Huh. I hadn't noticed that the other clubs didn't have their emblem on the jumper until just then... Weird

    Clever of the club to have the 'Flash Sale' in the morning to offload some old stock just before announcing this news.

    St Kilda, Brisbane, Suns, Carlton & Meth Coast do. Pies had it in their Flag year of 2010. I don't mind the emblem or the stars but really all I care about is that we always wear red and blue, the home jumper for home games and either a reverse of the home jumper(red with blue yoke) or the old light blue and red of the 70's/early 80's.

    Fookin hate the white jumper and we should not half to wear it but don't get me started on that

    How about an actual demon in our logo?

    "I really liked the Gladiator style the jumper had."

    Yeah, looked like Gladiators, played like Christian Martyrs thrown to wild beasts.

    The stars have the effect of announcing that we have not won a flag for half a century.

    It's a cry of desperation rather than a grand display of triumph.

    I can definitely understand the stars, but I actually liked the collar. I'm glad they've decided to stick with the logo as well, I honestly don't understand the dislike of it, if I had to guess it's that people just can't stand the idea of a Schwab relic being on there. It doesn't have to be on the jumper, but I see no reason to ditch it at all.

    I agree, just take the logo off the jumper. I don't mind the collar, it could just be much smaller than it is now.

    I didn't like the collar because I imagine it wouldn't be all that comfortable to play in--and thus might have had an (albeit minor) effect on the way we play, so I'm glad that's gone.

    A lost subject PSD

    If they start winning the white jumper will look terrific!

    Yep, everyone is playing footy and we are playing dress up in the sandpit and crying...

    A bit like one of those tired, ratty pubs with a huge banner declaring it was 3aw's pub of the year in 1992

    I shudder just that little bit more violently every time I see "Next years guernsey" without the apostrophe.

    I think the presence of the emblem could impact on the value of a major sponsorship.

    Hankook (LD) took serious exception to it decreasing the value of what had already been paid for.

    If this is a furphy, then I agree with your post, except for the stars.

    I saw nothing wrong with them either, or what they represented.

    Actually, thinking about it now, it's like that was for some of the struggling supporters, so they could say to their kids and opposition supporting wags "see? We used to be great! Look at all the stars we've won in the past!"

    That makes no sense whatsoever.

    Gold star for trying though.

    Small minutiae. Hawthorn have the colors of bodily waste. It doesn't stop them from winning.
    However, if you ask me my opinion on the Schwab cosmetic changes (and as a white male in my 30's, I am biologically predisposed to shoving it down all and sundry's throat):
    Get rid of the collar. (See my later comment on the blazers).
    I don't mind the stars so much but don't mind if they go.
    I have seen us with a logo on our jumper pre 2011. We had one in 2004. I don't mind either way.

    Get rid of the bloody blazers. Or if you don't, at least complement them with a straw hat, shorts and knee high socks. If you want the boys to look like private school tossers, you may as well go the whole nine yards.
    The basics of the logo aren't so bad. The problem is it tries to, as CS was wont to, jam as much historical crap into it as possible. When Jimmy was still with us in 2010, he spoke of bringing the Demon back into our logo. Unfortunately, CS, whom like Nosferatu strikes fear into the hearts of all MFC supporters, got his claws into it and the demon was gone. I wouldn't mind us getting a logo that incorporated the old Chinese demon. It's a personal thing and I doubt it would catch on but I would love to see that logo again. It's the first club logo I knew when I started supporting the club.

    • 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.
