Why stop there, I want to see Damian Drum out on the ground as well.
Bugger that, put him at FF.

The best jumper we have ever had was Luke McPharlin . Jeez he was good. ( buries head back in whisky while turning up the volume of 2013's qualifying final )
Just saw this.
I am happy we are wearing purple more. It annoyed me in recent times when we didnt wear purple for away trips against Collingwood, North, GWS, GC, St Kilda. As those teams shouldn't clash with the purple.
The only clubs we wore purple on the road were Sydney and Geelong

Oh so now it’s acceptable to wear the purple with white.
Wonder if they would’ve revisit that decision for 2013 GF. Purple with white shorts was on the table, if I remember correctly.

Imagine retro round 2022.. they bring this back, almost certainly will see it worn more then the Chevrons by the fans
That and the 99 3D away. Would go busters for one of those

They’ll make us wear the white strip against Adelaide, Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Melbourne, Port, Richmond. Probably against WB and WC. Possibly against GWS and maybe Hawthorn.
That leaves Sydney, GC and Geelong as definites for the purple / white shorts combo. Do we play them all away? I don’t think we’ll be seeing much purple on the road this year tbh.

So happy with the move to the away purple strip. Fortunately most of the lads out there now days wear the socks down, cause the white strip with the white socks pulled up with purple rings around is a shocker. Right up there with the Hawthorn power rangers kit
Grass that marks the ball then windmill kicks it through the goals to the surprise of everyone.…. Because it was one of our players.

I wished we moved to that jumper.
Lots of clubs change their jumpers every few years. Hope from move away from the current one back to the purple haze jumper.
It looked awful today. We went from having one of the best home and away kits to looking like an abomination. Let's never do that again, especially in the finals coming up.

It just looks so f**king messy. On the long camera or down the ground shots it's just a mass of dark top, light shorts and light top, dark shots.
The way the AFL lets the Vic clubs treat the clash rules is a blight on the comp and I hate that we've joined them in making it look like an amateur clusterf**k.

Yeah it's still not a good look, lucky we only did it for 1 game
AFL probably put a stop to it in others that I was worried about like the Cats game, thankfully common sense happened there

I reckon it looks great and hope we continue with it.

Only upside is that the Programmed logo looks better than the Woodside logo on purple.
Otherwise it's just unnecessary, the black GWS shorts and purple jumpers have the potential to confuse in the heat of the moment.
