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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
