Are we going to wear a jumper that actually looks different to the Cats this time?

    I thought you were referring to the first demon to go half way over the West Gate on the way to Kardinia Park.

    Hopefully. That new away jumper is hideous and makes it even harder to tell the difference <_<

    dunno why they got rid of the clash jumper used last year

    Because it was made by a different manufacturer. Besides the new one is better IMO

    No it has nothing to do with this, the manufacturers do not 'own' the design. All we'd need

    to do is change the little manufacturers logo (which seems to change every 2 years anyway).

    Either way, lets hope we dont wear that horrible silver monstrosity again tomorrow.

    We should make them wear it or at least no jumper so they cannot disgrace the blue and red for a third week.

    it also has the old logo and that is not acceptable anymore apparantly

    Did anyone see in the paper yesterday that Carlton would be scrapping its white jumper after they play us because it doesn't represent them being the 'Blues'? This was brought about because of member backlash. Maybe if enough of us get angry with the club they'll have a rethink...

    Talking with a carlton supporter he said "we never win when we wear the white jumper"

    Obviously he set himself up there - you can guess what the comeback was...

    "you never win in your blue jumper either!"

    The reason we get a new alternate jumper when we change apparel suppliers is so the new supplier can make some money! If you have the FILA jumper with the bigger V and suddenly a red ASICS jumper is released, you go buy it* because we'll never wear the FILA one again. If you have the red ASICS jumper and they change the logo from an off-centre Demon to an "M", you go buy that* too for the same reason. Finally, when Reebok brings out a silver version, you buy that too*.

    *depending on your current finances, of course!! I'm also a league supporter and the new Storm away jumper is $185 - so at least our ones are moderately affordable in comparison!

    Good on them I say.

    IMO the only time that an alternative jumper should be used is when the two teams are genuinely hard to tell apart. E.g. Melbourne V Essendon.

    i think thats what the club is doing...last year we wore the alternative jumper i think every away game and the club received heaps of angry emails...this year, we for the first time in a while, had an away game and wore the melbourne jumper with the white shorts...i intend the club is only going to have the silver strip for true clashes, ala essendon, carlton

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
