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.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
