I note that several clubs have planned things around retro round this year. Are you getting into the spirit? It’s been a while since we produced a retro jumper. I reckon we had one in 2021. I would love to see more retro gear worn by players, as some other clubs have already done

    I feel like whenever we wear royal blue (aside from the alternative strip) we play like the era that colour belonged to.

    Bloody love seeing people in the crowd wearing their real retro supporter gear.  So much history, and heartache, attached to those pieces.

    Always been a fan of the retro gear. It reminds me of childhood and developing a love of the sport. I always was a fan of the 90s and early 2000s jumpers, in particular the Freo, WCE, PA, Roos and few others.

    I posted in the merchandise thread after the cats dropped their annual kit.

     

    Would love us to take part in the nostalgia

    It’s our Retro Round this week. It’s always really cool to see folks in their 80s/90s gear.

    Love the concept of a retro round except for fitting into my retro gear 😂

    An item of supporter apparel that I bought in the 1980s still fits me perfectly.

    OK, it's a scarf, but the point still stands.

    This version the club sells is horribly overpriced and inaccurate. the yolk never looked like that and the badges are misplaced

    There's no need for badgers on our jumper at all.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
