    Somehow I think we better get used to it...Am sure the AwFuL will want us wearing it at every opportunity as summary penance for being so maverick !!

     

    At least the song will still make sense now...and we'll be hearing it ALL the time ...surely  !!

    I loved it when we reverted to our traditional navy after our 11 year dalliance with royal blue (I remember the advertising slogan 'back in blue' like it was yesterday), and now I love the new clash rig for the nostalgia factor, and the million memories of the late and great Robbie.

    Anyway, as all  AFL traditionalists would know, white was always the domain of the maggots.

    An international sponsor and now a simple red and blue away jumper. 

    Every step taken by the off field management has been a step in the right direction. 

    Big one remains elusive.....a home of our own. Time needs to remain our friend and all may fall into place,both in and off the field. 

    Good move Dees.

    My first reaction was to throw up in my mouth.

    My second reaction was ‘huh, AFL must be moving away from white’.

    And we are back to it meaning little...

    What will it be in 2020? 

    Silver again?

    interesting that our current home guernsey AND our main away guernsey are BOTH historically HOME guernseys. 

    a pretty good result when all said and done

    Makes you wonder how it took 15 years to get there!

    Not a huge fan of the Royal Blue. Memories of the late ‘70’s and early 80’s watching the Demons had few highlights, But it is 100 x better than a white Jumper, at least now i know, at first glance I am watching the Demons

    well done to those who kept up the views to the AFL. 

    Clash Jumpers are purely a marketing tool

    SWYL can you tell us what you are a fan of? Why do you really enjoy?

    Watching the women's team one thing I really like about their jumper is the fact that the yoke sits a lot lower than the men's jumper:

    This means that the sponsor and AFL logos don't interfere with design of the jumper as much.

    In 2010 we had something similar, albeit the yoke wasn't as sharp as it could be:

    brad-green-aaron-davey-brent-moloney-and

    It would be good to go back to something like the women's / 2010 men's jumper for future.

    I love the fact our clash one is only our old retro 80’s one. Being an 80’s gal, I grew up with it, so it’s not too hard to watch them in this. Frankly, I’m syrprised the AFL let us get away with it. They never seem happy unless it looks completely different from their normal one (of course Collingbog are extempt to this rule). Of course it’s navy blue all the way for me, but if we had to wear it for the grand final, I wouldn’t be too fussed. I just hope they agree to keep it like this and never change, here’s hoping.

    I am a fan of winning GF’s in the Red and Dark Blue. 

    The new clash strip is better than any white crap we have had to wear over the years, but i was not a fan of it back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. 

    I bought a new footy jumper Round 1 1987  in celebration of leaving the light blue jumper behind. 

    Sorry for not liking it. 

    But it is an improvement on White

    Understand. No offence, but I am assuming you are older than me? I’m an 80’s girl so I was too young to remember the change happening. So, growing up it didn’t bother me. I had the wollen jumper they sell now (over $200!? Get serious) except it had no demon logo and was royal blue. Still take my royal blue VFL scarf to all home games. So it doesn’t bother me, but I can see why others don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong, I’d never want to go back to it, navy all the way. My point is if we were forced to wear a clash jumper (heaven forbid) in the grand final, at least it would be a jumper that was once official, not like the travesty’s of St Kilda’s And Richmond’s.

    Uhm glad we’re all caught up now, as others have said I could care less if it was a white inverted Schwabby special as long as I get to see a flag in my lifetime. The Tigs didn’t give two hoots in the jumper they wore.

    I’m only 40 so there is hope.

    Of course. I do care what we wear. I hate the white top too. I can see how those who are apathetic about what we wear as long as we win probably wouldn’t care if we had a hawk on it, if you know what I mean ?

    If the merger had gone through, i doubt i would have supported the club if a Hawk was anywhere near the front of the jumper. 

    After what we witnessed in 87 & 88 i would never understand an MFC member ever cheering hard for that yellow bird

    I mean clash jerseys is a basketball/soccer thing. Everyone was fine for over 100 years, why are they having so much problems now?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
