Richmond confirmed to wear clash strip for Grand Final

[VicPark Bitter]

Did you see the Essendon v Melbourne GF in 2000? The AFL don't want another poor visual spectacle due to both teams in dark based jumpers with a common secondary colour. There should be a clear contrast.

Yes,
i watched the 2000 GF and not once did i think to myself "shit! i can't tell the difference between the two teams"
maybe people don,t eat enough carrots these days?

Did you see the post i was replying to?

I said playing in the yellow and then switching it on the podium is bullshit. Accept the trophy wearing the kit you won it in

Try reading before getting outraged next time

That would never happen. Lol. Why would u bother?

Crap decision. In roubd 4 crows and dons bith wire their tops...no clash. Yet rich and crows clash.
Afl mucked up by allowing new teams into comp wearing similar colour tops.
No teams waring predominantly yellow teal green red for example

Dont you have a cash cow to cheer for?

 

[SterlingArcher]

BUT BUT BUT CORRUPT VIC BIAS

 

[estibador]

Thats crap, you wear what you won in. Jumper swaps os a cheap gimmick

Yeah if we had won in 2013 I wouldn't have wanted them to change jumpers for the presentation.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Looking forward to the riots as promised by some Richmond fans.

Or maybe they'll just move on and be ****ing thrilled they're in a grand final.

There were about 3 or 4 times in that Adelaide Essendon game where a player made a quick direct turnover from a pack because they got the guernseys confused.....

If Channel 7 broadcast the game in Full High Definition, instead of analogue, there would be no reason for Richmond to wear a clash jumper.

The umpires need to wear white though.

 

[HBF]

Who cares.
If they happen to win there's no reason why they can't change into their traditional strip for the ceremony.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Who cares.

Would a Crows GF win somewhat make up for Atlanta?

Any chance the player just made an error that had nothing to do with thhe jumpers??

 

[BK Eaglesfan]

Right decision.

I don’t listen to a lot of what KB says, but his stance on this is so poor that if he posted his views on BigFooty he’d likely be reported for trolling. I get his passion, but a large part of his anger at the decision being that Richmond have been in the competition longer than Adelaide? That’s the kind of rationale that has many ‘interstate’ fans believing the national competition is anything but national.

As for describing the away strip as looking like canaries.....a proud Sandgroper who loved our old SoO jumpers says go and get stuffed.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Interesting, didn't know that, but it isn't a home game? It's just where the GF is played?

Correct.

Adelaide are in fact the Home team.

 

[Andrew Mc]

I bet the idiots put the umps in yellow too.

 

[Poor Form]

You've played your GF

Actually our GF is next Saturday jog on low energy troll

 

[Brutalitops]

Tigers should be forced to wears Jeans.

Agreed. Crows should also be in black tie to denote their higher standing on the ladder.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

You've played your GF

And we won!!

Are you gonna watch the replay next week?

Here are the details, just for you.....

That game was a clear clash. Adelaide when playing in Melbourne against Essendon, wears its clash. Why? Clear clash.

And yet the world continues to spin.

And you'll get hammered

What clash in the 2000 GF? Theres a really simple rule if youre struggling to follow that game. If a player has the footy or the ball is headed towards a someone, then its an Essendon player. And if you saw a player standing around not doing much with a genuinely perplexed look on their face, then thats a Melbourne player.

Pretty straight forward i would have thought.

 

[Poor Form]

And you'll get hammered

I bet you predicted us getting smashed today as well how'd that work out?

 

[Dazzler9]

All clubs be warned. Design a decent clash top, lest you have to use it on the most important day on the footy calendar.
