Can we blame the direct handballs to opponents on this?

Why the White today?

I concur fully DC.

    I would like to have a mainly red strip with a touch of blue.

    We could use it against the Blues, Saints, Pies.

    Would it be too much to have 2 clash strips?

    don't need a clash strip against the aints (nor most so-called mfc clash teams)

    Agree. Clash strip today was stupid.

    I don't know what was wrong with our clash strip of 2004???

    I found it confusing at times today.

    Fail.

    :mellow:

    Another example of the AFL being too smart by half!

    Yep, they have no idea with this clash strip stuff. It really isn't rocket science.

    It's plain stupid that we have white in our clash strip. The sides we clash with also have white so it just makes it worse! Just invert our normal jumper!

    its ludicrous. In the past we had one team with white.... now we have two !! Clever :huh:

    There were a few occasions where our backs kicked directly to an open Saint that can only be attributed to mistaken identity. Yet another uniform stuff-up from the almighty AFL.

    I couldn't believe that we wore a clash strip that clashed.

    I appreciate that we were expected to wear one because it wasn't our home game, but why didn't a Melbourne official say this is ludicrous and that our normal jumper is far more appropriate ? And if they did, why weren't they listened to ?

    I'm hating the AFL more and more every day.

    If any tweaking was needed it was simply to have the Sainters play in normal jum;er with white shorts and Us in normal gear with Blue shorts. Too simple obviously

    Was ridiculous, I struggled, and like the rest of me, my eyes are perfect.

    What's ridiculous is that this is still an issue.

    Get over it, people.

    The AFL says our home guernsey clashes with Essendon, and thus we have to have something to wear against them which will solve the problem. More red does not solve that problem. Hence the white.

    Why? Logic too much too handle?

    In case you didn't notice, we're talking about today V St Kilda, not Essendon.

    Take the above advice.

    According to PeterJames, Tall Defence and UTAH, we'd be better served with red. I was commenting on that.

    I think they do it for marketing opportunities.

    I've always liked the idea of reversing our home strip. Blue V on red, anyone?

    I am still O/S so didn't see the game.

    We wore a clash jumper against St.K again??

    Hahahaha....Why...?

    Points to following people saying we should wear red, slaps forehead, and whispers under his breath...did not miss point, but in fact was totally on topic, given there are still people who don't understand the source of the white.

    • 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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
