    Maybe I heard it wrong. 

    I had a few bundles to settle the nerves so could be possible.

    Oldest footy club in the world.

     

    One of my kittens so called friends said we won the beauty contest with the jumper.

     

    Can't wait to give it back in two weeks.

    Thought it looked great. With 2 different clashes, Anzac jumper, BCNA jumper and Indigenous jumper I understand the concerns we have too many but I'm a fan of this one. 

    The blue with the red stripes coming together would make a nice template for an Indigenous jumper

    Just goes to show there is always at least two opinions. I thought they were crap.

    It was red, it was blue, and we won by plenty. Combine those 3 things and it's hard for me to dislike. I thought the red contrasted very nicely off the darker blue. But I only saw them on the ground. Might be a jumper that looks messy on TV.

    From the back it looked like Carlton and the front a Country team from the 1950's.

    what the hell is wrong with playing a home game in our traditional colours?

    what are we wearing on Friday week?  

    As I said earlier DS we all have our opinions and I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    So they can do no wrong?

    You probably like CS's blazers as well on that basis.

    Yes... always other opinions...lol

    I quite liked it. A good old fashioned footy jumper that  gave a big nod to our heritage.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
