It's rather busy. The red and the blue parts are the wrong way around as well.

    Agree, but lots of indigenous artwork looks ‘busy’.  IMO, the underlying story that it tells is its most important feature.

    Was always going to be a hard task to follow up on the 2021 indigenous jumper,

    could be determined by who were playing during indigenous rounds?

    and is that similar to/the same as what the girls wore in season just gone?

    Art is... always subjective and always cultural.

    And from what I know as a privileged white middle aged bloke... there will be a story that I can't connect with by merely looking at it...

    ...until it is put in print to me, in which case I then reflect on the paucity of ritual and connection to land that my ancestors that emigrated here 150 years ago passed on to me.

    That's when the object that I am looking at makes sense, and transcends my socially constructed version of beautiful art.

    Should have been a darker blue sky to avoid any potential similarities to the Doggies. Not a bad design, but not our best either. Personally i would have had either the eagle or boomerang. Not both.

    Have I missed the MFC letting us know the story of this one? Can't wait to read about it, looks interesting.

    Fair point Turner. I've just looked and the Sir Doug Nicholls rounds are 10 & 11 which are both away games against sides that predominantly wear royal blue, West Coast and North Melbourne. I think I read somewhere that these guernseys get planned a long way ahead of time though and therefore probably before the fixture is released.

    All I can see is the gold AFL on it. And that makes it a masterpiece. In fact that makes it our best ever indigenous jumper.

    My God that's a whole lot of psychobabble.

    Self haters are embarrassing.

    Terrible. Just awful compared to the beautiful efforts of past seasons. At least my lovely wife won't be asking me to buy this one as she has in the past. Save some coin.

    Blue sky, red earth. I get why they've swapped it around for the story telling, which I assume they will release an article on, and still easily identifiable as Melbourne. Not my favourite design but I like it nonetheless.

    We've had some great Indigenous guernseys but i'm afraid this one is an eyesore

    Myself, my wife (who is of Indigenous descent) and both my boys (also of Indigenous descent) love this year's jumper, last year's was awful.  Just our opinion.

    Yep, not a fan of the above. I loved this one (2016):

    and Nev's 2020 design:

    Hopefully a long sleeve (for both the Anzac and Indigenous) will be ordered for Langdon or Hunt or those gents won't be happy.

    Last year they didn't have one for either.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
