White is for the umpires - shove them back in it.

A century ago our players wore 95% navy with a red collar & front trim. That & the reverse are perfect non-clash options.

The AFL are keen to get us up & running in 2014.

Allowing us to scrap the white & a yes to the red/navy trim could happen whilst they are nuturing us.

REB & NAVY ONLY!!!!!

TU Clashes often dont really exist. but to think that Messendon remove theres by that ridiculous grey is just as.

My point which , I note you waft over, again, is that the effort s they make are not congruent to those we are made to do.

We are to wear white,...they fudge a grey.. Its a Joke. The rules even more

No, actually I've covered that point.

Grey is considered a light colour by the AFL. They want clubs to have light and dark options. Essendon's home jumper is dark, obviously, so they use a grey alternative as their light.

Melbourne's home jumper is dark, so we need a light jumper. We chose white. We once chose a non-white option, remember the silver abomination from a few years back? No one liked it.

I'm sure we'd all like it if we could wear the home jumper every week. But we can't. Last week's Port-Carlton game involved a clash of jumpers and the outcry was notable. The AFL wants to avoid clashes. By asking each club to have a light and grey jumper, they avoid clashes. Essendon has grey, we have white, but the outcome is the same - both are light jumpers to provide alternatives to the dark home jumpers.

This sums everything up perfectly.

And yesterday, both Carlton and Richmond got away with wearing their dark strips! Carlton had the white shorts, so were presumably the "away" team. Where was their white jumper??

The AFL is a joke...!!

If you truly wants what is best for your wife surely you need to convert her to the Melbourne Football Club.

Also think of your children, half Demon and half Hawk \, this combination could produce little Messendon or Collingwood supporters and nobody would want to see that!

But back to topic, the MFC is now Blue, Red and White? Serious a white jumper IMO is a joke, The MFC should only use its team colours and only when it needs to just change the tone to a lighter colour or switch from mainly red to mainly blue as needed.

It is my understanding the Away Jumpers are really a marketing / sales thing anyway, So maybe we just need a jumper with Roos face on it. I just get the feeling they would sell in large numbers and may help to pay his salary LOL

Hey Big Frog give me a break. How do you think I go trying to convince the family to follow the Dees these days when the Hawks just keep on playing finals? Short answer no frigging hope and unfortunately this is being replicated in many households and will bury the club if we don't turn it around ASAP.

Yellow tends not to clash with navy blue.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
