Just wish the shop would sell long sleeves

Who is the most recent MFC player to play in long sleeves?

    In 2017 Jayden Hunt wore the long sleeve against GWS in Canberra.

    But only in the first half.

    Remember thinking at the time how rare it was to see an MFC player in long sleeves. Only for him to revert to sleeveless after half time.

    Chris Dawes wore them in a night game a few season's ago. I think we won. I remember Mitch Clark wore them too. 

    He had sleeves even wearing a standard jumper.

    My memory may not be as good as it used to be.  But, seems to me that, when I was a kid back in the early 60s, the long-sleeved jumper was the norm, with the sleeveless variety being the rarity...

    I always found it ironic that when Yze wore the long sleeve he'd roll the sleeves up. I'd like to see a revival of the long sleeve though, even potentially for pre-season a rugby style top.

    I'm stoked with our home and away jumpers this year, only thing I would change it to implement the Zurich sponsorship better so it doesn't look like a iron on patch

    Barrie I think your memory is playing tricks.

    You look at most of the team photos of this era most players wore sleeveless jumpers or should I say guernseys.

    There were always a couple of players who preferred the long sleeves, blokes like Ian Ridley, Geoff Tunbridge and Doc Roet, but the majority opted for sleeveless. 

    However, on a wet or muddy day many footballers opted for the long sleeves in keeping with coaching advice in this era.

    Maybe it was just the set of jumpers used by the Sale High School Under 16s team!  Pretty sure they were pretty much all long sleeved!  LOL

    Sorry, but all of the above are awful

    Sorry but all of them look like training jumpers. Agreed SWYL.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
