... I am assuming that cos they wore their away jumpers Saturday and Adelaide were in their tradition home strips that it must have been the Crows home game.

Or maybe some common sense was used.

You are comparing Apples & Oranges.

This is a situation where if Hawthorn chose to wear their home (brown & gold) jumper, then Adelaide has a white clash alternative it could use. If Hawthorn wears its brown & white jumper, then Adelaide does not need to change. It is the home team's choice.

If Melbourne chooses to wear its home red and blue jumper, Essendon does not have a suitable alternative. Same as if St.Kilda wore it's traditional predominantly black jumper.

I agree that the AFL went soft on Essendon when it put forward its alternatives. If St.Kilda chose to whear their white jumper that day, that is fine, but clubs should not be forced to do so. If common "sense" means forcing one club to change for its home games, while not forcing another club to provide a suitable alterntative at all, then it's not very sensible.

THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda
THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
