And imagine what the founders of the club would think, with us playing in that white thing...

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.


no need to - look them up on footyjumpers.com.au

LOL Internet searching you got to love it!

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.


You live on a different plane...

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.

i agree, except i wish channel 7 DID broadcast in HD! :ph34r:

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...

1862 Geelong:

Should we really be wearing it?


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.

I like Port adelaides first three attempts - see no.3 - LOL

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.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
