HaHaHa! Yes let's check the Betfair odds....It is only the practise matches so i am not going to get fired up about the Clash strips yet.

BUT I WILL!!! Last weeks game with Essendon & St.k was just outrageous as far as this on going debate goes.

The AFL have no strategy with this issue.

After thsoe games there really isnt a debate any more..Its a total farce. Any words from Fortress-Vlad must simply be allowed to run down the drain,

Clash jumpers must be white.. but jumpers are black,,,, or blue or a handful of other colours but we cant have red...but...but....but.

Were just wasting our breath

Personally i would like to send "Rampaging" Roy Slaven down to see Vlad & co.

Roy would sort them out within minutes, wouldn't hear another peep out of 'em all season (until Brownlow Night!!)

I thought we were going to wear the clash strip in each game, like we do in most/all pre-season comps.

Pretty sure the clash strip is also our NAB cup/challenge strip.

It means we have to see more of it but it also means more exposure and therefore more $$$ in jumper sales. It's a necessary sacrifice I think.

If that is the case (and I vaguely now recall this might be the case), then my opinions held within the Demons v Bombers thread on this very issue shall be superseded.

I remember reading somewhere when I was trying to find out what was going on with the pink yolk that we would be wearing the clash strip for the NAB cup. I guess they're trying to get us used to it as quickly as possible.

I also vaguely recall the AFL last year requiring Essendon to produce a clash jumper for the 2011 season (that wasn't the widened sash). Haven't seen a clash jumper yet, nor heard a peep out of the AFL. If they get away with out having one for another season then the AFL is a farce.

Surely for Essendon it's quite easy to just reverse the colours?

Doesn't look great, but no clash jumper does.

It's good enough.

I agree, but I'm sure I read somewhere that in the requirements of a clash strip there has to be an large amount of white?? Could be wrong

I'm not fussed at all to be wearing the clash strip. I am that the AFL can't see or rather care about the clashing umpy strip.

Has turned anything they (Vladland) say in this regard to a nonsense.that is all

I've thought the same for a while - for all teams. Makes it a lot easier and gets rid of all the stupid white jumpers! Fair enough for the likes of sydney, freo, carlton, collingwood etc where their secondary colour is white, but would like to see our away strip being red again. Anyway, all been done to death already!

You are right Demonator done to death and I don,t mind the latest white away strip.

You never know it might be red one day and not pink.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
