    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
