No White for MFC Clash Jumpers for Season 2018

Featured Replies

Posted

So West Coast have launched their 2018 jumpers, going back to their 'traditional' royal blue and surprise surprise, a yellow and royal blue clash jumper with no white.  

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/west-coast-eagles-reveal-new-logo-and-jumpers-for-2018-afl-season-new-jumpers-for-saints-magpies/news-story/3e3e7101110249d44b60569046df28ff

So are the MFC and AFL going to continue to serve up this rubbish that all clubs must have a predominantly white clash jumper and make our team run around in one for half a dozen+ games a year?

Will MFC suporters continue to allow this?

 

There is no doubt the AFL will force us to wear a White “Clash” strip, which will make us clash with other jumpers far more than we do now. 

(Personally i don’t think we clash with anybody)

But the AFL have to force their rules down our throat...

they love Power and Dill has to justify his wage...

Far too logical Andy

perish the thought!!

I must be the only one that doesn't mind wearing a white clash jumper for what averages to be once a month - yes ONCE a month.

I thought we had way more issues to worry about than a clash jumper.


Thought the jumper with the red back looked great - we played some good footy in that one too.

We don’t clash with anyone however the white makes us clash with St Kilda.

Why do we need an away jumper?

In the old days it was black and white shorts (and those were the days when a mud patch in the centre and in front of goals ensured both teams had black shorts at the end)!

These days there is no such problem (plus we have red socks as well)!

Could not give a toss what colour or clash jumpers are. Its just such a non-issue. 

I care more how we play the game, how many wins we will have and if we are going to make the finals.

It all about Essendon, we don't play home games against them because their clash jumper really isn't a clash jumper and me a small club that is bullied by the AFL to have a white jumper because the AFL don't have the courage to upset Essendon, same as Collingwood at least they have tried to this year and I think that is more on the back off Richmond having great success both on and off field with the Yellow clash strip

You definately work inside AFL House...


 The white jumper doesn't really bother me.

What bothers me is the outright hypocrisy of it all. The only "clash" is with Essendon...if you're blind and can't differentiate between black and dark navy blue.

I think every team should just have one alternate away strip for away games. Switch the colours around like Essendon and Richmond do.

Why we need two clash jumpers is beyond me.

Pretty sure someone was posting here a few weeks ago claiming that our clash jumper won't be white.  Didn't give it away, but I got the feeling it would be a red jumper with a blue v (opposite to our traditional strip).

Can't remember who is was, but I think they post here a bit.

You talk too much sense DD.  Love your work.

Red with a blue V neck??

think he just means the reverse (of colours) of current home jumper


Was never a problem when everything was in black and white!.......you could still tell us apart, even from Fitzroy!.....

How about a question mark in the title? I read it and was hopeful it had been given the boot. Bring back the disco blue.

Ironic failure to include question mark

Finally a man after my own heart.

just win I don't care what we are wearing.


Us wearing an appropriately coloured short - rather than the traditional white for away teams - would go a big way towards solving the problem.

Oh no we are wearing a clash jumper... the world is ending...

We wore royal fucken blue for years! We changed our traditional jumper and people still get upset over an away guernsey.

I posted this in another thread, but I can tell you, I was given info from a person connected to the MFC that suggested that the White clash while be done away with and that the new clash jumper will be "as traditional as it could be'. Make of that what you will. I pushed the guy for more details or for a release date, but he was tight lipped...which is fair enough. Based on what he told me, I am excited to see the design.

This.

If I was the AFL, I wouldn't want as many white clash jumpers. I can understand teams that have white as a main colour using a white clash jumper but one of the great attractions of the game is the bright and colourful jumpers.

It's taken them a long time but West Coast now realise this and have an yellow clash, Richmond's yellow clash is great and Adelaide's was excellent this year (sadly they are going back to white next year).

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
