Alternate Jumper?

Featured Replies

Posted

Just wondering why we "played" in that hideous clash jumper?

Surely when it is not required we should stick to our traditional strip.

So the Eagles bring the wrong strip and create a clash...we decide to wear our other strip when we dont have a clash!!

Rudderless at best.

I realise we have bigger issues....but at least play in our own frickin jumper!!
 

Maybe we wore it as Port have a dark colour in their strip - like us.

Bit surprised we brought the red strip out, but there is so many other things to worry about at the moment.


 

I like the red strip as well. It wasn't our home game so my care factor is zero.

Anything else to criticise the club for? Their choice of boots? Maybe the length of their shorts?

Geez ... it was an away game. That's what alternate strips are for. Start raining on Collingwood and Essendon for their weak attempts.

the clash jumper is OK but should be worn for the 2-3 "Away" games when there is actually a clash ie essendon,carlton maybe Stkilda

Definitely against Adelaide as well. Not sure why we were wearing it against Port but I still like it better than our Heritage guernsey!

I support the AFL on the whole concept of clash jumpers and have a go at Essendon and Collingwood supporters for not digging their head's out of the sand to see the sense in it, so I've declared my bias. That is why, for the life of me, I couldn't understand why West Coast wore the guernsey they did on Friday night. Two teams wearing all royal blue FCS :blink:

I heard that WCE brought the wrong jumpers recently, presumably this week.

Was waiting for the posts from those who wanted to stone to death our property steward, but didn't see any.

Yes it was an away game, but why on earth play in that jumper for No apparent reason? I respect Collingwood and Essendon for standing up for themselves. We just roll over on and off the field.

Its our 150 next year, shouldnt we look to maintain some sort of heritage? Keep the jumper the same unless its a clash. It is not that hard a concept to comprehend.

Heritage Jumper,

It follows our tradtional design, It's part of our history & and it's ten times better than an all red jumper.

Heritage Schmeritage. I'd much rather have players recognising each other in an instant on the field. Don't suppose you saw two players handball directly to the opposition in the Eagles v Dogs game on Friday?

We have plenty of other opportunities to wear our normal jumper (which is not the same as when we started 150 years ago anyway).

Agree Rogue.

It just did not suit those poster's self serving angst.

At least we could have got "That's just typical of the unprofessionalism of that Club..?" :rolleyes:

Collingwood and Essendon are being petulant and self serving.

Maurie has correctly summed up the rest.

Has anyone else noticed that Bate wears a jumper from last year? It has the old Primus logo on it and I've seen him wear it twice now.

I haven't noticed that, but its a pretty good observation

I did see that on Friday night, and for that reason they should have worn a clash jumper.

Are you telling me players cant tell the difference between red and blue versus black white and teal??

At present the MFC gets pushed around at will.

There was no good reason not to wear our normal jumper.

You should tell that to the AFL. Its their call and their reasons remain a mystery

Under the rules it is the AFL's prerogative to tell Clubs when to wear the alternate strip or not. They instructed MFC to do so.

It is not the MFC Footy depts choice and I understand that they were not happy with it either.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
