Redbacks?

Great Northern Summer
in Melbourne Demons

If we are wearing red backs, this means we’d be wearing white shorts. We have never worn redbacks with blue shorts. Very bizarre if true. We are the home team as far as this all goes, are we not? That’s how it has worked in previous years

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

    My guess is for this purpose - we sent our jumpers off to get the logo, so we used these old jumpers for photos/media?

    I don't know otherwise.

    There is no home team for the Grand Final. Usually it's a coin toss isn't it as to who wears home strip and the other side gets to pick their change rooms.

    No the team that finished higher on the ladder is the “home” team.

    As you'll see from this Tweet, it's not clear if either of these is correct (at least, as at 2017).

    Generally speaking Clint Bizkit is right, the team higher on the ladder wears its home jumper, but 2015 was an exception - West Coast finished above Hawthorn on the ladder, but in the Grand Final the AFL made West Coast wear its clash jumper, so that Hawthorn could wear its home jumper (albeit with white shorts).

    2015 was my reference, I’d forgotten that the royal blue jumper wasn’t West Coast’s home jumper that year.

    Geelong and Sydney being in so many Grand Finals muddies the water because Geelong offen wear white shorts home and Sydney often wear red shorts away.

    I'll guess that the redback jumper was being used simply because we need our players to be in clean club gear every day and on this day the property steward had a spare set of redback jumpers to use.

    Think you'll find it was WCE's preference to wear the royal blue jumper in the 2015 GF, which is now their home jumper anyway. They did the same in 2005 and 2006, despite no clash with Sydney, when back then they had a predominately navy blue home jumper.

    If we are wearing the redback (which we probably aren't), it may be the club's choice to save pushing the Dogs to wear white and thereby given them more ammunition to fire up for the game, and provide better visibility for the players.

    In the 2015 GF West Coast wore their away jumper as opposed to their clash jumper if that makes sense. West Coast’s clash jumper was white that year and they were more than happy to wear their away royal jumper with matching shorts.

    Fat lot of good that did them as they got trounced that day.

    Wow. The redback mystery. Love it

    This two week break between games is working out a treat.

    My guess is the Redback could be worn for the practice match today. From memory we wore the Redback in the intra-club game after the Essendon postponement last season.

    Why it doesn’t clash. If they’d finished on top, I wouldn’t want them to force us to change either

    This thread is redundant....  the video on the mfc Facebook page putting the logos on the jumper clearly shows  a blue back.

     

    Everybody was jumping at shadows

    I used to like the beer until Matilda Bay were brought out by CUB and they changed the formula to keep cost down.

    Since the 2016/17? Bali away fiasco the club has nailed everyone of its jumpers and most of its marketing. The Red-back looks awesome. Who cares? Let's win a premiership!

    • 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.

      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.
