I know your being sarcastic but if you you knew the price of property in the inner west you probably wouldn't joke.

when you say dees from altona,druggies is the first thing that comes to mind

From someone who has lived in the eastern and western suburbs and the Victorian countryside, to be quite honest, I prefer the western suburbs by a bloody mile.

People here are more down to earth, there is more of a cultural mix rather than doughy fat white people ridden with middle class angst and it will take you 20-30 minutes tops by public transport or car to get into the CBD. When I was living in Ringwood, it actually took longer to get from Ringwood station to Flinders Street than it did from bloody Geelong.

The yolk on the jumper looks less pointy as compared to last year.

[monoccular 17,577]

They need to get a decent friggin collar - like this

Edit; and no it's not WYL, it's some old geezer

He could have some potential.....if he was coached well. May even make an A grader.

Pity help if he had arrived in the last few years though

[monoccular 17,577]

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

FCS - the same as the home one, just like Essendrug and the Filth do.

[Canberra Demon 159]

This is sort of on the topic.

I have been chasing up a Royal Blue and red jumper. I had one when i was growing up but i outgrew it and i have lost it somewhere in my many moves.

does anyone know of anybody that sells a jumper of this type?

Well as you are probably well aware mono don't hold your breath.

Get happy quickly with the white one.

No power means no choice.

[rpfc 28,781]

I hate the Royal Blue jumper.

Can someone pass me that bucket - I want to make a sand castle.

[armstrong35 262]

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 am from Deer Park and so is my whole family who are also all Melbourne supporters. Have also converted 5 friends to Melbourne that also live in the west.

[13thFlagIsComing 542]

I know plenty of Demons fans in East Keilor (about 10 minutes from Windy Hell in the heart of Bomber territory), a few in Sydenham, one in Taylors Lakes, one in Gisbone and an entire family from Melton.

When the good times roll you'll see a fair few more westies jumping on board the Demons i can promise you that!

[Bobby McKenzie 2,387]

can we please make the Guernsey 5 sizes too small for the players so they are hard to grab??

Good move. I remember way back playing against Scotch College. Their red jumpers were skin tight and impossible to grab. What about plenty of oil on the arms as well? Make us as slippery as eels. What was wrong with the stars? I thought they were meaningful symbols of our illustrious past.

I grew up in Romsey and i know there are a lot of Melbourne supporters there but i spent a few years in Ascot Vale and it was always interesting to see other melbourne supporters out and about in that area.

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

Get rid of the collar.

Get rid of the stars.

Keep the emblem, but place it on the lower front, right or left, of the jumper.

The clash jumper we have now is an absolute cracker and the best of any team in the AFL except Freo.

Surely MFC know you can actually employ colour consultants (sounds like a [censored] of a job but these people really do exist) to match a blood red with navy blue that won't look pink-ish on the whote clash strip?

[Machsy 2,858]

Ask any printer - red is the most difficult colour to get right.

And the medium it is being applied to drastically affects its appearance.

Then you have the issue of how it looks to the human eye in person at the venue, as opposed to how the colour looks when picked up by cameras on TV.

So many nuances that the common supporter knows nothing about...

All you say is correct

But why was it so hard for us when the Red in the Bombers and Sydney has never looked pink or Maroon in real life, on TV, day or night?

We were just poor in the Jumper Red and numerous other areas.

While I appreciate your condescension, i think you'll find it's not THAT hard to get it how you want it.

There's plenty of options of pantone colour guides, test prints, or even using previous ink combinations.

You don't just order thousands of them after looking at it on a computer screen... But the "common supporter" probably wouldn't think of that.

That may be so, but Sydney, Adelaide, the Bulldogs, Essendon and St Kilda all seem to have no problems with their reds.

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 389]

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 you look closely at the picture in the link below, you'll see the MFC crest is on the front of the jumper. I agree it looks good, but only on the red background, if it was on white it would look too much like carlton.

That's this year's jumper with the AHG logo superimposed on to it.

[obbafan 128]

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.

Don't think so. Synthetic fibre allows and almost infinite range of colours as they are printed on the surface. Agree that the old colour was significantly dependent upon the material.

you can't judge living in the eastern suburbs by Ringwood. Box hill, Waverley, Noble Park, Dandenong not multi cultural enough for you?

I lived in the east,the north, the north east and the west. The west had the worst air quality, the worst public transport, the least trees and parks and the least soul

the north has the most soul and is the most multicultural, but the north east and eastern suburbs the best parks, open spaces and air quality.

at my work we used to trace the big brown cloud that started at Williamstown and went west.

my mate and his brother both bought houses for $560k years ago: one in burwood overlooking a park with an old oak out front; the other in Spotswood overlooking a refinery, stacks of shipping containers and a power station...

each to their own but proximity to the city isn't everything.
