    To me it looked like one mum would make a kid when she couldn’t afford to buy a proper one.

    Gee..a little unkind..lol. The design harks back to a much simpler era.

    But as you say... I wonder who among us here actually had their mum knit them a jumper. Mine did when I was a lil tacker. There was no shame. Many of us had knitted jumpers :) The best ones were Red and Blue of course. Some interesting shades of blue though....often what was on special at the Haberdasher's ;)

    The jumper was fine, but this year we have worn the following jumpers:

    • Traditional
    • Redback
    • Retro blue clash
    • Indigenous
    • Anzac Day (which is basically our traditional)
    • BCNA
    • Heritage one

    That's a lot of different jumpers in one year.

    I suspect our bottom line will be very healthy after the season and the above will be helping it.

    Hey, as a kid I never had a “proper” jumper. ? Even as an adult, when I was a Fitzroy supporter my wife knitted me a scarf with three different shades of blue (she refused to waste wool). I wore it with pride.

    ANZAC day and BCNA are really variants of the traditional jumper and for a good cause, so I support them.

    I'd try to combine the clash jumpers - red and retro blue - with any Indigenous or Heritage efforts.

    But at the same time I understand these heritage jumpers were $300 a pop to get your names on them. Even if there's only 50 people who paid up that's 15,000. Not a bad little earner.

    Maybe I heard it wrong. 

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

    Is this a joke? Honestly can't tell.

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

    Thank God we have moved from that heritage.

    It is now the 21st century not the 19th.

    Sorry bb should have been close.

    However perhaps a losing third last in the likability forum is accurate.

    On TV, looked like Essendon, go back to the brighter blue. 

    At the game, it was fine. 

    A Geelong mate said we looked good, its not a beauty contest we want to win.

    Reminds me of the advertising competition between BMW and Audi in 2006. Then Subaru chimed in with engine of the year. And Bentley outdoes them all.

    EPL clubs make a mint selling jumpers. If people are buying them and they don’t look like Carlton’s grey thing, who cares.

    I find it ironic that in 'member appreciation round' we wore this strip.

    I'm pretty sure most members prefer our normal jumper.

    • 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.

      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.
