This weeks jumper?

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

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.

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

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
