    I’ve got goosebumps. Can’t wait for it. Just the dead silence when the last post is being played, then the roar of the crowd getting ready for the first bounce.

    Meaning it looks a little on the feminine side D.  No sleight on the girls of course.  Just think the poppy is a tad big/bold here.  I'm sure others will think otherwise and love it but i'm a bit old school.

    Looks fine to me.

    We've done some cracking Anzac guernseys over the years. Love the continued reference to those Dees players that died in service and defence of our country and allies. Lest we forget.

    Looking forward to a belter of a game too.

    It has one too many elements on it.

    Floral parts are in groups of four for both poppy and fuchsia. Fuchsia has additional coloured sepals typically deep pink petals are darker.

    I wonder which bright spark at the AFL approved these jumpers:

    Even if one Ess (Away team) wears white shorts it still won't be easy to see what is happening.

    Haven't seen Tigers jumper but assume it will be predominately yellow.

    I don't generally equate poppies with ANZAC Day. To me, they are better associated with Remembrance Day.

    That being said, I think the jumper is terrific in that it respects the traditions of both ANZAC Day and the MFC.

    mostly from the back i think - they'll both be predominantly 'black' with white numbers

    when did poppies start becoming associated with anzac day? it's relatively recently, yeah?

    edit - from the australian war museum, turns out it's not as recent as i necessarily thought, dates back to 1940:

    The poppy has also become very popular in wreaths used on Anzac Day. An early instance took place in Palestine, where poppies grow abundantly in the spring. At the Dawn Service in 1940 each soldier dropped a poppy as he filed past the Stone of Remembrance. A senior Australian officer also a laid a wreath of poppies picked from the slopes of Mt Scopus.

    Poppies adorn the panels of the Memorial's Roll of Honour, placed beside names as a small personal tribute to the memory of a particular person, or to any of the thousands of individuals commemorated there. This practice began at the interment of the Unknown Australian Soldier on 11 November 1993. As people waited to lay a single flower by his tomb in the Hall of Memory, they had to queue along the cloisters, beside the Roll of Honour. By the end of the day, hundreds of RSL poppies had been pushed into the cracks between the panels bearing the names of the fallen.

    Fake poppies have been associated and sold for ANZAC day remembrance/celebration(call it what you like) for as long as I can remember. Actually the Essendon jumper looks pretty good. Ours is not bad either.

    I ordered one of ours for my daughters birthday yesterday, along with the number 2 to go on it. Was only limited sizes available so I miss out unfortunately. I think it is a great jumper. (Didn't see those scarves on the website though)

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
