Alternate Jumper?

[whitito 187]

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.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,817]

Agreed.

Clash jumpers are the biggest concern of the MFC at the moment.

[whitito 187]

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

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,817]

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.

[Rampaging Demons 1]

is that why we kept kicking it to Port players..... the number of times we kicked it to their chests as though they were a team mate, well......

wouldn't want Sunday's mob to wear the traditional colours!

i actualy like our clash jumper better

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

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

Agree with this

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

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.

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.

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.

[mauriesy 7,287]

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..?"

Collingwood and Essendon are being petulant and self serving.

Maurie has correctly summed up the rest.

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

I should add that the old jumper is an alternate jumper, not the regular one.

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.
