awesome too that the new design focuses on the yarra area, wurundjeri tribe and the kulin nations that surround the city.

from memory the last design was based on themes from the northern territory, which was cool, but not exactly relevant to "melbourne".

None of my traditional watering holes are on the new jumper.

 Very easy to get lost following that map but apart from that looks good.

Ours is amazing, easily the best. Especially compared to this.

Seriously terrible, looks like 90's satin boxer shorts.

Love that they've got past MFC indigenous players inscribed down the side too.

Interesting topic that. Here is a list of all the Indigenous players Melbourne has had over years:

http://demonwiki.org/Indigenous+Players

Eddie Jackson the only Indigenous player to play in a flag (48).

Interestingly, a bloke called Colin Graham only played 35 games but got 13 brownlow votes in 1977! Any of the older posters remember him? 

The Wiz clearly the best in my opinion - although I only saw from Lovell onwards play.

Cyril looks like he's screaming internally.

That's a terrible design.

Each jumper design tells a story, (literally) and so aesthetic 'appeal' becomes secondary and almost a moot point for Indigenous round...

So in that way, they're all great. 

The fact that posters think Cyril would be 'screaming internally' wearing something that details his proud heritage is humorous and completely misses the point of why these custom jumpers are made for Indigenous round.

agree.   they are all equally good or equally bad depending on your pov and allegiance. it shouldn't be a competition, it's not the archibald after all

It's interesting that most clubs (Melbourne, Adelaide, Richmond, Port) have the 'R' for Recognise, while it appears that Hawthorn and Essendon don't.

Deleted my initial response to this, don't wanna get into a big thing here.

Continue on.

There's no big thing and I'm far from offended.

Others have shared views about the 'aesthetics' of the jumpers even if they didn't say what you did about Cyril. 

I'm just saying clearly ya'll are missing the point. The designs hold stories which are why they're made and I'm not sure that everyone knows that.

Because if they did, I can't imagine there'd be the same response in regards to the 'aesthetic' of the jumper.

Absolutely love this jumper! Does anyone know if they will be making them in kids sizes? Have a 5 year old indigenous boy who is in love with Garlett and I want to buy him one if they make them for kids but club hasn't emailed back and was over two weeks ago??

This one is by far the best indigenous jumper i have ever see.

Seriously need to get my hand on one of these baby's!

Reckon the Freo and Port jumper are playing off for gold, we definitely get bronze.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
