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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
