You missed the point of the thread TA I'll repeat it for you. Against the Aints, our REGULAR jumper would have been LESS a clash than our CLASH strip i.e. NO need for a clash strip in this game In

It's simple, there was a clash yesterday. Both teams have a clash strip, just so happens that ours clashes with their original strip. At least one occasion Blease mistook a saint for one of ours and p

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?

Agree. Clash strip today was stupid.

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

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

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?

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.

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!

Reverse it or royal blue it.... Simple footy really...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
