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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
