I know that many think this topic has been flogged to death..but this clash Jumper situation needs to be fixed. On Saturday we wore a predominantly white jumper. A jumper that looked more like st kilda ..we incorporated a colour that clashed more. I then sit down Sunday to watch the Eagles v Dogs and see that they are wearing all red. The same all red the AFL supposedly banned us from wearing as they deemed it a dark colour. I realise nothing can be done about it this season but we need to get firm on this issue. We are the team of the red and blue..i dont care if its red with blue yoke or blue with red..we are not white and never had been..well apparently once in 1858 according to schwabb ..i want the footy club for once to stand up. A red jumper would eliminate all clashes. Richmond, Footscray, Collingwood, Essendon have all held firm..we should not compromise our brand. Fix it please !

Yes it has.

Lets move on and concentrate on winning games.

Do that and the clash jumper will look great.

I don't really mind the white jumper but how stupid was it to have a clash jumper that clashed? Why wouldn't common sense prevail and we wear our standard jumper which doesn't clash with the saints. Or have two clash jumpers? Id on't mind the red idea but what about our current training jumper which looks great and would have been perfect against the saints. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't EPL teams have more than 1 clash strip?

It shouldn't be too difficult to just reverse our jumper so it is red with navy blue yoke. Would eliminate clashes and preserves our jumper to the greatest extent possible considering a change must be made. The thing that gets me is it's all well and good to not care during the H&A season but if we ever make another GF I want it to be in our traditional navy blue and red yoke not whatever white design they come up with that year.

Thanks for bringing this worthwhile subject up.

That mostly white Clash jumper is an abomination & belongs with the horrid Grey one we produced. The Bin.

It really.... Really Irks me..

Are we Sydney or are we Melbourne?????? Looks alot like a some other team.

Get rid of it ASAP Melbourne Footy Club!!! I cant believe its still used.

The training top would be much more ideal...states MFC on the front and has red & blue....NOT WHITE!

We are not the dogs....we are not Sydney....clean it up MFC for Demons sake!

Peter Jackson...Glenn Bartlett...If your reading please look into this and replace it!

Toumpas kick to Saints player in the open was enough for me..wearing that clash jumper against St Kilda. Why add white to our jumper making us red, navy and white against red, black and white?

I like the reverse idea I think

agree. only saw the last 10 mins but I definitely saw a couple of occasions players kick or handball to a saint - or go to and realise it was a saint not a dee. a mostly red jumper would have solved that.

or, gee, just the one that worked for the last 150 years?

Don't the Western Bulldogs have two strips? Pretty sure they have a red jumper with a blue and white hoop and also a white one with blue and bed hoops

Yup the have the three..

Yeah I meant to say 2 clash strips and obviously the home jumper

Ta, Then why don't we have 2 (or even 3) clash strips? As i said everyone seems to love the new training jumper so why not that one? It is blue with the red MFC insignia. To avoid a clash with say Carlton you could have a second clash strip with red and a blue MFC insignia. Eveyone happy and the club getting some more money from merch. Simples.

Actually chap the training jumper is outselling both other jumpers at the moment, considering one myself

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
