we have the mostly red already with the red-back clash jumper. there are 2 clash jumpers now

A red jumper with a blue yoke (even more red) would be an effective clash jumper when the red back and home jumper doesn;t suit and it would mean we wouldn't have to have a different shade of blue.

Again, I like the royal blue but would prefer the inverted option.

    i like the inverted option too, but i think they wanted something lighter again for even less clash.

    a more acceptable compromise than predominate white (/silver)

    my major gripe was the long list of clubs  they claim it will be used for in away games. many of these are not real clashes.

    I would argue that a mostly red jumper is just as light as royal blue but that's neither here nor there.

    The whole AFL policy on clash jumpers and even white shorts is a mess, how they haven't fixed this is a joke.

    agree about away white shorts. should be able to use a coloured one as long as is different from opponent

    the nrl allow coloured shorts for away game strips

    next thing for afl to fix is umpire clash uniforms - lol

    Agree with all of the above in a general sense.  Would be ok with a predominantly red with navey clash jumper next season so long is the design is generally attractive and sufficiently aligned with MFC traditional emblems/designs, should the AFL be willing to accept that under another interpretation/rethink of their requirements.

    White shorts are ok, but we should NEVER EVER AGAIN acept white as part of our playing jumper design.

    All clash jumpers are rubbish because they're just not necessary.

    Except for when they clash.

    like when the umpires wear pink?

    All 3 of our jumpers look good now: could never really warm to the white even though I didn't hate it quite as much as many supporters

    Maybe going against the grain, but I did struggle to pick the jumpers on the other side of the ground prior to the 'clash jumpers'.  If I had to do it in a split second, i'd be stuffed.  I think our problem has been firstly we haven't had a clash strip that has been popular amongst the fans, and secondly, we've never kept one long enough for anyone to feel any connection to.

    Prefer the Royal Blue version to any of the white one's previously used. Really like the version of the clash jumper that has the red back.

    Well done to the club's administration.

    Not enough choices in the poll. I voted "love it" but the total truth is that it is better than most of what has gone before it. Always hated the royal blue number in the 70s and 80s though. So it's relatively better than the white number, ok, but love it is a bit too strong.

  • Quote

    Neither Hate nor Love it    ...  But  I  loathed the white jumper    the red was OK far better than the white.   I didn't think we clashed as we are now  and the Royal blue does bring back images of Robbie Flower,   my 2 bobs worth...

    But if I recall correctly we handpassed to them and kicked it to them and the umpires did not have even one effective disposal. No for me it's back to white you maggots.

    Yep, MD, with stats like that, they would have fitted right in with our mob, based on a lot of our previous performances!  LOL

    Down by 4 points and surging forward when Bartram 'passed' to the umpire.

    This is my favourite clash jumper ever. If we have to have a clash strip this is it.

    This is a Melbourne jumper, in fact it's the Melbourne Jumper I fell in love with as a little kid. I fell in love with it because it's the jumper Robbie Flower wore. When I drew Melbourne jumpers incessantly as a kid, this is the jumper I drew, I didn't use the dark blue texta.

    I was in my teens when we reverted to Navy, I love the Navy and that's our strip, always will be. But this clash is unmistakably Melbourne. Our Jumper is blue with a red yoke, not the other way around, not white, not silver, not a logo or picture on the chest.

    Well done to the club, can't believe nobody thought of this sooner. I hope we keep keep this and the redback jumper for our clash strips for a very long time and put this argument to bed forever.

    Agree wholeheartedly, especially with the bolded part.

    Agreed.

    I like the royal blue and I think it's an improvement on the white jumper we've been wearing in the past.

    But according to the article on our website we'll be wearing six out of our 11 away games, with a further two games in the red-back. We only properly "clash" with about two clubs.

    Had about a million disposals in the last quarter. Almost pulled us over the line for a win. After that game I was excited to have him in red and blue. I was naive.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
