dobsons. I used to run up stairs as a kid to watch the trains. Now I've gone and given my game away. I'm no reformed and living in the west.

Newport?

Hmm looks like he could play midfield

Maybe we should get him at pick 57 ?

no but close. Yville

I am curious how many fellow Demons live in the western suburbs. I tend to see more Geelong supporters out this neck of the woods than Dees which is sad.

I have recently spent a considerable sum for a jumper with my name, in very small print but centrally placed, upon it. It has a collar and stars as has the insurance company version and the one with the [censored] energy saving sponsor on the back. Badge of honour or clear indication of personal stupidity and/or club turmoil.

As a nine year old I sat at the front of the second level of the Lady's Stand and watched our last premiership. In 87 my brother and I sang the club song from early in the last quarter as we demolished North and South and then sat distraught at Waverly in the fickle hot north wind as the Hawthorn thugs stole their victory.

I still have a jumper from my childhood. It is wool and has many holes around the seams and the blue is dark and the red is deep. It is not Fitzroy maroon lite it is deep blood red.

Let it be so.

Well that's great, but the colour is integral to the medium, so unless you want us running out in a woollen jumper again, it'll be very difficult, if not impossible, to match that red.

I am in the North West CBF and am surrounded by Bombers including my own daughter.

As everywhere lots of Pies here too

Is the land west of that Maribyrnong creek actually inhabited?

What by humans ?

I don't care too much for the collar and stars, I'm not a fan per say but I'd much rather see the putrid away jumper gone and redesigned.

While we are hitting all the touchstones while in the sandpit - what design would you like for the away jumper?

Anything would be better than a cheap Sydney Swans rip off.

Ideally I would love to see the white completely gone (exc. the traditional white shorts). My personal choice would be the old royal blue and bright red, or alternatively those colours inverted with a blue neck/ chest and red body. I'm also a fan of the old clash jumpers we used a few years ago from 2004 - 2007, and 2009.

Although with the way things have gone it appears white (or grey in Essendon's case) is a must.

So in that case I would hope the club can re-introduce a Demon of some form and place it on a white jumper in a similar fashion to Hawthorn's 2011 clash jumper (which didn't look too bad). It would look far better than the garbage they wear now.

What would be your choices if a change was to be made rpfc?

On an off note I still find it ridiculous that Essendon have been allowed to use the grey and not white. Anyone suffering from protanopia or deuteranopia (2 forms of colour blindness and one of the key reasons clubs have been ordered to convert to white) would struggle to distinguish between Richmond and Essendon players, the black vs. grey respectively being the only variant as red would look yellow or mustard to anyone suffering from one of the conditions. That club could get away with murder if they tried.

When I have time I'll photoshop what our jumper would look like to anyone suffering from one of the three conditions of colourblindness, off the top of my head the only real clash would be with the WCE.

I don't care. I'm sorry. I don't.

Every clash strip is going to offend someone - the perfect clash strip is an oxymoron.

Why did you ask in the first place? That doesn't make sense mate.

But fair enough, and yes it will always offend someone. Although it should at least predominantly feature in club colours or represent the brand (e.g. A demon). The current one has/ does neither.

I could picture a trident on a jumper but a cartoon Demon, I don't think so.

Personally I actually don't mind the clash jumper. If they allowed us to wear blue shorts with it then it would look much better. However, if they did permit us to use red as the primary colour, then I think something like this would look decent. I really like the MFC crest. Should be utilised more often.

If that was our clash jumper the demon shop would sell out in minutes !!! I love it.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
