Essendon Changes Clash Strip - what about us?

Frankly I question why we need a "clash" jumper and why we should be treated any different to Collingwood. We are the original (oldest) footy Club so, if the AFL in their wisdom (sic) feel anybody clashes with us, (which they don't) then let them wear a "clash" jumper.

    I love the Collingwood comparesment, they have a black jumper with white stripes or a white jumper with black stripes. If you actually look at them next to each other they are different in how dark they look especially with black or white shorts. 

    So collingwood do wear a white away strip. It just looks close to their Home due to its only reversed.

    and seriously other than some Melbourne fans, who gives a fruitcake that we are the oldest club??? No one. Wouldn't even cross their minds.

    also, what was our original jumper? What was our original name? How about the jumper I grew up following? All changes we made.

    Actually I would prefer to go back to black and white shorts which would be much more effective in the current age when there are no longer mud patches in the centre square and goal squares. Coupled with our red socks, why do we need a "clash jumper" (which often has the reverse effect of increasing the confusion)?

    Given that the demon shop shows only the white jumper and it is listed as 'Away Jumper' it seems the red jumper has been binned. We only wore it once last season. The AFL have rules for some and rules for others. No surprises here.

    interesting to note that when they designed the logo they were keen to avoid any white in the logo, yet we roll over on the white jumper. That irks me. We should be allowed to invert our jumper and wear with white shorts. It won't happen though

    The bit I find bemusing is that, apparently, Essendon can have a clash jumper with just red & black, whereas Hawthorn, who are also in the news relating to their clash jumper, reckon they have been told theirs must be predominantly white.

    Go figure...!!

    Makes perfect sense. Hawthorn's gold and brown stripes clearly clash with Geelong, Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda, Bulldogs, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Fremantle, Gold Coast, GWS, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Richmond and maybe West Coast if you somehow can't differentiate vertical stripes from a jumper which, well, doesn't have vertical stripes.

    Conversely, a predominately white jumper could clash with Collingwood, Geelong, St Kilda, North Melbourne and Sydney. What nonsense.

    The EFC should be required to have a mosaic of white needles on their sash.

    And, Barrie, of all the jumpers in the AFL Hawthorn are guaranteed never to clash with anything.

    Who would choose colors remotely resembling those.

    As with all things AFL, it is all about marketing and screwing $$$$ out of fans and families

    I agree 100%, Mono.  Their strip clashes with nobody.  So, as you say, it can be only about $$$$...!

    • 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.
