    I don't see why we can't combine our heritage with our clash uniform. The royal blue outfit doesn't clash with anyone except the Dogs, and is an easy fix. Failing that, how about the kit we wore as the Invincible Whites? Sans caps of course. Our current away gear isn't disgusting, but it's pretty much a Sydney guernsey.

    The heritage royal blue guernsey would be a far better option than any clash strip the club have come up with so far.

    I think Jim would be more honoured if we actually wore our real guernsey.

    I agree that our alternate strips have been a disaster, I mean we've had 5 different ones since 2007. Returning to the simple red one with a demon on it would be good, white just isn't Melbourne for me. Although, honestly, I'm not happy with our home strip, which has also changed once every year. I don't like the dark, odd red. It makes our jumper look a bit dull, not to mention the pointless collar.

    We should only wear these jumpers when necessary too, perhaps against ONLY Essendon and Carlton. It's so stupid when we wear that white thing in just any old away game, such as St.Kilda.

    Just wish the afl used common sense at times, royal blue and and red with white shorts would work fine!!! And just because we are the away team doesn't mean we have too wear the alternative, don't understand why we go too Say the gabba to play Brisbane and have to wear the white jumper! It's hard enough to watch the rubbish we dish up every week and then do it in a white top

    If it doesn't change every year, there's no reason to buy a new one.

    I cannot see a reason to buy any of the white ones anyway.

    Struggle to think where you would want to wear it.

    Umm perhaps the toilet on a cold night

    I am sure the manufacture could knock up a second set in green mate.

    They would not have too many orders in the system for Blazers in 2012

    I think the sole reason why we've been so bad since 2007 is because we have to wear an away jumper every fourth or fifth week.

    That must be the reason why we're so bad.............

    I can't think of any other reason.

    Before I get lampooned, I absolutely adore the traditional Melbourne Football guernsey of navy blue and scarlet (not the current crimson with a tinge of pink). It is second to none. However since the alternative strip has been introduced by the AFL for very logical reasons, the MFC has produced some really ordinary outfits. When the navy blue and red or is that pink is mixed with predominately white, it looks insipid and totally unimposing. Hence my suggestion that when the MFC is compelled to wear an alternative strip, lets adopt the green and white strip similar to the commemorative jumper issued earlier in the year by the club. I believe, if adopted it would signify a lasting legacy to Jim Stynes whose feats and contribution to our club should be never forgotten.

    It would be a point of difference for merchanding as no other AFL team has wears green hence no chance of a clash. In America, teams that wear green and white equates to success, namely Green Bay Packers and Boston Celtics. I don't think my suggestion is that radical, teams in others codes wear alternative strips that bear no resemblance to their traditional/home strip but it doesn't seem to cause any confusion or diminish their support.

    I would like the thoughts of the forum, if my suggestion has merit.

    Should have just reversed the red and blue for the clash strip.

    Which jumpers do we actually clash with, really?

    I believe when we play Carlton or Essendon on a gloomy day.

    Still think we should have a red jumper. Basically the same as our white one but with red. Thin little blue v between the two reds. Red under the arms. Would stop us clashing with port, blues, bombers

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
