Between 1955 and 1960, Melbourne finished top of the ladder in every season, winning five premierships. Had the Demons not been defeated in 1958, they may have won seven premierships in a row. </p><p>Despite playing in the finals series in 1961, 1962 and 1963, Melbourne failed to reach a grand final until 1964 when the Demons finished top of the ladder again. In one of the most thrilling <a href="/wiki/1964_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1964 VFL Grand Final">grand finals</a>, Melbourne won its 12th VFL premiership in the dying seconds of the game against Collingwood with back-pocket player <a href="/wiki/Neil_Crompton_(footballer)" title="Neil Crompton (footballer)">Neil Crompton</a> kicking the winning goal. </p><p>After the 1954 Grand Final loss to Footscray, no team was able to score 100 points against the Demons until Collingwood in round 5 1963.

Despite this, Melbourne were still the dominant team of the league, winning its first eight games in succession. After having lost just three games, the club's committee made the startling decision to sack Norm Smith as coach before its Round 13 fixture against North Melbourne. Hughes returned to coach the Demons in a losing game, while Melbourne identities, including Barassi took to the media to defend Smith. Smith was reinstated however the damage was done, the Demons would only win one more game and subsequently missed out on finals for the first time since 1953. Melbourne would not play in another finals series until 1987. </p><p>Smith coached two more seasons with Melbourne and a succession of coaches followed trying to reverse the Demons fortunes including <a href="/wiki/John_Beckwith_(footballer)" title="John Beckwith (footballer)">John Beckwith</a> (1968–70), <a href="/wiki/Ian_Ridley" title="Ian Ridley">Ian Ridley</a> (1971–73), <a href="/wiki/Bob_Skilton" title="Bob Skilton">Bob Skilton</a> (1974–77) and <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Jones_(Australian_footballer)" title="Dennis Jones (Australian footballer)">Dennis Jones</a> (1978). Melbourne languished near the bottom of the ladder throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, including three wooden spoons in 1969, 1974 and 1978. Despite possessing gifted players including <a href="/wiki/Robert_Flower" title="Robert Flower">Robert Flower</a> and <a href="/wiki/Greg_Wells_(footballer,_born_1950)" title="Greg Wells (footballer, born 1950)">Greg Wells</a>, the introduction of country zoning and poor management hampered the club's fortunes. Melbourne tried to supplement its list by recruiting older players from successful teams including <a href="/wiki/Carl_Ditterich" title="Carl Ditterich">Carl Diterich</a> who played in two separate engagements with the Demons, the first between 1973 and 1975 and then serving as captain-coach in 1979 and 1980. </p><p>Melbourne's best start to a season was in 1971 when the club was at the top of the ladder after the first round and maintained that position until it lost to <a href="/wiki/Collingwood_Football_Club" title="Collingwood Football Club">Collingwood</a> in round 6. Melbourne was still in second place at the start of the second half of the season but a dramatic slump had them dropping to fifth position five weeks later. They finished with only two more wins and a draw. </p><p>In 1976, Melbourne missed what looked to be an almost certain finals appearance. In the final round, the Demons only needed to beat bottom side Collingwood, and for Footscray to lose to the top side Carlton. The Demons beat Collingwood at Victoria Park but an unexpected drawn match between Footscray and Carlton saw the Bulldogs edge out the Demons for the finals. Melbourne would then fall back into the bottom quarter of the ladder the following season, and in 1979 they suffered the worst defeat in VFL/AFL history, losing to <a href="/wiki/Fitzroy_Football_Club" title="Fitzroy Football Club">Fitzroy</a> by 190 points in <a href="/wiki/1979_VFL_season#Round_17" title="1979 VFL season">round 17</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> although they would beat Essendon the following week. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Frame"><a href="/wiki/File:Melbourne80s.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Melbourne80s.png" decoding="async" width="138" height="147" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="138" data-file-height="147" /></a><figcaption>Melbourne's 1980s shield logo</figcaption></figure> <p>In an effort to attract more members and to improve the club's finances the club legally separated from the MCC, becoming a public company. In 1981, under the chairmanship of Sir <a href="/wiki/Billy_Snedden" title="Billy Snedden">Billy Snedden</a>, and with a public campaign backed by radio broadcaster Derryn Hinch, Ron Barassi returned to Melbourne as coach and immediately appointed <a href="/wiki/Robert_Flower" title="Robert Flower">Robert Flower</a> as captain. When he left the Demons in 1965 it was felt Barassi would eventually return and his arrival caused much excitement and an expectation of immediate success. Barassi set about implementing a 5-year plan for the Demons to win a Premiership, however the Demons finished 1981 with the wooden spoon after winning only one game. Recruits <a href="/wiki/Brian_Wilson_(Australian_rules_footballer)" title="Brian Wilson (Australian rules footballer)">Brian Wilson</a> from Footscray and <a href="/wiki/Peter_Moore_(Australian_rules_footballer)" title="Peter Moore (Australian rules footballer)">Peter Moore</a> from Collingwood would win the club's 4th and 5th Brownlow Medals in 1982 and 1984.

