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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
