From DEMONS22 at BigFooty:

"I have been advised that Melbourne will have the Red Back Clash, A Royal Blue Clash, BCNA, Anzac, Indigenous & Standard Home. New Front Sponsor to be announced shortly, back sponsor to remain ISelect."

Forgive my ignorance- what is BCNA?

I'm thinking that AFLHQ are softening on the issue - or at least wishing to be less pedantic and illogical in their application of the rules (I find it hard to believe that an idea akin to our red-back clash of 2017 was never floated before - but rather that it's just now been accepted). However, any attempts at logical discretion on their behalf will no doubt be accompanied by further cries of bias and corruption.

The only reason I can come up with as to why we need a clash jumper at all is because someone at the AFL has worked out that our jumper clashes with the Casey Demons and has decided we need a clash jumper because of it.

I'm not too fussed about us now wearing the red and royal blue jumper now as our "clash" jumper. It is better than wearing the white jumper.

It takes us back to the days of the mid 1970s and early to mid 1980s when we used to wear these colours.

Let's just hope we can win far more games than we did in those days! :P

 

For those interested here is a video link showing the new red and royal blue "clash" jumper.

I love it but am disappointed for some of our regular posters who won't have the opportunity to whinge and complain about the AFL and all that S$#T.  Reading the first couple of pages of this thread and the level of self indulgent and self serving complaining was breathtaking.  Move on and enjoy supporting your team!!

As a follower of over 50 years this choice is a fantastic one...now if only we could resurrect Robbie (the greatest player to wear the red and royal blue)

Go Dees!!

Can't link to the post on Instagram, but the royal blue looks good. Means we don't deviate from our current jumper much at all which can only be a good thing.

Ah yes, the Robbie Flower days. 70+ point beltings weekly. Those were the days. 2013 really brought me back, but this is an all new form of nostalgia! 

In all seriousness though, I never cared enough to hate the white clash as much as some here, but this is a major improvement. I no doubt prefer red and blue than predominantly white.

Could you get a more perfect away strip? Well done MFC!

We have the best guernseys in the league.

Royal blue much better. With the white jumper I thought I was barracking for Shitney.

Most exciting news all day.  Stuff about the new sponsor is great and important, but really doesn't do much to excite the passion in me as a supporter.  Well done to the club for listening to it's membership/supporter base and making this happen and also for the AFL for finally comming to their senses as well.

Right from the start of this ridiculous clash/away jumper policy the AFL brought in 10 - 15 years ago, it felt like a foreign (Americanised) sporting culture was being imposed on our code with the (selectively applied) predominantly white emphasis.  I'm pragmatic enough to realize the need for a clash jumper of some description, but really the AFL should have thought long and hard before it let clubs like WC, Port and Freo adopt new jumper designs that clashed more heavily with existing teams jumpers than the jumpers approved for those teams when theyou first joined the comp, so much of this was the making of the AFL.

The new 'Royal Blue' clash looks great compared to the white/Bali jumpers.  It actually looks a few shades lighter than the original royal blue ones, though my royal blue one with the number 2 got pretty sun faded in the end.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
