    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....

    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.

    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.

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

    • 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.
