Amazing that Collingwood have been allowed to wear their predominantly black jumper against Carlton tonight. AfL have.rules for some

It has always been that way. The strong rule. The weak merely exist.

hence my initial point. we need to stand up on this issue

agreed we can't wear red as a clash because apparently it is dark in colour but Suns red is not dark when they play us

Pies wear their dark jumper against Bombers traditional strip on Anzac day

I say give them nothing it may be a small issue but stop being a pushover

I, too, was gobsmacked to see the Pies wear their predominantly black jumper against both Essendon & Carlton over the past two weeks. In both games they were supposedly the away team. I really don't see why they would be upset about wearing the mainly white one. As Eddie once said, their home jumper is black with white stripes, and their away jumper is white with black stripes. Both look good from a club point of view, but the mainly white one (with the mostly white back) is quite acceptable as a contrast to the Essendon & Carlton jumpers.

Yep, as it was made plain in the classic "Animal Farm", we may all be pigs. But, not all pigs are equal...!!

I reckon our club which actually represents the city of melbourne and it's environs should be able from time to time wear the jumpers of the dear departed teams aka Fitzroy and South Melbourne as a way of honouring old er Melbourne clubs. Now stay with me on this, we could become Melbourne United and stick it up that jumped up soccer club melbourne city.

Also it would at least partially solve our clash jumper issue.

I love how people get so up in arms over this.

Do you think we should not be wearing pink next week?

It's not our colours or our jumper?

I think it has helped growing up with English football and to a lesser degree NFL.

Why they may change there away strip but I have followed Everton since 1976 and they have always worn Royal Blue jerseys and white shorts, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wolves, Leeds etc etc they have not changed in that time all still wear the same as they have for years.

The new owner of Cardiff City who the fans want out, came in 2/3 years ago and changed their crest and colours the colours are very important to fans the world over.

and in regard to NFL do a little search on how important it was to the people of Cleveland when the Browns moved to Baltimore and tried to take the name with them, hence the Baltimore Ravens

Perhaps the worst idea in the history of footy.

Yep understand, but we are talking about an away top, not a home top except for a one off every year for cancer.

I meant that people get all antsy about a away top, does not worry me.

Don't mind the white jumper! 2 wins and 2 games against Saints and GWS that we very well could've won with a bit of luck. 0-3 in home games in the red and blue!

Decision is made tm

Red white and blue is now our main jumper.

Out with the read and blue we have spent 50 years losing in that one.

Having a guernsey that was too similar to the Saints guernsey, did not help.

Collingwood did not want to move away from black and white, so they settled upon their white jumper with black stripes, which solves their problems.

If you think wearing white 'makes us look weak and reduces morale' then you obviously don't watch us play. If you did, you'd realise that our ineptitude is what makes us look weak and destroys morale.

Wearing white has nothing to do with anything. It only angers people like you who personally don't like it. The other 99% of the AFL world could not care less.

dear mr tight bottie you missed the point entirely. What makes us look weak and reduces morale is the fact that the club's weak administration allowed the afl to bully them into wearing an assortment of jumpers, particularly when there is no real clash unless you are half blind. A couple of years ago when we played the doggies the umps wore a similar colour to our players, resulting in some of our players aiming hand passes at them!

    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,
