    I decided to do a quick design. It's fairly similar to one of our recent away guernsey's, except for a bigger blue 'V' and also red sleeves. Thoughts?

    They should for a number of reasons. 

    For one it's representing the club every time it's trotted out, if it lacks any punch than its dishonouring our past. 

    Secondly as pointed out earlier it has commercial value, if the fans don't like it then they won't buy it meaning we've got stock wasting on the shelves. 

    Finally, and no I don't expect this to happen this year, but the club and the designers should ask themselves if Melbourne is holding the premiership cup at the end of the year are we ok with them wearing this? If it's a no then go back to the drawing board. 

    [Disclaimer] I know there'll probably be lots of people saying if Melbourne won the premiership they wouldn't care what they were wearing.

    Pink? I wish we could go back to the sliver jumper, when I used to wear mine to games it went so well with my mustard trousers and snakeskin platforms

    The white jumper is one of the most popular products at the Demon Shop, it outsells the 'normal' one

    Will be interesting to compare sales of this one to previous clash tops.

    i find that difficult to believe judged on the number of standard jumpers i see at games and elsewhere. maybe people buy their standard jumpers elsewhere

    Yes but do they see it as a big deal?

    I think not.

    If they do see it as a big deal based on the new. Design they clearly have no taste.

    Why can't we simply where our normal jumper against the dons? There is no clash there. 

    You mean like we always use to.  Carlton jumpers can also look fairly similar to the traditional MFC one, but neither jumper is indistinguishable from each other, as the contrast is in the significantly different geometrical design.

    Back pre clash jumpers, I recall there being a few moments of confusion in games where an errant handball may have hit an opposition in clear space thought to be a team mate and similaly probably a few mistaken identity umpiring decisions.  On average these problems effected both teams more or less equally.  Another objection is that tge players find it hard.  Having played lower level local footy, many instances occurred playing opposition with similar jumpers - it does require a little extra care, but it is hardly impossible.

    At AFL level, it was never the kind of gross problem that justified the atrocious over reaction from the AFL of mandating  'every' team develop a predominantly white away jumper.

    I'm sure they were once they were discounted down to $20 after sitting on the shelf and clogging up the store room all season.

    A few thoughts. Don't hate it but it could be sooooo much better with a bit of thought. Glad they dropped the city scape from the training jumper but don't like that it has the acorn design but I guess this is what they are plugging and there needs to be consistency. Good brand recognition should be based around this. Of all the new items I quite like the training tank and think I will pick one up

    I think we need The Ox to jump on the bandwagon re this jumper Emailing the club and the AFL is one thing but we need a constant media voice to get the AFL to listen.

    Remember the uproar before the 2014 Elimination Final which caused the AFL to back flip and allow Port (the home side) to wear their dark jumper even though it clashed with the Tigers clash jumper more than Ports white clash jumper which the AFL had originally told Port they had to wear

    I haven't voted because I neither love it nor hate it. Could we please have an Ambivalent option?

    Well, the view results or show results button is effectively an abstain.

    Currently 7 people (5%) have abstained,  11 (8%) love it ,  17 (13%) don't care,  and 98 (74%) hate it.  133 total.

    Even though it clashes with St Kilda's jumper more than our traditional jumper.

    TheAFL's crude white for all policy is garbage.

    What could epitomise this ridiculous stance more than havibg a team with NO white normally on its jumper playing. team that does.....and then introducing. White into the confusion where there was none. It's bullshlt.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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?

      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.
