MFC Anzac Day Jumper


Leoncelli_36

Recommended Posts

I'm really loving our jumper this year. The red is a great colour, there is no stupid collar and the emblem's gone which makes it look a lot better!

Me too, thats why i brought one!

Now to get some consistency with the red in everything!

Sorry but the southern cross is too much of a bogan symbol these days, watch the bogans that support us this jumper, which makes me torn as the income is great!

That's a great jumper.

Considering how many Melbourne players were lost in the war, it seemed like a natural fit for Melbourne to do *something* on the day. Collingwood however had a support and player base heavily involved in the union movement at the time, which was striking and causing all sorts of havoc to our war effort. Collingwood's working class base epitomised the anti-war rhetoric, and now they exploit ANZAC Day.

I don't know, I've always felt uneasy about how the AFL deals with ANZAC Day. However I do wish Melbourne would do more seeing as though the club lost more in the war than any other. It's a double-edged sword. I'm not sure how to address it. But a part of me has always been disappointed that Melbourne hasn't done more.

But this is Melbourne. Doing is less is always...well, less.

I think that we are doing a bit this year praha.

Its an Anzac even before the holiday, night game etc. I think a big hoo haa will be made.

I know we did a few years back when we would play Sydney and Barrass would present a trophy etc.

FWIW I like the jumper. Understated. Not too in your face. Although, generally speaking i believe the southern cross is pretty bogan

It's screams bogan when it's a sleeve tattoo or on the back of a V8 ute, not so much when it's being used on Anzac day to honor our fallen soldiers.

I like the jumper but not sure whether to take up the club's offer to buy one. I contacted the marketing department and asked if they thought the jumper would look as good on me as on Jack? I pointed out that I have a big head and am about 3 foot tall with strings attached.

I haven't got a response yet. Strange!

Are our players worthy to wear such a jumper after our insipid capitulation? I think not unless LMF is stamped across the chest.

I get your point I just noticed the ANZAC emblem on the shoulder. That emblem epitomises a level of commitment to the cause that our blokes have never shown, not in my time anyway.

It's not a uniquely Australian symbol though? It's relevant to the Southern Hemisphere and several other countries also have the Southern Cross on their flags.

It seems like i'm one of the only ones in the camp of that looks like crap. Fine line between understated and bland, a light blue southern cross awkwardly placed at the front just looks bizarre imo. But hey, they could wear pink polkadot lingerie for all i care as long as they smash richmond.

Don't mind ours. Understated. Essendon's I get and I think it's good but at the same time I don't like it. GWS, Brisbane and St Kilda though. No thanks

GWS I don't mind, Collingwood and Freo may as well have not bothered and I'm not sure what's going on with the Saints jumper... ours and Essendon's are both well designed and I would think meet the brief of representing the ANZACs.

PMSL@ Freo's and Collingwoods, they just put the ANZAC badge on it and collingwood added that and the poppy...lol

Stk one makes no sense at all.

Brisbanes is HIDEOUS!

I like Essendrugs.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
