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...

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