The Demons beat the Bulldogs by two goals with the Hawks beating the Cats by three points in the dying seconds of the game. Both matches took place at the same time, with the Melbourne fans cheering towards the end of the game when news came through of the Hawks win. Melbourne cruised into the Preliminary Final defeating North Melbourne by 118 points and Sydney by 76 points. In Robert Flower's last game, the Demons lead the Hawks by 4 points at the final siren, though Hawthorn's <a href="/wiki/Gary_Buckenara" title="Gary Buckenara">Gary Buckenara</a> had a free kick 55 metres out. But Melbourne Irish recruit <a href="/wiki/Jim_Stynes" title="Jim Stynes">Jim Stynes</a> ran across the mark and incurred a 15-metre penalty, bringing Buckenara close enough to kick the winning goal after the siren. The Demons would try to exact revenge on the Hawks in the 1988 <a href="/wiki/1988_VFL_Grand_Final" class="mw-redirect" title="1988 VFL Grand Final">Grand Final</a> but were trounced by 96 points. </p><p>From 1987 to 1991, Melbourne had five positive win–loss differentials in successive seasons which the club had not been able to achieve since the 1950s. Thereafter things went downhill for Northey, although <a href="/wiki/Jim_Stynes" title="Jim Stynes">Jim Stynes</a> won the Brownlow in 1991. In 1992, the club finished 11th, and Northey was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Neil_Balme" title="Neil Balme">Neil Balme</a> as coach. Balme coached Melbourne into the finals in 1994, but a last game loss to Brisbane saw them drop out of the top-eight in 1995, and the club lingered at or near the bottom of the ladder for most of the 1996 season. </p><p>By 1996, the club was also in dire financial straits. The club's board led by past club champion <a href="/wiki/Ian_Ridley" title="Ian Ridley">Ian Ridley</a> as president decided on the desperate step of a <a href="/wiki/Melbourne_Hawks" title="Melbourne Hawks">merger with Hawthorn</a>. In the ensuing weeks, a passionate debate was fought between pro and anti-merger supporters. In the first few days of this debate, lifelong supporters Mark and Anthony Jenkins met with coterie member George Zagon to form the Demon Alternative – an anti-merger group that was to significantly impact on the plans of the incumbent board. Former player and politician <a href="/wiki/Brian_Dixon_(Australian_footballer)" title="Brian Dixon (Australian footballer)">Brian Dixon</a> and Rabbi <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Gutnick" title="Joseph Gutnick">Joseph Gutnick</a> became the prominent leaders of the Demon Alternative group. The group quickly organised itself into a credible option for Melbourne supporters; however given the support of the AFL and other factors, when the merger issue was put to a vote, a majority of Melbourne members supported the board. In a meeting on the opposite side of town, Hawthorn members rejected their board's proposal and eventually the merger was defeated. </p><p>Gutnick and Mark Jenkins were co-opted onto the club's board in the aftermath with Gutnick later being voted in as president. He put $3 million of his own money into the club, and sacked Balme as coach midway through the 1997 season. In 1998, under new coach <a href="/wiki/Neale_Daniher" title="Neale Daniher">Neale Daniher</a>, the club spent most of the season in the top eight and beat the eventual premiers <a href="/wiki/Adelaide_Football_Club" title="Adelaide Football Club">Adelaide</a> in the Qualifying Final. Melbourne also eliminated <a href="/wiki/St_Kilda_Football_Club" title="St Kilda Football Club">St Kilda</a>, but lost to North Melbourne in the Preliminary Final. In 1999 Melbourne finished in the bottom three. </p><p>In an exciting finish to the 2000 season, Melbourne stormed its way into the <a href="/wiki/2000_AFL_Grand_Final" title="2000 AFL Grand Final">Grand Final</a>, but were convincingly beaten by ladder leaders Essendon. Melbourne missed out on finals in 2001 finishing 11th, but would finish sixth in 2002 to eventually lose its semi-final to Adelaide at the MCG in a controversial ‘away’ game, only played in Melbourne due to the AFL's contractual obligations with the MCG. Captain <a href="/wiki/David_Neitz" title="David Neitz">David Neitz</a> would play his best season winning the <a href="/wiki/Keith_%27Bluey%27_Truscott_Trophy" title="Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy">Best and Fairest</a> award and winning the club's first <a href="/wiki/Coleman_Medal" title="Coleman Medal">Coleman Medal</a> as the league's leading goalscorer kicking 75 goals. Gutnick was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Gabriel_Szondy" title="Gabriel