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"?

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.

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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
