Apparently many think they know more about this than Jennifer Watt - General Manager Marketing and Communications

Who recently won the Graeme Samuel Scholarship: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-05/jennifer-watt-wins-graeme-samuel-scholarship

And who has been specifically seconded by the AFL to re-invent Etihad as fan friendly: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-trying-to-reinvent-etihad-stadium-as-a-fanfriendly-venue-20161028-gsdaeh.html

We Demonlanders are a masochistic bunch, aren't we?  Keep banging our heads against a brick wall and wailing against this same injustice every year!  Do we really think anyone in power actually gives a rats about what we think...??

They should listen as we are the ones who buy merchandise and also keep the club afloat!

here are some alternatives i have saved over the years from places like here and big footy.

no reason we couldnt be in any of these - or even have 3 (blue/red/white)

i feel sick

this has actually turned me off the AFL in a big way

ffs

158 years and we have to wear THAT next year? jfc

If these were our clash Guernsey's I'd be fairly happy with that. I'd probably remove the little emblem on the original but other than that I can't see much better of an outcome than what you've put together here.

Can we honestly put this forward along with a signed petition? Would anyone else be keen to try do that?

I do not understand why we dont just have an inverted clash strip, predominantly red with the blue V?

I do not hate the new one but I do not love it either, was the same feeling with all out clash jumpers.

You mean like the one Richmond were allowed to wear in 2016?

No poxy white on this.

I'd be happier with the below version and only in games where there is a genuine clash (not just every away game).

And yes I'd be happy to sign a petition for almost any variation that didn't include ghastly white domince.  I hate the white with a passion and there are few things more sacred to a footy club than it's colours.  I feel violated every time I see us in a poxy white piece of crap jumper.

The Brisbane Lion supporters lobbied hard and won their battle against the Paddle Pop Lion jumper - time Demons fans took up arms to fight for our own jumper.  The AFL has clearly set numerous precedents allowing other clubs away jumpers much closer to their regular home and away jumper, so the MFC should have reasonable grounds, particularly as we are the oldest club in the comp.

Is there someone here on Demonland that can set-up such a petition?

Spot on and the answer is No.

will we all return our memberships? No

will we stop going to games? No

Will we do anything that effects the MFC? No

AFL you win.

How would returning memberships or stop going to games help the situation other than hurting the MFC.  

There are better ways to push this with the AFL than the above - how about burning a white crap jumper on the doorstep of AFL house, or something along those lines that expresses our extreme dissatisfaction with the situation without hurting the MFC?

If this is the new clash jumper its a shocker. By why should we be surprised.

Business and the market place prevails. The trump stone.

Merchandising and branding wins every time over good design and good taste.

I have to say that I have disliked the new logo from day one. Okay as a logo on a mug, glass or coffee cup but no much else. 

Yes Ernest, agree, the new logo reminds me of the old Warner Brothers emblem that they used to show prior to countless old TV series. Don't like it, yes on club coffee mug but certainly not on a pure white shirt.

One thing i really wish they'd bring in is the names on the jumper mini me ( my son ) is always having to look in the book to work out who players are by their number. 

the clash jumper is close to the worst i've seen and a 16 year old in an arts class could design better in my opinion, some of the suggestions on here are much better.

Phew!  So, it's not just me?!!  Thanks, Daisy!  When I see it, I see squirrels!

I liked the old logo too, but c'est la vie ... As for the clash jumper, I prefer last year's, and hate the white in any of them. Logically there is no reason why we can't have a blue vee on an otherwise red jumper (see Essendon "clash strip", and the Bulldogs have a red variety), but expecting sense, consistency and reason from the AFL is a pipe dream ...

I emailed the club to tell them it's horrific and they're better off keeping this year's. They replied with a copy-paste response saying white clash guernseys are necessary and there are ongoing discussions about them with the AFL. Actually annoyed me more than if they didn't respond at all. Just condescending.

Think most people were pretty comfortable with this year's. Especially the red one that never got rolled out.

I notice that the Demon Shop link is now inactive. 
Regardless I've written to the club this evening outlining my displeasure with the new uniform. I said that t
he club only needs to look at social media posts and club forums to gauge instant feedback.  I've pointed them to Demonland's poll whereby nearly 80 per cent of respondents claim to 'hate it'.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
