Interesting, with Chris Hemsworth being a big doggies fan I do wonder if he had a hand in this decision somewhere along the line. 

Still not as bad as that Golden Logies Hawks jumper, that takes the cake for garbage jumpers.

 

 

 

I’d like to see some kind of protest by Dogs’ supporters, either by flooding the club with emails or simply not turning up at Marvel Rd 1.

We are starting to cross lines that shouldn’t be crossed, when a club starts to lose part of its identity for garbage jumpers and portrayal of players as superheroes, we are getting awfully close. 

I find it a bit sad actually if they have to resort  to this for extra dollars.

This will be us....!!! Clarke Kents Demons!

 

What's the chance our new corporate overlords have either kicked in funds to make this happen, or (more likely) ordered the AFL to put the frighteners on and make it happen under an obscure clause in the sponsorship contract?

The post above about dressing up as Spiderman is probably more than a figment of some marketing apparatchik's imagination. They're probably measuring up Nathan and Max for sizes right now.

Many of us were joking at the time it was announced (the unholy marriage of the AFL and the comic book company) but it was always highly likely that they weren't going to be spending all those $$$$ without infiltrating our game with their toys and cosplay.

Why do you imagine the Dogs are the first cab off the rank and not Collingwood or Hawthorn?

This is only the start of it.

The Adelaide Crows have also announced that the team will be running out in full corpse paint to emulate Eric Draven. 

If we are going corpse paint let’s do it properly. Gorgoroth style!!!

More to do with Marvel stadium and the AFL selling out

 

While it is a god awful jersey other sports have themed rounds which do very well.The NRL do a superhero round & jersey sales are a big upside of it especially for kids.In saying that they do look better in a NRL version as they have sleeves which round it out nicer

We dont want themed rounds. Simples.

Not having a direct dig at you D from Syd, but I reckon that if putting your head in a bucket of water 3 times and taking it out twice was considered a success in the USA, they'd be people saying it was a good idea here too.

doesnt even remind me of Thor.

why the Frack would the dogs agree to this?  a large sum of money??

talk about not caring about your jumper or tradition.

I would love to see AVB bust out of his jumper like the Hulk after scoring a goal though

Asked and answered.

Are they playing under AFLX rules in this game?


AFLX, Thorful jumpers...seems like the AFL executive has identified 10-year olds as their key target market.

I believe Disney agreed to a deal with Footscray, you wear this, Franco Cozzo gets a cameo in the next Avengers. 

When Marvel sponsor the stadium, what more do you expect. 

Shame on you AFL

Cheapen our game whilst you corporate parasites pay yourselves exhorbatant salaries. 

Shame on you

Okay I suppose its for the younger members of the audience but it's getting very close to cringeworthy.

Almost Meat Loafesque one could say.

Could it be coming from the same marketing area that gave us the AFLX? If so I think they need a little guidance from elsewhere.

Stadium entertainment is hard but if you are smart it can be done. I hear the pre game act at the new Perth stadium is a good as it involves the stadium itself coming to life.

Watt, you don't want Jack and that Beanstalk-Giant,  coming down from the  'G's'  roof...  when we play GWS ???     ?

come-on, you caaant be serious ! ?


Trouble with this being 'about the young fans' is that it isn't an optinoal extra special outfit for the kids, it is the required, compulsory, team uniform.

"We are trying to increase our reach to kids, so all patrons at the MCG will be required to only consume Happy Meals and Kinder Surprises (except Jack Watts who will be given Wizz Fizz and then pilloried for it)"

I don't know how to react to this news except with the traditional remedy of mockery and ridicule.

We could play along and point out that (according to Marvel) Thor's homeworld was completely destroyed by a giant red Demon... Or... that the Bulldogs better watch out because if Gil snaps his fingers, half the clubs in Victoria will disappear and you can bet the Bulldogs will be found to be surplus... Or... that when the Avengers want to look serious they wear Melbourne guernseys... Or... a bunch of Demon supporters can turn up to our first game there wearing X-Men outfits...

But really, a deafening, disinterested silence is probably the way to go.

F' it. I dunno. The single instance itself is just too stupid to care more than being momentarily irritated.

How many are there these days?

Indigenous round and  rivalry round are the only ones I can think of.   And thats more than enough.

Theyre kinda ok, cause its related to the sport and promoting culture etcetera. This other stuff is just blatant Americanism that is not even remotely related to aussie rules.

Hell no! They're licensed by a rival company!!

I can picture a future conversation with my son:

once upon a time there was this great game called Aussie Rules. Then a [censored]-end by the name of Gill took control and sold the game for some magic beans.  so to answer your question, that is why the Demons are wearing capes on this jernseys

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
