The Clash Strip That Wasn't

Bh the prospect of the Dees playing in a GF seems like a decade away.

To get the Dees into a GF I would be happy with pink and purple polka dots.

Seriously For a GF appearance and win I would be very happy with that strip.

What they wear means very little to me in these times.

I would just love a side with the ability to make one no matter what they wear.

Fair enough.

Our colours and iconic jumper still mean much to me and I suspect they always will.

    Must agree BH.

    Seeing the demons run around the MCG in a red white & Blue jumper makes me angry. Very angry.

    Gee wyl why waste your anger on the clash strip.

    It is at the bottom of my Anger list

    Unlike some of previous examples this one is reasonable.

    Because they represent the colours of my club. Not Footscray.

    Good thought we should amalgamate with the Dogs

    The result might give us a chance at scrapping into eighth place!

    It's simple, there was a clash yesterday. Both teams have a clash strip, just so happens that ours clashes with their original strip. At least one occasion Blease mistook a saint for one of ours and passed it to him.

    Any clash should be eliminated where possible. The solution yesterday would have been for us to wear our traditional jumper and the Saints to wear their clash strip, doesn't matter whose home game it was, that was the solution, the AFL failed.

    Spot on. I turned on the TV and couldn't believe my eyes. It was hard to follow and one goal came from it without doubt. McDonald crossed goal clearly thinking it was only Dees in sight.

    This ranked up there with the Umpire outfit debacle.

    The strips are too close but both teams normal jumpers dont clash at all.

    Am sure I saw a Melbourne player look to handball to a St Kilda trainer who was in white in the first quarter.

    If we have to wear white, then the opposition trainers should not be allowed to wear white.

    There are two issues. Firstly the thread is about the illogical point of wearing a clash strip even though it clashed with the opposition and our normal jumper wouldn't have; so even if you like the clash strip it was nonsensical; and secondly, I would hate my club to wear anything other than our iconic jumper on GF day. Unfortunately there are no guarantees this would be the case.

    But the first point is the point of this thread.

    Hate the white, we are red and blue, when I started following as a kid we wore royal blue with the red yoke, this does not clash with essendon, carlton, richmond, meth coast home, port or saints as sides wearing dark strips.

    If anyone at the club is reading please can our alternate strip be Royal blue jumper with red yoke, white shorts & red socks

    For all other games back to our traditional navy blue & red

    It may make visual sense , but for those of us who survived the hideous '70's , the Royal Blue "colour tv " jumper makes us shudder !

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
