IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN ROUND!

Standard Big 4 clash tonight. Carlton's white jumper would be ideal here.

 

[its been done]

Would be a great opportunity for Melbourne to wear their Reverse Retro that they wore in the pre-season against Freo again

 

[Andonis1997]

One of the lesser evils, this Big 4 jumper clash.

 

[Supercheapgiants]

St Kilda likely to wear the Candy Stripe this week, making it worn 4 of the last 5 games of the year

Surprised we’re not wearing a special “THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING DADSY KENNY WE WOULD’VE FOLDED WITHOUT ALL THOSE PRELIM LOSSES” guernsey this week tbh

FFS North just wear white shorts already.

If the Crows "have" to wear white shorts (same with Richmond the other week) then just put them in their away jumper.

Or, using the Gold Coast Gather Round game as an example... No white shorts at all. Surely it's not that hard.

Or even both teams in coloured shorts would be fine.

Crows in white shorts is so stupid.

It's the 3rd best available option.

I may be the only one who thinks this, but crows in white shorts in this matchup is really nice. Gives the same vibe as the 98 grand final, and I feel like isn’t too much a colour problem.
Obvs navy shorts would’ve worked so much better, but either way I’m fine with today

The best matchup in the comp. Haven’t seen it since the 200 game in 2023.

Also saints what is the point of having 2 away jumpers if you’re not gonna use them. Should be in white kit

Is this like a roadmap of Footscray or something?

Brisbane home, Hawthorn away is an underrated match up. No clash and good pops of colours from both.

Brisbane home, Hawthorn away is an underrated match up.

It feels like Brisbane v Hawthorn at the Gabba only happens once every five or so years.

I'd like to see us wear our home jumper with white shorts when we play away games against them in future.

You’d be about right - between Rd 6 2008 and Rd 23 2025 the Hawks played just 3 games at the Gabba!!!

So much for equality in the draw, hey.

But I digress...

One season in, I still think red-on-red sucks for Gold Coast. I don't want them going to pink, but this jumper ain't the saving grace it was meant to be.

It's definitely been a major backfire for them. The Pink has been more of a saving grace for them than their home jumper.

I do wonder if they'll tweak it next season or the season afterwards and change their red on red to gold on red.

Anyone know why there was a yellow and pink ball used last night?
