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?

 

Just need to put the scary demon face back on it, I reckon.

    True. although I think we do clash with Carlton, which would make the red jumper an idea choice ... but you would have to be as blind as Razor Ray to think our jumper clashes with West Coast, Freo or Port ... 

    I agree but i also accept that their home jumpers are mainly "dark" colours being blue purple and black...

    Red would be perfect against these teams.

    so it's not a dead issue at all, nasher. i'll give you point 1 but

    To me it is dc.  My ambivalence towards the strange double standard is probably driven by the fact that a) I don't mind the white, I think it looks okay, and b) I just don't give a fig about being made to wear a different guernsey in the first place. The double standard has no practical impact on me whatsoever, so I'm happy to just ignore it.

    Again Dr it is a problem that I will have no trouble dealing with on GF day.

    On the day you wouldn't care but looking back on it, memorabilia etc would be a little off without the traditional red and blue

    I don't mind it....

    We tend to win in the white strip too.

    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.

    Have similar numbers to the 28,000 that rocked up against a team with an entire supporter base numbering at most 1,500 in the entire country, and we'll have little to worry about next year RE: fixturing. The more I've been thinking about it, the more outstanding that attendance seems. The Hawks managed 18,000 against GWS two years ago on the 'G. We managed it during a school holiday period, where many families would have gone away too. I'm sure the club are quietly stoked.

    I've mentioned this game before, but the game in '05 against West Coast at the 'G had an attendance of just under 36,000. Incredible against an interstate side. They're Collingwood-like numbers. Those lapsed MFC supporters are out there. If we can really build some momentum in the first 12 or so games, we may just crack that 40,000 membership tally and expect to see crowds rise even further.

    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.

    Total BS. There's no way it would clash with teams with a TINY BIT of red in them. We were 'forced to wear' our white against teams that have bits of white in their jumpers. In the case of St.Kilda it looks like it clashes more. Meanwhile Carlton  V Richmond play and Carlton can wear their (practically black, especially on tv) guernsey for the sake of tradition! We are the most traditional damn club of them all, if we want a red guernsey we should be able to have it.

    That said I think our red guernsey last season was a bit boring looking, needed some kind of blue stylised into it as we just looked like Sydney from the back

    I'd be happier with no clash jumpers full stop.It's just some American BS that was introduced to our game.

    I don't have an issue with the clash jumper at all. My issue is with the AFL fixturing us against Essendon once a year and it being their home game each time - seemingly every year of late. 

    I'd just like to see Essendon wear a clash jumper against us in our home game. Even just once. 

    Until this happens I believe it's an AFL/Essendon agreement to avoid this happening.

    Things that still surprise me:

    1) That people hate the white so much
    2) That people still post the red guernsey when it's clear it's never going to happen. 
    3) That people resent the AFL so much for imposing a rule that clearly makes sense from a watchability perspective.

    *shrug* I'm looking forward to see our white clad team roll Essendon in their traditional colours.  

    4. That people could care about guernseys at all, as if it is a fashion show not a game of footy

    I could be wrong, but I think I read/heard somewhere that the MCC requests Melbourne play only away games to Carlton and Essendon and that they must be at the MCG. I think is to ensure we play as many MCG games as possible.

    Circa 04'. Red clash with flowing Demon logo. Vs. Essendon = farce.

    The Sash is in the Essendon Charter, they can't play in anything else. We should do the same.

    they could play in yellow and brown and still not win this year!

     

    I like the red and blue reversed. Long day are the days where mud made it indeterminable. Bring back the muD!

    rubbish, as dan the man said the "charter" is not worth the paper it's written on". the afl run the competition else anyone could just add anything to their "charter"

    I agree, but hey got away with it.

    Why can't we run with reverse red body, blue V?

    OP should change username for this post to avoid the confusing clash.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
