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.

will be totally list on some though.

    Yeah, I agree.

    The home jumper is sacrosanct and not to be tinkered with, especially with the way they made it.

    Being inventive with your away strip is completely different than abandoning your home strip that the past identify with (FFC supporters) and the present are very proud of (Lions fans who saw 01, 02, and 03).

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

    From the www.afl.com.au article:

    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.

    Glad the Lions supporters have voted down the Paddle Pop jumper.

    If you miss it i am sure we can find one on ebay for you.

    They will be cheap.

    Very, very different situations.

    With the Fitzroy-Brisbane merge, and the heritage that was lost, there was extreme significance in the design of the lion, which was lost when the board made that change.

    It seems like that heritage all they have and they are desperately clinging onto it in the absence of being competitive.

    It really was a small change to update the Lion's face and make it more engaging.

    Perhaps it could have been done better than the cartoon effort they created.

    I really think people need to consider that while they are stuck in the past and it suits them, it's not necessarily better for the club in their efforts to attract new members who have no existing strong relationship with aspects of the past.

    I'm sure if they were still kicking, there'd be some who would be lamenting our red & blue home strip, having abondoned our heritage as the invincible whites.

    you do realise that was briefly in the 1860s?

    shortly after australia was new holland and tasmania was van diemans land

    bringing up such ancient history is not too relevant to modern times

    I think the original tinkering of their jumper is the 'fiddling while Rome burns,' not this rejection by the members.

    The jumper looks terrible and why you would change the strip so soon after The Threepeat I will never know.

    History is not black and white and it can serve many different arguments. Our link to the red and the blue is long and profound, but it doesn't mean white means nothing to us, our club was 70 years old before we were called The Demons but it something that is a vital appendage of the club.

    The Lions club admin screwed up the jumper, the members have rejected it and have demanded a return to the old one - and that's the end of it.

    Now they can get back to figuring out why their young players are now in the four corners of the country and not in Brisbane.

    I do know all of that.

    But it's picking and choosing in my opinion.

    the Paddle Pop lion was more than a small change.

    It was the deleting of anything Fitzroy that was left.

    But keep digging...

    You're right about it not being a small change but let's not overstate the 'deleting of anything Fitzroy had left' - they were the Fitzroy Lions after all...

    the Paddle Pop logo had nothing to do with the Fitzroy Lions.

    The 3peat Lion pays respect at least.

    WYL, you could trademark taking a discussion and turning it into an absolute farce with your illogical and ignorant claims.

    It's embarrassing to be involved in any discussion with you, so I'm going to stop right... here.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
