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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
