  1. Not quite right, but yes it is a lot of jumpers. Home (navy blue) Clash 1 (navy blue with red back) Clash 2 (royal blue) Anzac Day BCNA (assuming they are doing it this year) Indigenous 160 year
  2. Love the jumper but the names all over it ruin the design.
  3. Having the card sent out prompted me to sign back up straight away. I was always going to renew, this just made it easier especially with the JLT game coming up.
  4. As in he needs bricks to stop hitting it?
  5. That’s an upgrade.
  6. Watching the women's team one thing I really like about their jumper is the fact that the yoke sits a lot lower than the men's jumper: This means that the sponsor and AFL logos don't interfere with design of the jumper as much. In 2010 we had something similar, albeit the yoke wasn't as sharp as it could be: It would be good to go back to something like the women's / 2010 men's jumper for future.
  7. I liked it at the time but looking back it was a mess. We should never have changed from this one: At the very least we should have just tweaked it like we did for this clash jumper that lasted about five minutes:
  8. I'm not totally keen on a royal blue clash, I'd prefer a predominately red one but it's better than white.
  9. Breast Cancer Network of Australia, the pink jumper.
  10. From DEMONS22 at BigFooty: "I have been advised that Melbourne will have the Red Back Clash, A Royal Blue Clash, BCNA, Anzac, Indigenous & Standard Home. New Front Sponsor to be announced shortly, back sponsor to remain ISelect."
  11. The Ghan was brilliant.
  12. I cannot believe anyone allows their kids to support other teams.
  13. From watching his highlights (which now makes me an expert) he'll be getting a game sooner rather later. Carry on.
  14. He will be a better forward than Watts.
  15. I trust Taylor but we have a lot of key defenders now.
  16. Just like how at the start of the year he wasn't suited to Goodwin's game style according to some here. By the way, I can't edit my typo which is frustrating.
  17. That second game was brilliant, I just love seeing Jetta play so well alongside the other stars of the game.
  18. If only Trengove was at Melbourne for multiple years with Watts then it may have helped Watts become a more professional player.
  19. This. If I was the AFL, I wouldn't want as many white clash jumpers. I can understand teams that have white as a main colour using a white clash jumper but one of the great attractions of the game is the bright and colourful jumpers. It's taken them a long time but West Coast now realise this and have an yellow clash, Richmond's yellow clash is great and Adelaide's was excellent this year (sadly they are going back to white next year).
  20. I listen to a lot of podcasts now, in no particular order here's some of the better ones I've listed to: Serial (both seasons) Black hands Trace Dirty John Crimetown How I Built This Reply All S-Town Anything by Gimlet seems to be good, very polished and the hosts are always excellent.