Szondy">Gabriel Szondy</a> as president at the end of the year winning 65% of the members' vote. </p><p>In 2003, Melbourne plunged into new on and off-field crises, winning only five games for the year and posting a $1 million loss. Szondy resigned as president and it seemed that Daniher's tenure as coach was under threat. Melbourne played finals again in 2004. In a seesawing Elimination Final, the Demons lost to Essendon by less than a goal. During the 2004 post-season, Melbourne player <a href="/wiki/Troy_Broadbridge" title="Troy Broadbridge">Troy Broadbridge</a> was killed in the <a href="/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake" class="mw-redirect" title="2004 Indian Ocean earthquake">2004 Boxing Day tsunami</a>, when he was swept off <a href="/wiki/Phi_Phi" class="mw-redirect" title="Phi Phi">Phi Phi</a> island in <a href="/wiki/Thailand" title="Thailand">Thailand</a>. His body was found on 3 January 2005, and brought home. A funeral was held on 20 January 2005 in recognition to the No. 20 guernsey he wore during his playing days. During the 2005 off-season, the whole team travelled to the island in which Broadbridge was killed to build a new school for those struck by the tsunami. The No.20 jumper was then rested for two years. </p><p>Melbourne finished the 2005 season in seventh position but lost the elimination final to Geelong by 55 points. In 2006, after a slow start, Melbourne again finished the season in seventh position. After defeating St Kilda in the second Elimination Final by 18 points the season ended the following week when <a href="/wiki/Fremantle_Football_Club" title="Fremantle Football Club">Fremantle</a> beat the Demons by 28 points. Daniher had become the club's the second longest-serving coach while Neitz became Melbourne's all-time leading goal-kicker on 19 May, surpassing <a href="/wiki/Norm_Smith" title="Norm Smith">Norm Smith</a>'s previous record of 546 goals.

As most of its players were members of the Melbourne Cricket Club, it quickly became the trend for Melbourne players to wear predominantly white clothes, which gave rise to the team being called the 'Invincible Whites'. For a brief period in 1861 and 1862, the club adopted magenta flannel shirts, but these were soon abandoned. </p><p>From 1872, a more standardised uniform was adopted, although it remained common for footballers to wear a mismatch of uniforms. Most footballers had dispensed with wearing cricket whites and were now choosing to wear woollen navy <a href="/wiki/Guernsey_(clothing)" title="Guernsey (clothing)">guernseys</a> which were more suitable for winter play. The Melbourne team distinguished itself with red socks and a red cap. A canvas lace up guernsey was introduced in 1884 which featured a red leather strip down the middle and was worn by players up until 1915. In 1906, some players wore a navy woollen guernsey with a small red yoke around the neck. When Melbourne re-entered the competition for the <a href="/wiki/1919_VFL_season" title="1919 VFL season">1919 season</a>, a standardised uniform was used with a red V on a navy jumper. In 1925, the V was made smaller and raised to the collar with a red horizontal band added to the waist.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_16-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The current club jumper of a red V-shaped yoke on a navy background was first adopted in 1935, and apart from very slight variations over the years, and a period in which royal blue was used between 1975 and 1986 due to the introduction of colour television, the jumper has remained the same. </p><p>The Melbourne clash strip, new in 2018, consists of a retro-inspired home strip of royal blue with a red yoke, including white shorts as worn between 1975 and 1986. The alternate away strip is the same as the home strip, with the difference being the back entirely in red to allow the club to wear a non-white alternate strip. </p><p><a href="/wiki/New_Balance" title="New Balance">New Balance</a> have manufactured Melbourne's on- and off-field apparel since 2011.<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Uniform_evolution">Uniform evolution</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Melbourne_Football_Club&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Uniform evolution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Throughout its history, Melbourne has had different guernsey designs, as follows:<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <table> <tbody><tr> <td><div class="thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width: 120px;"><div class="thumbimage"><div style="width: 100px;
