We need to wear our normal jumper this week

Great Northern Summer
in Melbourne Demons

I really hope the club makes the decision to wear our normal home strip this weekend. 

I have no any issues whatsoever wearing an indigenous strip once a year like years gone by, but four times in a season is overkill. Particularly this one, which is probably the least striking strip we’ve had and just doesn’t look like a football jumper. Mates of mine reckon it looks like a pyjama top and it’s hard to disagree with that sadly.

I know there’s more important things to worry about, but it’s worth making this point.

    I quite like the look of it and what it represents especially in the NT in front of so many local indigenous supporters. I'm sure the boys will be keen to wear it up there.

    But in the end who cares what strip we're wearing just win the bloody game.

    Haven't we only won once wearing it?

     

    That should be enough to consign it to history

    No way will i go near this topic after the savage mauling i copped yesterday.

    Having said that i hope the incoming AFL chief brings in a new dress code. AFL footballers are running around half naked in those tight shorts and sleevless playschool tops regardless of club colours. They look silly. Theyre men so put some clothes on ie rugby and even soccer.

    Carltons away outfit '22 was embarrassing.

    They could wear pink and purple polka dotted mankinis for all I care, as long as we have a win.

    I've made it clear that I don't like this jumper but if there is a time and a place to wear it, it's this one.

    After we lost to Geelong saw quite a few facebook replies having a go at the jumper as if they were blaming it for the loss.

    Wonder if the Geelong facebook replies were complimenting their Retro Jumper for getting them the win aha. 

    At the end of the day we wore it 2 times in the Sir Doug Nicholls Round/s (one away, one home) and then we wore it last week as it was NAIDOC week. Wearing it in the NT seems rather fitting?

    Let's win this week and then the top can rest in neutrality with a 2-2 record.

    Wearing our indigenous jumper shows respect for our hosts and would be most appreciated by the NT government that is footing the bill.    And locals may identify more with the mighty demons.  Hopefully, we have a good stock of them and Narmm merchandise to take to Alice.

    Imagine if Port turn up in their indigenous jumper and we don't:  headlines for all the wrong reasons.

    I doubt this would be an issue if it was in any way half decent looking.

    No issue with the jumper. Can't get over the fact we are playing a home game in Alice this late in the season with top 4 on the table. Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, Brisbane, Freo all ending the season in normal climates and fixtures and we are travelling all over the country. 

    Seriously either do this [censored] early in the season or not at all. I don't give a [censored] what it generates for us financially and I really don't care for the feel good PR component anymore. Great for the community in Round 18 is just as great for the community in Round 10.

    Be grateful if Clarry doesn't play if that's the case. Pink and Purple are not his tones.

    I would prefer we wear our normal jumper more often. I don't reckon we need an ANZAC jumper. Some insignia over the heart is a nice way to commemorate the ANZACs. The Indigenous jumpers showcase Indigenous art which is cool, but we don't need to wear it 4 times a year. 

    The situation is compounded this year because the design is poor and looks like Footscray. Last year's was really good.

    Worn for the Sir Doug Nichols round, NAIDOC week, and our trip to the heart of the nation. Don’t see an issue.

    They are playing poorly, the jumper is seeing the ire as we search for easy excuses and even easier fixes.

    Those who blame the jumper are just being ridiculous and superstitious. Wouldn’t have mattered what jumper we wore last week, we still would have lost.

    The jumper Is pretty awful I reckon but I’m sure some like it. I don’t know why they wear it so often but there’s no way they won’t wear it this weekend. Imagine the carry on if they didn’t…

    Sure, but only one poster has linked performance with the jumper. That's not the complaint most are making.

    This week is likely the last time we'll wear it, there will be a different design next year.

    Don't see the point in complaining about it now other than everyone being extra snippy because we lost last week.

    Because we'll likely wear it 4 times again next year, which many feel is too many.

    It will be a different design next year. Isn't the problem you have with the look of the jumper? That's seemingly the complaint here by those whinging about it.

    Totally agree. In a year that should be all about building our brand, we are looking as if we will have worn an alternative jumper 4/17 rounds. That’s almost a quarter of the season.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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

      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.
