Lose those rank, pathetic, crappy, red and blue striped socks.

We are the Redlegs-lets never forget it!

They weren't great, but i sure prefered them a lot more than the white clash jumper.

The socks were a great compromise for an away side.

What's with the AFL's clash uniform policy? The biggest consistency is its inconsistency. Last week we play Brisbane, and out of the three jumpers they have to choose from, they wear the one featuring the most red and blue, including red socks! Yet we play GC today and have to change into the hoops. I don't get it. They make it up as they go, the AFL. I mean surely when GC were designing a new uniform from scratch, they could have come up with a kit that didn't clash with a team that has been in the competition from day one - bizzare.

Should we have gone with the old Red sock with blue top like we wore against the swans for a few years?

Or if the AFL did not like that and all blue sock?


The AFL wouldn't know. They think we clash with Port (red & blue vs black, teal and white) yet there's no clash between us and Brisbane's 'Fitzroy' jumper. They'd struggle getting the socks sorted out.

From someone who does this for a living, the uniforms look brilliant from top to bottom, striped socks included.

We look sharp and polished. Now if we could only play that way! :rolleyes:

Totally agree. I'm more concerned with the footy itself - winning games and winning a flag. But I've got to say the uniform including the socks look great. We do look sharp.

Couldn't agree more Strawbs!

We've worn red socks since time immemorial. Some new , highly subsidised club turns up,copies our socks, then we're expected to change our uniform to fit in with them.Red and yellow hoops would have suited them.

Same with Adelaide , who basically pinched our colours. We got them first! They should have to compromise when there's a clash.They had an infinite variety to choose from when they came into being(yesterday!). If they chose to copy our gear, they should have to change when they play us.

We've got the best colours and the best uniform. No wonder they want to copy us.

The Fold Coast look like McDonald's Large Fries containers....they don't clash with anyone!!!!

We've been wearing the red and blue alternative socks against Sydney away for some time now. Haven't heard a whimper for years !

Our socks clashed with their socks, we were the away side...therefore we change ours, simple logic...it doesn't seem to be a huge issue.

Yes, new teams should be forced to adopt uniforms with as limited a clash as possible but we crossed that bridge a while ago, so let's deal with the matter at hand.

Socks looked ok, good enough.

Not greatly fussed but WHAT CLASH ? The yellow tops on the Suns' socks make them sufficiently different, particularly as most players seem to wear them down these days.

They weren't great, but i sure prefered them a lot more than the white clash jumper.

Agree . I hope they stick to that away strip. Makes us look as though we mean business and much more in tune with our traditions. Besides, it is the best looking gear in football.

Isnt the biggest consistency with the afl overall its inconsistency... not just the clash uniform policy. I would send Demetriou, Anderson, everyone on the match review panel, the umpires and Jack Watts to a deserted island

fitzroy fans complained when they play us and essendon that they are 2 games in vic they have to wear clash- when they want to wear old fitzroy red jumper. so afl cave in and let it happen cos clash isnt too bad. sock from lions werent great v us tho

Exactly! Not an issue for me, and I'm sure the stripes would have made it easier for players on both sides.

I just wish our jumpers didn't look pink, quite liked the socks.

I have to agree, I thought the sock looked great. I'd take hooped socks over a clash jumper any day.

It's not Pink...It is BLOOD RED. Yesterdays game showed it up beautifully compared to the fold coast wearing their McDonald's red.

I love the new Jumper. Looks Sharp. B)

They are clash socks apparently. Only worn when we play GC away from home.

We have had a few questions about yesterday's hooped socks. The only time we have to wear these is for away games against GC.

It's not pink, but it's not Blood red either. It still looks a little pinky/purple red rather than a blood red.

Love the look of the new jumper but its still not the right colour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
