran out against Collingwood last week I thought they looked very pink, but then never noticed it again all night. Last season I noticed the pink the majority of the time. It is a mystery to me what's going on.

Yep, they definately had a pinkish hue against the pies last weekend, as they did last year.. it p!sses me off actually.

I have a theory on this -

I reckon the AFL wants that shade for us, because real blood doesnt show up on blood red or navy blue.. and the blood rule (and the chance of a contagious disease being spread) would be hard to control.

This would give us an advantage if the umps missed sending off our players, via the blood rule, that anyone else would get sent off for.

Probably Essendon and GCS in the same boat.. although, havent seen or heard them complaining about it. (Ess, not as much red as us?? Gcs, red is lighter in colour??)

I reckon the "pink" issue is to do with the contrast used on the TV cameras

I agree that of late our jumpers look a little maroon rather tomato sauce red, but i'm happy with it

When you see the jumpers up close and personal they are fantastic, my theory last year was under lights they turn pinkish, looked similar against the pies last week. I think they seem quite reflective under lights this then makes them look pink on tv especially on night games

It has definitely changed to a more red than pink colour.

Bloody hell! Tappy looks completely different in this years jumper.

Probably the lights?

I was trying to stay off this thread but cannot help myself.

I do not think Essendon have changed there red in my memory.

Why is it that that Sydney and Essendon have reds that do look pink under lights / Tv

and yet our reds do have pink tinges and have for some years.

Why cannot we get the red right?

We are accused of playing bruise free football so I guess the pink suits

But it really gets up my nose.

My father told me a long time ago " son at least look the part"

Why the hell do we constantly have jumpers that look pink and scarves that look Maroon.

Yes wyl I really hate it and from what I have seen i don't think the 2012 version is much better.

I sent it back as you probably know.

Where should we hold the ritual cremation mate?

Outside gate 2 or would the dome be more appropriate we have been burned there fairly often.

Having incinerated it we could spread the ashes through Yarra park.

I am open to suggestions what do you think?

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
