Are they more worried about the Umpires mixing the teams/players up then the players getting confused? Otherwise, why not let the teams decide if one needs to wear the clash jumper? I suppose Adelaide could be turds and still make them wear the clash top anyway. ?

I always think it funny that for almost 1.5 centuries we could work out which team was which we even had decades of B & W Tv and still worked it out but now we cannot work out Richmond and Adelaid

Navy blue v black. With dashes of yellow on both. I can see how there is a clash but to me it should be simple.  If there is a clash, higher placed ladder team gets to pick. Easy.  Id b

Yesterday the Umps were wearing Yellow/ Green shirts

i mean really, the AFL are pathetic. 

Adelaide are entitled to wear there home strip, no arguement. 

But where is the "Clash" with Richmond if they wear white shorts???

at least the toiges don't have to wear a crummy predominately white strip

at least they are wearing their colours even if not in the traditional config

i don't mind the reverse image strip but i'm not a toiges fan

because they did it for aints i guess they have to be consistent and do it for the toiges

wouldn't be happy if i was a toiges fan but it's not really to bad given it's still 'yellow 'n black'

Spot on. We have to push harder for an all red clash, OR I believe we should look at a light Blue and Red alternate. In EPL Football it is mandatory for each club to produce 3 kits. We have done this in previous seasons. We need to come up with 3 replicas of the traditional home jumper. One in White, one in either red (inverted) or light blue. It is that simple. Do away with the cheap training looking logo clash strip. They are putrid and it makes me barf seeing kids wearing them. 

Considering that our most iconic victories this year were in the away strip, i can't blame a kid for wanting that one. The traditional just reminds me of floundering in many games on the G this year, with the exception of Port.

* EFC and Carl played each other and each time wore their usual jumpers and the away team wore white shorts.This did not seem to be a problem for anyone, including AFL house

Great point and one I've not seen raised before. If we clash with Carlton and Essendon then surely they also clash with each other? How much difference is there between our design and the Bombers design compared to Carlton's? If we have the "redback" design which we saw on occasions this year there should be no need to wear white against the Blues.

I understand your concerns. But all red doesn't really do it for me either.

I want to be as close to our 'traditional' jumper as possible and a lighter blue could do that.

If they go with a red jumper I hope they put some genuine thought into it rather than just slapping an emblem on it!

Red with a blue yoke (inverted traditional jumper) - I don't see an issue with that, better than the Bintang one we have now

Essendon and Carlton are also foundation clubs.

VFL was founded in 1896 so all the clubs in the vfl in 1896 were foundation clubs

DC, my point is that the 1st team chooses its strip, it is the obligation of subsequent teams not to clash with existing teams.

If a Tasmanian team enters next season and it chooses to play in Grey, Orange and Mint,  then forever against GWS is should wear its clash guernsey say Choc Mint. 

Essendon FC can wear powder white - they know what that looks like

Carlton FC can wear [censored] brown - they give them to me

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
