What's that supposed to mean?

 

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.

Or a fuchsia perhaps?  :D

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.


Appreciating the turn in this thread, too! The green shoots of a gentler Demonland?

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.

Where is the clash here?

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.

Ok haven’t seen the back panel yet

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)

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
