I don't care what design our jumper takes with the following riders:

  • It is only two colours (Red & Blue)
  • the 'away' jumper is identical to the 'home' jumper

Collingwood always gets away with not having an 'away' jumper and there are no other Clubs in the 18-team competition who have the same two (red & blue) colour scheme as ours. Add to the fact that we wear different colour shorts to the opposition and red socks there is no way that we could possibly be mistaken if we took a hard line on this. Under the current situation, when we play St. Kilda or Freo, sometimes it is near impossible to distinguish and our 'away' jumper exacerbates the situation.

Thanks for providing me with a far sharper term than 'fluorescent red-orange', daisycutter! Keep your eye on the vermillion and the blue. Go Demons.

Do my eyes deceive me or is that colour really red?

Is it his fault the only word your dumb arse knows is "red"?

Red, R E D. Not pink, not orange, not vermillion. RED.

What colour?

lol

It has been my experience over the last 5 years on Land that 'RED' is in the eye of the beholder...

Well .. what can be said. If you truly believe that the MFC has worn RED in the last five years then there is no helping you.

Taking a leaf out of the Collingwood book, we can make the gracious concession of describing the away jumper as Blue and Red.

Why is the word "see" implied?

And are arguments always ended when all caps and two explanation marks come into play?

Did you know that pink is the result of mixing red and white together? Ipso facto dark pink is a modified red.

cant understand why we cant wear the 80's style red and royal blue with white shorts, even go back to the red jumper with blue lining from a few years back, anything is better than watching them get around in all white, barely feels like your watching ur team when in white!!

Especially when St Kilda, Freo etc also start or revert to mostly white. If our shorts get muddy, we become undistinguishable.

IMHO it was not as bad as the pink one.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I was thinking of aurora Stadium when we play the Hawks as an away game.

actually...and find it tearing to write this.. the filth sort of do have an away. Home is white stripes on black..Away is black stripes on white. It does actually make a bit of difference. I appreciate it just about borders on semantics but they have actually found a way.

Maybe we can simply do similar. Make away jumper to have red back.. follows the back of yoke to hem.

probably far too simple

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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
