Would have thought Red was closer to Purple than white was

It's not about what is closer, it's about what clashes.

Our red jumper would not clash with Freo's purple jumper.

I think I read somewhere that our first preference is to wear the red, and to only turn to the white where the red clashes. In essence the white is our 3rd kit.

lol... four different shades of red on the homepage.

I thought I would ask if my avatar colours were acceptable, but I can see myself that the blue is the old blue, you know three blues ago or was that 4.

When Freo play Gold Coast the Suns wear white

I never liked the color purple.

It gave me the blues .

Especially at the end.

I would have thought:

Home jumper

-Collingwood, Geelong, GWS, GC, Hawthorn, North, Richmond, Sydney, Dogs

Red

-Carlton, Fremantle, St Kilda (even though I don't think we clash), Port, West Coast

White

-Adelaide, Brisbane, Essendon

I would wear the white against the dogs.

There's too much red and blue in the dogs jumper which I think causes a minor clash.

How about the swans if they play away? I can't recall seeing them in a clash jumper (ever)

I think you'll find no other side wears white as a home jumper hence no need to change

I have never understood the reason for clash jumpers.....I didn't have a problem with it watching mud splatted players on bogs of grounds, even the TV replays in black and white.

We now have Digital TV's which display clearer and detailed pictures and play on perfectly manicured grounds and we are now told that we are so dumb that we cannot tell the difference between players.

Give me a break

Yep I'm a traditionalist too. They can keep the National comp but bring back Ressies games before main matches, completely shove the music between quarters and if I'm being completely picky I would like a return to L Vs M updates on the scoreboard which you then had to consult the record to see who L and M were.

The more entertaining they attempt to make it the less I enjoy the experience. Go Dees

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
