The Clash Strip That Wasn't

Bh the prospect of the Dees playing in a GF seems like a decade away.

To get the Dees into a GF I would be happy with pink and purple polka dots.

Seriously For a GF appearance and win I would be very happy with that strip.

What they wear means very little to me in these times.

I would just love a side with the ability to make one no matter what they wear.

Fair enough.

Our colours and iconic jumper still mean much to me and I suspect they always will.

    Must agree BH.

    Seeing the demons run around the MCG in a red white & Blue jumper makes me angry. Very angry.

    Gee wyl why waste your anger on the clash strip.

    It is at the bottom of my Anger list

    Unlike some of previous examples this one is reasonable.

    Because they represent the colours of my club. Not Footscray.

    Good thought we should amalgamate with the Dogs

    The result might give us a chance at scrapping into eighth place!

    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 passed it to him.

    Any clash should be eliminated where possible. The solution yesterday would have been for us to wear our traditional jumper and the Saints to wear their clash strip, doesn't matter whose home game it was, that was the solution, the AFL failed.

    Spot on. I turned on the TV and couldn't believe my eyes. It was hard to follow and one goal came from it without doubt. McDonald crossed goal clearly thinking it was only Dees in sight.

    This ranked up there with the Umpire outfit debacle.

    The strips are too close but both teams normal jumpers dont clash at all.

    Am sure I saw a Melbourne player look to handball to a St Kilda trainer who was in white in the first quarter.

    If we have to wear white, then the opposition trainers should not be allowed to wear white.

    There are two issues. Firstly the thread is about the illogical point of wearing a clash strip even though it clashed with the opposition and our normal jumper wouldn't have; so even if you like the clash strip it was nonsensical; and secondly, I would hate my club to wear anything other than our iconic jumper on GF day. Unfortunately there are no guarantees this would be the case.

    But the first point is the point of this thread.

    Hate the white, we are red and blue, when I started following as a kid we wore royal blue with the red yoke, this does not clash with essendon, carlton, richmond, meth coast home, port or saints as sides wearing dark strips.

    If anyone at the club is reading please can our alternate strip be Royal blue jumper with red yoke, white shorts & red socks

    For all other games back to our traditional navy blue & red

    It may make visual sense , but for those of us who survived the hideous '70's , the Royal Blue "colour tv " jumper makes us shudder !

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
