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.

blues dees is a clash I reckon

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
