white. The sign of surrender. As i said fo you 3 years ago there is more to the white clash jumpers than just a conflict of colour.

The AFL will always prefer a home team to win. It is far better economics and since the home ground advantage has been mostly curtailed then the white jumpers are the next best thing.

I have more of a problem with the umpires wearing coloured rubbish than any of the original jumpers.

The clash arguement is a beat up.

The wearing of our clash jumper against St. Kilda makes the contest more confusing.

"Oh it was an oversight.." Get real. It is a marketing ploy.

    It's not a colour.

    And it is the colour of the founding of this game and your club.

    Yes i know white is not a colour. It is a shade.

    Still the sign of surrender....

    Yeah, white being "the sign of surrender" has worked out so poorly in Sydney in recent years...

    OMG, Geelong has white on its jumper too!

    And Collingwood! And North!

    How have these teams done so well in the last 2 decades, against such a powerful force as having white on the jumper?!

    Seriously WYL, how do you not see the idiocy of such statements..?

    you like the white jumper. To me it is a diluted nothing. During the 70's i had trouble watching the royal blue concoction.

    In 1987 the red and dark blue jumper returned.

    I bought a membership before the round one game started.

    Each to their own Machsy.

    The shade of white is not part of a Demon Jumper in my house.

    You live in a different place.

    To you?

    Is there a law to say i must embrace the clash strips?

    I don't like any of them. Cheapens the game in my eyes. How anyone cannot decipher each club jumper on an HD TV is beyond me.

    Yes, well you can blame the 1.3Bill deal for that!

    But even a modern SD picture is sharp enough.

    Geelong had first dibs on red and blue though...

    It's about light and dark jumpers, that's the policy the AFL and all teams adhere to it (even Collingwood and Essendon).

    Because we all watch the footy on black and white TVs. There was a Port Adelaide game (I think) last season where there was a real problem but otherwise this whole thing is ridiculous. Primary colours can be retained almost always. The white is insipid. I watched many Demons Fitzroy games live without any confusion. The EPL teams change their tops each year for marketing and therefore sales but there are genuine clashes. When I watch our team in the white top most often I cannot see why.

    At first glance - lol.

    At second glance - judos to 1870s Adelaidians (I don't know what they are called) for being so vivid and experimental.

    Why don't we wear a pink away jumper next year and then when we come out still soft as butter under the sun we can blame it on that?

    The Doggies have a red clash along with their white clash. Surely that has opened the door for a red clash strip for us? (Along with the white one)

    yes. it's been suggested before that we could have 2 clash jumpers which would at least reduce the number of times we are forced to wear the yukky white

    i think the club could consider this. the cost is negligible esp as they often wear one-off specials anyway.

    it would also give them an extra merchandising option which i think would be attractive to many

    Exactly. Have the white jumper as a decoy to please the AFL, then don't wear it. I think the Dogs only wore their white one once this year so it's not like there's a minimum of times you have to wear a jumper. Hawthorn wore there white one once too I think. The Dogs wore their red against the Eagles and I doubt the AFL complained of a dark on dark clash.

    Home guernsey: 16 times (5 with away shorts V Hawthorn, Bulldogs, NM, Richmond, GWS)

    Red guernsey: 6 times (V St.Kilda, Carlton, Adelaide, Essendon, Port Adelaide, West Coast)

    White guernsey: Preseason guernsey, toilet paper, sanitary napkin, sun shield on a car, scrap material for arts and crafts, fuel for a campfire

    Simple.

    It's the 'red and the blue' - I don't like the all red thing we had a few years ago - it's not our jumper.

    If it's all red, it may as well be white.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
