We're wearing our white away guernsey. It's horrible. We don't look tough in it and it sucks watching the highlights. Not good to use any great marks or goals for branding or marketing when wearing it. I wish they'd wear the red one.

Who else hates it?

If we win by 60+ I'll be pretty happy to watch the highlights time and again.

The red one is no longer in existence unfortunately. The club shelved it after the AFL only approved using it against two teams (or so they were saying at the Demonshop when I was there last week).

Shame, I really liked it.

I know grand scheme of things it's nothing but it is one of my annoyances about us EVERY YEAR playing an away game to this mob. That plus the fact we miss potential good gate takings, it's an annual frustration.

The AFL's rationale was that "red" is a dark colour, not a light one and we need a "light" colour for a clash guernsey.

 

Somehow Essendon gets away with having their normal jumper with grey and a wider red sash - not sure how that qualifies as "light". May be part of the reason we never get a home game against them as stupid as that sounds.

Play the way we did last week throughout the season and we won't need to worry about fixturing next year.

It's an unfortunate part of the AFL beast. It's not fair. But it's the way it works.

This is true but we also are the home team on queens birthday every year  
Im not sure it matters that much, i believe this week replacement home game anyway? If they are so keen to keep those NT games they must be more profitable than the takings from this game anyway

hell, if we win every game by 60 plus  - I'd be happy watching in a freakin Collingwood jumper. (or bukk nekkid - neither option is particularly appealing)

The white one is better than the silver/grey monstrosity the Dees wore a few seasons back. Or is that just part of my nightmares?

How dare you besmirch this noble design.

This is quite amazing we almost made it to April before the clash jumper subject raise it's head.

I don't care what we wear when we are winning.

For me it is the winning not the clash jumper that counts.

No, but they are more profitable than the home games against Freo, Port, Suns, Giants etc that we get every single year.

I'll care if we are forced to wear them in a finals series. Of course if we win a flag I'll be delirious anyway but it will be a shame if we have to raise the cup in a white uniform instead of our traditional navy blue with red yolk.

In all honesty Dr if we win the grand final I wont even notice what jumper we are wearing.

However I would not worry about it in 2016 perhaps 2018 /9 it might be a problem.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
