Love the front, hate the back. You’d think Hertz might get into the spirit and have a logo that worked for this special jumper.

    Yeah I'm a fan! Just wear the appropriate versions where appropriate. The key is to not clash.

    I don't mind the design but tbh it's the story of the designs that I normally enjoy and makes me appreciate the art/design more.

    Personally I'm torn between appreciation of Indigenous representation and dislike of 'love hearts'.

    As for the flags being on this year, I suspect that's a product of finally resolving the long and bitter legal dispute about commercial IP 'ownership' of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags.

    I believe that we got absolutely everything right in 2021 including our Indigenous Guernsey and that should be our “gold standard” going forward. Once you reach perfection it is hard to emulate.!!

    Long story of the representation of the flags.  In short a few years ago the rights to the flag were sold to a clothing company who decided to exploit it for monetary gain, to the point where they were charging exorbanent fees for the use of the image and not investing it in indigenous programs like they promised. In fact they were threatening to sue people for using the flag without paying for it, which lead to a campaign to reclaim the rights and boycott that company.  AFL were supportive of that campaign and they refused to pay to use the rights.  Last year the federal government bought the rights back and made the use of the flag available for everyone to use again.

    i may have shed a little tear watching that

    i was sure that the kid wasn't going to still be with us

    fabulous he is

    It's such a beautiful story, I'm so glad KC is healthy now.  How amazing is Mali for her paying tribute to her little brother like that!

    I don't know why we don't wear these jumpers as the default, so much better than the default.  I get the history, but this shows history and progress.  Absolutely love it.

    Cannot stand the inclusion of Hertz. If you have time, listen to "The Dollop" podcast when they did a review of the history of the Hertz company.  We really should think a bit more about who we are partnering with as a club!

    The guy who started Hertz was apparently a school mate a long time friend of Ron Barassi, and it’s through that that Hertz has been a long time sponsor of Melbourne.

    Here’s hoping we can do these jumpers proud this year. Our recent indigenous jumpers haven’t seen much onfield success. Need to fix that pronto.

    p.s. That is a magnificent piece of art by Mali.

    A lovely story and a beautiful design.

    Very proud of our players and club.

    The Hertz logo looks like dogs knackers on the back though. Imagine how much better it would look if the colours were at least matched up. 

    On another note, being interstate, we've had foxtel for years and I've always felt a bit bad about funding the Murdoch's. We've at least dropped back to Kayo now, so less money to them.

    That sky news interview with the 18 year old kid that won the million bucks was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen from that channel. And there's a lot to usually choose from.

    I'll find it very hard to listen to the fox footy platitudes being laid out thick for the Doug Nicholls rounds when their sister station delivers such dog whistling stereotype racist BS.

    Ahh good old Sky News. The Australian equivalent of Fox News. They’re soooo far right, they’re almost left 🤣

    • 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.

      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.
