I knew you would get there eventually...

It was like herding a cat.

He finally got there!

He will never understand the blatant hypocrisy and inconsistency of his words, though...

Much to my amusement.

what. That i don't like the white jumper?

Where is the inconsistency?

A badge is not an entire jumper glady.

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

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?

hawthorn looking good next year!!!

Pick & choose, pick & choose!

You're funny.

Glad you think so.

My position hasn't changed on the jumper at all.

Red & Blue with white numbers is fine by me.

The alternative is too close to a Swans jumper or bulldogs for me.

I have no problem with an MCC Logo. I am a member of both.


I like the tight fit of the new jumper, looks simpler from the front. IMO the collar always looked silly, as did the stars.

I dont mind the collar.

But then again I still think they should bring back the strap .

so WTF would i know.

And apparently you're glady. lol.

Like the new jumper with the MCC on back.

 
EDIT: Interesting that Garland mentions the players wanted a flat neckline, the collar wasn't all that popular with the players?

They already had enough on their shoulders..

Any news on the clash jumper?

Any amendments?

I actually quite like our clash jumper of 2011-2013, best we've had so far. More than happy to wear it next year against St Kilda, Carlton, Adelaide, Essendon, Bulldogs, Port and West Coast.

Really don't know why we would need to wear a clash jumper against St Kilda, Adelaide, dogs, port and west coast

If someone cant tell them apart they gotta much bigger problem then just watching footy.

Yeah, but they should be allowed to watch the footy too.

I find it amusing that some people apparently can't see why we'd need a clash jumper against St Kilda, Adelaide, Bulldogs or Port.

Being a forward-thinking club with a distinctly-different and aesthetically-pleasing clash jumper is something supporters should be proud of, rather than being a stick in the mud club, and/or waiting for the AFL to force the issue, or waiting until other clubs do it successfully before following suit.

Because Adelaide, St Kilda and Port wear dark colours. Melbourne wear dark colours. Thus the clash.

Bulldogs is a clash as both clubs wear red and blue. Although I do concede neither team had to wear the clash jumper last year in both meetings.

I'll give you West Coast. No real clash there. West Coast have never worn a clash jumper when they play us in Melbourne. Conversly, Melbourne always wears a clash jumper at Subi.

Agreed.

People who oppose clash jumpers are stuck in the 1940's.

Professional leagues in the USA and the UK are massive on clash jumpers.

I'm quite happy to wear the clash jumper in all games except for North, Geelong and Collingwood where our clash jumper would actually clash with their jumpers.

Stand strong OD.

We all understand the reasons for a clash jumper, but let the other Clubs change their jumpers. AS we should keep ours, because only Red and Blue will do.

i don't understand this term "dark" It is far too vague

For example Richmond is predominately black (ie dark) and Melbourne predominately navy blue (ie dark) yet there is no clash

i found last year that our clash jumper (predominately light) was a worse clash with the St.Kilda jumper than our home jumper

I SURRENDER

I think this is biggest problem for supporters in the design of a clash jumper.

The prevailing thought that if we change our jumper colours somewhat to avoid a clash that we are somehow "surrendering" to the AFL and other clubs, and that we are showing integral weakness in doing so.

I think this is a very narrow minded and incorrect way of viewing the issue.

I agree. Worrying about the jumper is what Schwab used to do instead of focusing on the main game.

We can wear any color as far as I'm concerned, I just want to see us competitive and look forward to the footy again.


The Brisbane supporters voted to ditch the "paddle pop lion" tonight.

From the www.afl.com.au article:

A number of Lions supporter groups campaigned strongly in recent months to bring back the old jumper.

"The jumper is so important to the identity, culture and heritage of a football club," Adam Staines, a spokesman for The Lion's Roar, said earlier this year.

Another example of a supporter base from a poorly performing club that just doesn't get it.

This guy sounds like WYL.

Does anyone think Hawthorn supporters really cared when their players were running out in various horrendous strips in recent times?

The white jumper? The horrible camouflage jumper?

No one cares because they have been winning.

At the end of the day, it's just another thing for malcontent supporters to whinge about because things aren't going right.

I have to agree re the Saints game - terrible clash of the clash jumper. Shocking thought process.

I'm with the Brisbane supporters on this one. They took a classy and meaningful jumper and changed it into a cluttered cartoon mess.

The difference between this and having a white jumper is the club changed it off their own bat, not because of AFL imposed colour restrictions.

I don't understand how Schwab gets involved in this equation. I would have thought it was within the CEO's area of responsibility to be in control of issues such as the guernsey etc and the football department is responsible for the way the team plays.

PJ is now the CEO and therefore the jumper is an issue that comes under his watch and what happened in the past with silver jumpers, those silly cartoon jumpers etc is all a matter of the past.

Hopefully, when the team steps out in round 1 it will look good and play well and what past officials may or may not have done is irrelevant except to those who bear deep seated grudges.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
