Guessing we will opt (be forced) to wear the white strip on Friday?

That's what i was thinking. Wearing the red against Essendon would be a clash in the eyes of the AFL one would assume, given their track record on demands for clubs.

In place of "Grand Ol' Flag", let's go with The Clash

White riot - I wanna riot

White riot - a riot of my own

White riot - I wanna riot

White riot - a riot of my own

Black (and red) man gotta lot a problems

But they don't mind throwing a brick

White people go to school (Brighton Grammar)

Where they teach you how to [kick]

An' everybody's doing

Just what they're told to

An' nobody wants

To go to jail!

Gutless friggin' AFL: won't give us a home match against Essendon (3 years in a row!) to avoid making a fuss.

Correct weight... They've been avoiding this clash, because the bomber's clash jumper clashes with our home jumper more.

What's gonna happen in a couple of years, when we face off in the finals? Heaven forbid, a grand final. Hopefully, we're in a strong financial position by then that we can stand up to the AFL if they want to force us to wear the clash jumper when we shouldn't have to, like North at the moment.

Having said that, I actually thought the white looked better than the red, however I do agree a red and blue jumper would be ideal...

I still think a reversal of our colours would've been best.

Good point. Overlooked by many.

NOTE: - Maybe Mike Sheahan, Damien Barrett & Co. could highlight this in their next articles.

So what happens we we get a home game against Essendon? Do we wear white again?

No. We wear our traditional Red & blue. Let the AFL cop the criticism and Essendon for not designing a suitable clash jumper v Melbourne; StKilda.

This is what the AFL are trying to avoid.

That could only come from a female LOL :D

Yeah we tend to like it when footy teams support us :rolleyes: .......

But if anyone saw the league this weekend pink was out in force when Penrith played Manly

- it looked like the circus, between the Panthers bright pink kit and the Sea Eagles dying their facial hair!!!

Then they need to toughen the hell up and tell the likes of Essendon and particularly Collingwood to suck it up and get it done.

Yeah I saw that in the fox sports highlights, Very suspect to be honest. I like the support for women but dying facial hair ONLY IN SYDNEY !!!!!

You and Dappa watch too much tv.

He even used the word "chops" in another thread.

I found it easy to pick out my team in the 2000 Grand Final, The AFL are a disgrace with this Jumper Issue.

BTW When do the Sydney Swans EVER wear a clash Jumper????

We should never have to wear a white Jumper. They are the colours of Footscray QED

They don't really clash with anyone......

This is only an issue for those clubs who have very similar colours or designs in their jumper, ie Colllingwood and North.

We are close to a couple of other clubs and therefore we and they should have a jumper organised.

Although I hate the idea of this being used as an away strip that is not needed.

And I also can't work out who Hawthorn clash with?

There is a saying in the fashion industry; only real men can wear pink.

That is all :D

Look I am not comfortable with doing it but if it helps the club..........

Is it some sort of fundraiser...........or protest thing?

Stripping on Friday that is.....anyone :blink:

Thanks Jaded.

I'm quite fond of my collection of "mannish" pink shirts.

Not for everyone mind you, some may not have the requisite complexion.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
