Essendon playing tonight in their wide red stripe jumpers. So you guessed it .. Umps in red shirts and black shorts!!

Surely they could have worn green ? Is it really that hard !!!

My old "Clash" arguement again....it is a rule only enforced on a few.

All umpires should wear WHITE as they did for about 100 years....

In other news, Brisbane are disgraceful.

It' pretty obvious isn't it? The umpires have worn red and black in every game. Red and black are the colours of the NAB logo, it's stupid but we are talking about the AFL here so no one should be surprised.

Good point CB, didn't think of that, you are spot on.

Given Essendon has home ground advantage in the next game for the second time in a row, I assume that, for the sake of fairness, Melbourne will wear its traditional strip while Essendon will wear that "away" strip?

BTW, where's the "white" on that "away" strip?

Exactly right. If red is a "light" colour then we should be able to stick with a red & blue only clash strip. If red is not a "light" colour then Essendon should be forced to adopt white in their clash strip.

But the whole thing is a joke really we don't need clash strips anyway.

And as for the umpires; if they insist on wearing colours and not stick to plain white then why don't they do the obvious and wear green every game. No other team has green in their guernsey's now that Freo has gone purple with white. It has the added bonus of blending in with the grass therefore making them easier to ignore if you are that way inclined.

Perfect time to sack Fevola.

Got it in One. Gonna be great on Thursday when we play bombers. There will be so much RED out there.

So..the Umps couldnt have wornwhite with NAB logos ???? way too hard I know !!

The clash argument is just farcical. The AFL are providing all the evidence to see.

Pick a dif colur AFL...ffs ...
