Finally I am a contributor to the Demonland.
Long time reader first time poster.


I think we need to talk about the Dons announcement at their AGM of their intent to change there clash strip. 


And the apparent loosening of AFL's laws on the clash strip. Especially since we have our white one and the Bummers are looking to not have the grey or white... but an all red and black clash strip.

I would expect red & blue strip, be gone with white. The club in their wisdom has produced a new red & blue logo... follow suit with the strip.

you think for 2016 season or are we waiting till the 2017 year?
surely we were having the similar sort of talks with the AFL about this matter as essendon were?

Who knows what this may look like, may well be a red sash going the other way, kind of like Collinwood's two jumpers, one white on black and other black on white.

Our clash strip should either be a red jumper with navy MFC logo (the intertwined letters ala MCC/Carlton) or a red jumper with navy yoke. Our school jumper was red with navy yoke and it looked great.

Whoever decided red is a "dark" colour is a nimrod.

I'm most likely on my own here, but I couldn't give a rats what any other club wears.  I'm also disappointed with myself for clicking on the link that took me to the Essendon site.

That said, it is clearly offseason when posters are banging on about our clash strip.  It gets done to death every year.

I know the simple option is not to read a thread that I have no interest in, so I will just do that!

I prefer the white jumper with a red V and a dash of blue than the predominantly red jumper. 

I don't see white as adding a colour to our jumper, I see it as a logical and progressive away jumper left blank as to not clash. 

It might fail spectacularly but I would support trying a baby blue or sky blue jumper.

No way...I still get a bite every time from a Blues mate when I start giving him [censored] about their M&M jumper.

Old dark Navy Blues my arse...

for all those people who used to argue "suck it up" and "you can't beat city hall", maybe they could explain how essendon has convinced the afl to have a clash jumper in just red and black. especially given essendon's current lowly status. i'll be waiting.

Why on earth do you think the EFC have a lowly status at the AFL?

seems to me Gil and company love them.

He has been defending them for the best part of two year.

Add to that Our current jumper alternatives are fine.

So suck it up.

The AFL don't care about us, we have a tiny supporter base, get them shite crowd numbers, bad ratings, etc etc.

FFS, they keep us afloat.

 

spend five years in the top 4, get 60k members and it will be a different story.

oh but they do have a lowly status, od

they have caused the afl great grief and embarrassment. not only that but taking them to court.

you might think they are soft on essendon, but that is just the appearance given because the afl are just protecting their own brand 

you don't really believe essendon are in a great bargaining position with the afl do you?

OMG baby blue - like that pathetic Carltank one?  You must be joking.  I laugh every time I see it, especially if they then sing "We are the navy blues..." More like "We are the powder blues...".

 

The red with blue logo looked pretty good and could never clash with anyone concerned with clashing with our traditional strip.

The bit I find bemusing is that, apparently, Essendon can have a clash jumper with just red & black, whereas Hawthorn, who are also in the news relating to their clash jumper, reckon they have been told theirs must be predominantly white.

Go figure...!!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
