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

Agree, great looking clash jumper and far better than the red, white/silver, blue wimpish things the team's used in previous years.

And, I bet they'd sell better too!

    Worrying about clash jumpers is akin to taking an interest in two flys going up and down a wall.

    That being said, I liked the white clash strip we wore this year,

    Yes WJ it has become the AWAY strip not the clash strip.

    But it is all about TV and the money they pay.

    So enjoy the white jumper at most away games.

    In this day of HD TV....manicured grounds where it wet but there is no mud......horrendous clash strips adopted by some clubs which have no relevance to traditional club colours.    I still can't see the need for clash strips.   I know clubs do it for extra merchandise sales but I would refuse to buy stuff that is not our traditional colours.

    how essendon reckon changing their black and red jumper to red and black helps much, Ive no idea.  and ive no idea how the AFL approve this.  The whole idea it to use different colours so we can follow the game and so the players know who is on their team FFS

     

    every team should have a clash jumper that is >80% not including any colours from their home jumper.  I really like our white one and it works well.  But I agree that obviously it should only be worn for the 4-5 actually clashes we have per year

    If there is any clash then I am quite happy for the home team to wear all white and we will just wear Red and Blue on account of the fact that we invented the f**king game itself and started the competition in it's entirety .

    This is a very poor decision by the AFL and is a huge backward step.

    Essendon's reluctance to wear a proper alternative strip is directly correlated with the fact that we almost never get a home against them. Indeed, the AFL go to huge lengths to avoid the clash, with Melbourne often playing away to Essendon at the MCG. To compensate against us this season, Melbourne are playing St Kilda twice at Etihad.

    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.

    p-iss off the clash strip all-together;   it's wrecking the game & the feel of club & community,,,  & is just another cash grab,  which in the end hurts this competition & the game itself.

    I think the logo is way too large. Couldn't we have our new Melbourne logo front and centre? (Larger of course)

    GRRM why the clash with WCE?

    West coast home jumper this year is now the same as their away royal blue jumper except it's navy blue. So fairly similar.

    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. 

    DC, you know all too well that logic and the AFL are not good mates ... :lol::blink:

    Sad ... I quite like the red clash jumper, and can never really get behind anything with the white or (shudder) silver. Bizarrely the clash jumper is about the only thing we do better than Hawthorn ... :lol::)

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
