Eagles will wear home/white shorts.... strange they can’t do it in the derby?
Swans clash?
Ess/port ugly match up

Ess/port ugly match up

Ditto Melbourne v Richmond

I can't believe it's round 20 already

Freo's purple is lighter / closer to Royal than Carlton's Navy (black) blue. But wouldn't be a major clash anyway.

Not ideal, but Richmond won't wear a clash against a Victorian club at the MCG.

Despite winning a premiership in our clash, the club hasn't taken to it being anything other than a clash when they don't have an option.
We don't seem to mind wearing it ifwe are told, but we haven't embraced it like Collingwood has

Essendon

That seems to be the only exception - and half the time it is an indigenous themed jumper for the Dreamtime game.

The difference is Collingwood's clash is actually their traditional jumper.

But would love to see the Tigers use theirs more, the unofficial Big 4 / VFL exception thing has to go.

Northorn is such a sweet match-up. It works really well.

Unpopular opinion: I prefer North's blue base to their white base.

I just wish their shade of royal was a smidge lighter. Something about it irks me currently.

Also Pittard in the longie is mint

I agree the best thing norf has ever done with their jumper

It’s just a drop shadow effect, more to emphasise the numbers in the graphic than foreshadowing any physical changes

Swans in clash is a very pleasant surprise!

I'm warming more to Port's silver jumper. I love the emphasis on the black and white chevrons, it just needs to silver to be toned down and it's a winner.

Didn't this happen last year? Or was that just GWS in their away fixture? Or (and most likely) I'm just gone nuts.

Both H&A derbies last year had the away team in clash, but then in the finals they reverted back to both in home. The earlier derby this year also had both in home.

 

[Baird]

Are Geelong's numbers smaller than everybody elses?

It is so inconsistent.

Did GWS' white clash top make for a better or worse clash against Sydney's home top? White vs red & white, couldn't have been good?

It at least saved the orange back vs red back, which is a lot of what is seen on TV.
