One other bonus of finishing top is that if we keep winning we’ll be wearing our regular guernsey. 

If we lose in the first week we may be forced at some stage to wear the clash strip. I personally like our clash strip but obviously would prefer to wear the navy blue and red. 

Are you happy to wear the clash strip in a Grand Final (no need to answer anywhere, anytime in anything)?

 Of the top 4 teams we’re likely to be forced to wear the clash against Port and maybe Brisbane??? We’d wear navy against Geelong.

if we did lose and were forced to wear the royal blue I could care less as long as we won. 
I don’t even look at the tigers yellow jumper in their win and find it weird. 

 

Happy with it, there is a bit of history to it. At least it isn't some of the others we've had.

Would prefer the Navy, obviously.

I do too. My reason is because on too many occasions I’ve been mistaken for a bombers supporter… excuse me for a sec…  🤮… that’s better. Where was I? Oh yeah, because the navy blue can sometimes look like black.

I love the royal blue jumper, i think it's the perfect away shirt.

If we got to a granny and were in royal blue, i wouldn't care in the slightest because i'll be there in my royal blue jumper.

My son prefers it to our navy blue 😲

We'd be required to wear the clash strip if we become the "away" side vs Port, Brisbane, GWS or Essendon.

But that can only happen vs Port in the prelim, if we lose to Brisbane and they beat Geelong.

We'll obviously be the "home" side in the QF, and the SF if we lose, and the PF if we win the QF.

If we make the GF, even if we lose the first final, I believe the rule is that we get to wear our home jumper because we were the higher ranked side.

Do we lose our rank to Brisbane in the event that they beat us next week and then we end up playing them again in the Grand Final?

Yep. In that case we do.

For this week though, I’m happy that we’re in our original gear and the Lions west their anemic light colored strip. 


My childhood was in the clash strip so I have a lot of affection for it. I think it’s the best one and I wouldn’t be too bothered if we wear in in the grand final.

That saying the navy blue will always be my preferred one. 

Alright, alright, alright.... Let us remember, we are the Royals; so if it came to us wearing our clash strip royal blue, no problem.

It’s be funny to see what Gil would do if we played a home final against Essendon… what clash strip will they put them in? Maybe just skins…

Don’t they (occasionally) wear some sort of grey / charcoal with the red sash?

I hate the royal blue. It reeks of the 70s when we were mediocre. We returned to navy in 1987 and fired up.

Having said that, the royal blue works as a clash strip since it's better than all the alternatives.

Depends on which season is the precedent.

I believe 2015 is the only time this has happened - West Coast finished 2nd, Hawthorn finished 3rd. They played each other in the first final (WC won) and then again in the Grand Final. In the Grand Final, Hawthorn wore its home jumper but white shorts. West Coast wore its then-away jumper (royal blue).

It's unknown territory I think. This tweet shows you that the AFL makes it up as they go along:

The history to it is looooooooosssssing. Year after year.

They'll have to wear their red clash jumper, as they did in 2019 (our only home game against Essendon since 2010 and only our second since 2005:

Personally I reckon the period of 2007-2016 reeks too, but I don't associate that with our navy jumper.

Don't mind our current clash strip (compared to the white / grey ones we had) so not too fazed. But 2 questions:

1. As we've finished top, doesn't it mean we don't have to wear our clash strip if there is a clash?

2. Could we use our indigenous jumper?

Best Clash strip in the league by a country mile.

Love it keep winning and we won't have to wear it problem solved.

The light blue was the change and we were always struggling when it was our jumper.

The navy blue has a much longer history and is associated with the golden era so I wouldn't expect it to be a problem even if you relate it to 2007-16. I know some people are sentimental about the light blue - adopted for early colour TV - but for those of us with a longer history it's rich in bad memories.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
