Maybe we should get him at pick 57 ?

no but close. Yville

I am curious how many fellow Demons live in the western suburbs. I tend to see more Geelong supporters out this neck of the woods than Dees which is sad.

I have recently spent a considerable sum for a jumper with my name, in very small print but centrally placed, upon it. It has a collar and stars as has the insurance company version and the one with the [censored] energy saving sponsor on the back. Badge of honour or clear indication of personal stupidity and/or club turmoil.

As a nine year old I sat at the front of the second level of the Lady's Stand and watched our last premiership. In 87 my brother and I sang the club song from early in the last quarter as we demolished North and South and then sat distraught at Waverly in the fickle hot north wind as the Hawthorn thugs stole their victory.

I still have a jumper from my childhood. It is wool and has many holes around the seams and the blue is dark and the red is deep. It is not Fitzroy maroon lite it is deep blood red.

Let it be so.

Well that's great, but the colour is integral to the medium, so unless you want us running out in a woollen jumper again, it'll be very difficult, if not impossible, to match that red.

I am in the North West CBF and am surrounded by Bombers including my own daughter.

As everywhere lots of Pies here too

Is the land west of that Maribyrnong creek actually inhabited?

What by humans ?

I don't care too much for the collar and stars, I'm not a fan per say but I'd much rather see the putrid away jumper gone and redesigned.

While we are hitting all the touchstones while in the sandpit - what design would you like for the away jumper?

Anything would be better than a cheap Sydney Swans rip off.

Ideally I would love to see the white completely gone (exc. the traditional white shorts). My personal choice would be the old royal blue and bright red, or alternatively those colours inverted with a blue neck/ chest and red body. I'm also a fan of the old clash jumpers we used a few years ago from 2004 - 2007, and 2009.

Although with the way things have gone it appears white (or grey in Essendon's case) is a must.

So in that case I would hope the club can re-introduce a Demon of some form and place it on a white jumper in a similar fashion to Hawthorn's 2011 clash jumper (which didn't look too bad). It would look far better than the garbage they wear now.

What would be your choices if a change was to be made rpfc?

On an off note I still find it ridiculous that Essendon have been allowed to use the grey and not white. Anyone suffering from protanopia or deuteranopia (2 forms of colour blindness and one of the key reasons clubs have been ordered to convert to white) would struggle to distinguish between Richmond and Essendon players, the black vs. grey respectively being the only variant as red would look yellow or mustard to anyone suffering from one of the conditions. That club could get away with murder if they tried.

When I have time I'll photoshop what our jumper would look like to anyone suffering from one of the three conditions of colourblindness, off the top of my head the only real clash would be with the WCE.

I don't care. I'm sorry. I don't.

Every clash strip is going to offend someone - the perfect clash strip is an oxymoron.

Why did you ask in the first place? That doesn't make sense mate.

But fair enough, and yes it will always offend someone. Although it should at least predominantly feature in club colours or represent the brand (e.g. A demon). The current one has/ does neither.

I could picture a trident on a jumper but a cartoon Demon, I don't think so.

Personally I actually don't mind the clash jumper. If they allowed us to wear blue shorts with it then it would look much better. However, if they did permit us to use red as the primary colour, then I think something like this would look decent. I really like the MFC crest. Should be utilised more often.

If that was our clash jumper the demon shop would sell out in minutes !!! I love it.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
