One of those games where neither of Essendon's colours is really acceptable, so short of a non-club colour/third guernsey, you go with the lesser of two s**t options.
Mero's lime green with red sash would work well.

I have long argued this.

The AFL need to bite the bullet and just make every team have a non-club coloured third kit. They'd probably only have to wear it once or twice per season at most

Not every club. The Eagles, for example, have all options covered between royal and yellow.

Bounding roo looking glorious.

I feel the bounding roo looks messy with the blue back.

Agree with this. All white back with a blue yoke above the numbers would look a lot cleaner.
What would they wear when away to Williamstown?

A special "rediculous hypothetical" one-off white with pink wings.
absolutely needs an all white back, ruined a great guernsey!
My God I love this Roos guernsey!

I loved it when for the past few seasons the Roos switched to blue numbers on their traditional strip. Why would you want black? Black is not one of their colours and it ruins the overall look.

What’s with the hellboy horns at the top?
Tradition. Their numbers have always been black. Just like Essendon's numbers have always been white despite it not being one of their club colours.

Essendon's is a practical thing tho - neither red nor black numbers would show up well.
North's were probably black from back in the knitted jumpers with number panel days. The practical issue preventing blue numbers isn't there anymore.

That was bad, but in addition I'm surprised nobody mentioned the white panel, which looked far too thin to me.
Collingwood will not agree to this.
I can see it working with grey as their primary base colour, like the Juve kit I linked.

Late to the party, but think the bounding roo looked messy with the number panel on the back.
In round 6, Port hosts North, and unless North have a third option we could see another repeat of the PBs vs Carlton clash 2013 abomination.
I guess they would be better off wearing the blue home with white shorts (a short swap of the matchup when we play them at Docklands).
