Just saw our jumper (and the tiges which was also well done) on AFL360 and I think they have once again given a great image.

I always worry with things like this that they end up looking poor, but my kudos to those who designed/signed off on it.

Its subtle but I found my eye drawn to it.

    Beautiful in its simplicity. A very touching motif. Well done.

    Each club should be instructed to have the  Anzac badge placed on the guernsey only rather than any other graphical changes.

    That’s simplicity.

    But generally agree bub that this seems to be quite well done - not overdone.

    Of course i would. But Anzac Day is very special, we have a great life in Australia ?? We owe a lot to past history

    World War motif adjacent to a Swiss financial company logo seems a tad . . . unsavoury?

    (Please note however that Zurich has, on the surface at least, taken corporate responsibility seriously in recent times and has also previously led initiatives in the insurance sector for holocaust reparations).

    Nothing beats last years an amazing jumper 

    Agreed. Our 2017 jumper had on the back, the silhouette of the lone bugler standing in a battle field which was very moving. 

    It seems Richmond have copied the idea.  This year they have a silhouette of a lone soldier standing in a poppy field.  Not quite as moving as the bugler tho.

    I like that again the club has captured the spirit of ANZAC by having the silhouette of a soldier carrying his fallen mate.  A tingling image.

    I assume Rich have a clash jumper for this game or do they not qualify as the "big" away team??

    Funny boy!  Of course not!  They have their traditional yellow sash on black...!

    It's a goody. Better than that white contraption that was previously endorsed. We are Red and Blue. The rising sun badge looks good.

    I still cannot understand why richmond aren't made to wear a clash jumpers.  Both navy and black are dark colours and they should be forced to wear that yellow inverted jumper.  The AFL have no consistency on this issue.

    No I've regularly aired my concerns over the matter on this forum SWYL. Just making the point once again. It'd be nice to see the MFC make comment, but we don't do that.

    I don’t agree in this instance on them wearing a clash strip. We didn’t wear our clash strip (or white) for their home game last year. If it wasn’t for ANZAC day round then I’d have an issue, but I like that we’re both wearing our traditional strips this week. 

    Also like both teams running out through the same banner. Classy.

    This one’s a bit of a throw-back to the 2016 jumper, which had the silhouette of the lone soldier.  The simplicity is good, but if the AFL want this to be ANZAC round, then the rising sun should be in place of the AFL logo.  Would focus the attention on the important symbols (sponsors aside).

    I agree with your comment about AFL's lack of consistency on this (or almost any) issue. But I disagree that Richmond should wear a clash jumper. That's because I don't believe clash jumpers are ever necessary.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
