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.

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.

I don't think mud is allowed on AFL grounds anymore....lol....

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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
