    Our media promo just had us in our red back guernsey? Surely we’re not wearing them? I actually like it but wouldn’t see why...

    I'm also worried about the pants and shoes. Hope we don't go in with those as our match day kit!

    Caro fairly and squarely put back in her place today by the players instead of her shooting her mouth off why not wait and see. The club were very good in 2018 why would this change now?.

    Looking for a headline grabbing opportunity during a GF build up.

    Aside from this year we usually wear the red back against the Dogs in away games.

    We won’t be wearing it in the GF unless we request to.

    The 2 week strain is really showing when this becomes a topic for discussion. .

    We did originally have to wear the red backs against the dogs, but earlier this year we wore our regular jumper. Interesting though Viney is also wearing one...

    As the higher-ranking team we deserve to wear the red and blue traditional strip.

    As the home team. We should be in traditional jumpers and blue shorts.

    Dogs as the away team should be in white shorts with their away (white strip)

     

    will be bloody annoyed if it's not that way - we have earned the right as minor premier and straight through

    Never mind the redbacks, we might be looking at barking spiders if they did that.

    I'd be more annoyed if the AFL told us to wear the red back shirt over us choosing to wear it.

    It would be wrong for them to force us to change because a) The AFL let the doggies wear their home shirt full well knowing there is a slight clash. b) Officially announcing both teams would wear their traditional garb and c) we are the home team, doggies can wear white.

    There must be a reason behind this, I can’t see how all the players in the media photos would all be in the red back jumper out of coincidence…I hope we wear our traditional strip.

    Apparently Richmond drove a lot of revenue from sales of their 2017 premiership clash strip.

    Yeah we have been told by AFL and 7 to wear red backs. I reckon  they announced ‘traditional strip’ hoping that we would all be none the wiser. Absolute Joke! We deserve the home strip. While it isn’t a massive departure from our home jumper, it is not our jumper.

    Where did you see this?

    I suspect we were wearing the redback jumpers because we've sent our regular jumpers off to get the Grand Final logo heat pressed onto them.

    We stopped wearing the redback jumper after the 2019 season. We don't sell it any more.

    The AFL has already confirmed we're wearing our regular jumper, too.

    It's not needed against the Dogs (or West Coast, a side we've also worn it against). Their jumpers are royal blue and there is no clash with our much darker navy blue.

    So why would we have them with us in Perth in 2021?

    • 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.
