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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
