Never worn a jumper other than the prison-bar stripes eh ? The site footyjumpers.com discloses they played Swan Districts(WAFL) in a 1982 inter-club Escort Cup match in a all white jumper with black yoke. Only bothering to mention this because Eddie and co [censored] this myth to death and refuse to submit a REAL away strip and just tinker with stripe widths.

    Do you feel better now? You should have posted this on a Collingwood forum, then reported the results. Now THAT would be an interesting thread.

    Now while you're smashing conspiracy theories tell us who shot JFK and if Warren Jones really had W tattoed on his buttocks.

    They wore the same thing in a preseason game in the late nineties or early 2000s. Their justification, I think, was always that it wasn't a real game...

    What I still struggle with is the AFL who have this major thing about white clash strips allowed Collingwood to create a number of clashes by changing their guernsey from their traditional white back/black numbers to a predominantly black guernsey around 2001. Up until that time the only conceivable clash was with Nth Melbourne on black and white TV. Now they clash with basically any team with a predominantly black jumper. Collingwood just need to wear their traditional guernsey (the one which is now their clash jumper) at all games except when they play North (then they can wear the dark one they wore yesterday)and maybe Geelong then they will not be involved in any clashes of strip.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
