Recommended Posts

I still would have kept the red V on the jumper and simply added the MFC monogram. I cannot fathom why were didnt wear the red jumper vs freo? Anyone else? They are all dark purple. No clash

nobody can fathom the afl's clash strip policies

This must be the most boring subject on Demonland pages are spent every year discussing a subject that won't change.

The AFL want predominately white strip.

End of story.

The best we can do is get the best predominately white strip and get on with winning games.

End of rant.

I don't expect us to wear the red in any game this year. Seems like its just money maker. If you can't wear it against one of the darkest team in the comp you got no chance.

Really don't get how you don't understand the AFL stance on this pretty simple

  • Meth Coast have a white alternate jumper, so against us at the G last year they wore their blue alternate against us to avoid a clash
  • We were told we could not wear red for the last few years because it is a dark jumper
  • Fremantle have purple which is deemed a dark jumper
  • We play Fremantle in Perth and can't wear red because it is dark
  • We play Meth Coast in Perth we can't wear red because it is dark and would clearly clash with the blue and gold of the Meth Coast jumper
  • Gold Coast have white as an alternative, so when Gold Coast play against Freo or Meth Coast in Perth they naturally are allowed to wear their home jumper (red) with red shorts and socks because for some reason their red is not dark
  • Carlton play Freo in Perth and have to change to white because obviously navy blue is a dark colour
  • Essendon play Freo in Perth and don't change their jumper, not sure what the reason is eg is their red not dark or in their wisdom have the AFL deemed the Essendon black is not really dark
  • And then we have the laughable situation last season in the elimination final with Port vs Richmond when the home side had to change because the Tigers alternative was to close to the Port home jumper

There you go AFL logic with clash jumpers in all their wisdom

The thing is that AFL don't have to use logic PSD because they are the AFL

the afl (that is the management group) is fast losing credibility in many areas including transparency and governance

od is right, logic is something for the afl to only consider when it suits them (usually when it is profitable)

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH MY EYEBALLS!

I am still mystified as to why people have a problem with the Collingwood alternate jumper. It is primarily white, while the main jumper is primarily black. Where is the problem...???

Now that we have 2 clash jumpers, I reckon we should cease wearing the traditional strip in all away games except against Sydney who have too much red and white in their jumper:

Red:

Carlton

Collingwood

Geelong

North Melbourne

Fremantle

Port Adelaide

West Coast

Richmond

White:

Adelaide

Brisbane

Essendon

Hawthorn

GWS

GC

St Kilda

Bulldogs

That it is a Collingwood jumper in either case? :blink::blink:

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
