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.

You're looking at it wrong. It's not a blue, red and white jumper; it's blue and red on a white background. White isn't the paint, it's the canvas.

That's what I'm telling myself anyway

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
