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 ?

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.

Plenty of Dees in the west. Whole family of Dees from Altona.


Hated Schwab's collars from day one. Good bloody riddance.

Hate Schwab's emblem as well, but if it stays it stays.

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

Keep the Faith brother.

Altona north, or South Yarraville as I like to refer to it as :)

The suburbs tend to melt into each other as you pass down Melbourne/Williamstown Road don't they? :D

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.

Is the land west of that Maribyrnong creek actually inhabited?

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

I believe Romsey and Macedon is where the Marybyrnong River starts doesn't it Bitty?

Your point being?

I guess my next question would be: is it to the west of the Marybyrnong river? if so, there is the answer to your question.

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.

  • 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.
