On the AFL site they have released all indigenous Jumpers to see.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-05-27/indigenous-round-jumpers

The Demons guernsey really stands out and looks impressive and not overdone as most of us already probably know.

Some absolutely horrendous ones in there though...The GWS looks to have hired a child to do their art to add to the monstrosity of their already already discraceful jumper & GC is just terrible also..the Dogs & Hawks not far behind IMO...Carlton is just poor to say the least and could have done something more inspiring I think.

Crows/Lions look very good and Saints not too bad either along with the Tigers Turtle under sash look.

Well done MFC anyhow.

    Noticed a substantial improvement in EVERY area of our club under PJ. Apparel, social media, design, all have improved as much as the football itself.

    Crows, Kangas, Swans, Freos and ours I like... the award for the worst has to go to the Cats... why couldn't they have done something similar to the Kangas to take the stripes out of the foreground (really really poor effort).

    I also like the fact that the Swans design was done by Goodes' mother; makes it a little more "special" (to paraphrase Bruce McAvaney) I suppose.

    Good god what a dogs breakfast Whorethorn are wearing!!

    I commend them on their consistency!

    My somewhat cynical and and biased thoughts:

    Adelaide: Congratulations your child is ready to graduate from finger painting

    Carlton: token league imposed marketing effort

    Collingwood:as above

    Geelong: a high school kid is bored in class and scribbling over his text book, must of edited out the dicks

    Gold Coast: yes you had a child and subscribed to the gimmick of getting a hand print

    GWS: A worm crawled out of your Apple?

    Hawthorn: On a budget and sewed together previous examples

    North Melbourne: Got a deal on fabric from spotlight and slapped a logo on front

    St Kilda: latest effort from Piping hot, most 10 year olds will be attracted to this

    Port: Inoffensive basketball singlet for away games

    Swans: Tribute to Pacman?

    Eagles: Throwing a net over a fat poorly drawn bird?

    Bulldogs:When every child is given a crayon to contribute to the class poster

    Fremantle, bargain bin at the caravan park kiosk, marketed for Scandanavian backpackers on a budget

    Lions: ruined it with a lion, seriously just ditch the lion for a round. A bit like a bikini model with a full back tattoo, may appeal to a niche, but not necessary

    Richmond, Essendon, Melbourne, like the understated appeal to them, with a nod to some previous efforts by the NZ warriors heritage round styling

    I really like West Coast's!

    Too many have ditched their actual jumper to just chuck on some aboriginal drawings.

    Eagles have kept the Eagle and incorporated the aboriginal side to it. That wins for me.

    Ours is certainly top 3 though. Alot of rubbish in there.

    Not keen on the Eagles' effort... has me wondering if they will be entering the field of play decked out in turquoise jewellery and running through a giant dream catcher.

    Like the Brisbane and Freo jumpers. GC and GWS are terrible. Ours is more subtle, not badly over the top or cheap looking.

    The MFC has always had pretty tasteful "special occasion" jumpers... the St Pat's Day green (I bought Jurrah's at auction), the Field of Women with the pink V and lady print, the Shanghai Showdown with the dragon on the side and players name in Chinese characters (bought Warnock's at auction - see a theme happening here? I better not buy anymore) and now this Indigenous Round jumper. Kudos to our designers.

    Adelaides, brisbanes, essendon, freo, melbournes, ports and richmonds are all pretty good looking jumpers. Carltons and collingwoods are ordinary, and geelongs, gc and GWS are easily the worst in there. The rest don't really stand out or look bad imo

    In no particular order, my favs are Adelaide, Brisbane, Hawthorn, and us.

    One observation is that Hawthorn's is a hell of a lot better than their "traditional" one (not a difficult feat, mind you).

  • Quote

    The Hawks one looks like a slutty dress.

    Brisbane's is my favourite.

    I think Brisbanes is pretty classy & the Crows has a colorful zest to it. We would be top 3 for design without being biased.

    Nth have gone completely overboard inturn making their guernsey look like a curtain from 1971. Errgh..First it was Argentina...now the Curtain..Good one Norf.

    West Coke I'm not sure on...at first I like.... but now I look again & well I dunno...but its better than GWS....looks like a couple of ringworms really..Which will suit Scully nicely.

    Maybe they couldnt afford a better design because of his current pay packet at GWS.

    The dogs is just rubbish seriously..OMG.

    No disrespect to the indigenous here is meant..but some clubs simply have done a half a$$ job to showcase great looking Guernseys & highlight the indigenous round of our game.

    Next we need to get rid of the BS White Jumper if we can IMO. White is not a color of the Demons.. bar the numbers on the back.

    Anyhow it is a great idea to have done this Indigenous round for all clubs & the fans & the people involved.

    I'm looking forward to challenging Port with hopefully JKH on show!

    They look fantastic for the most part and the artists involved should feel very proud. Well done to all the clubs on this one.

    Can we use this thread to vent out frustrations about the Indigenous Round?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
