    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
