    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)

    • 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.
