Discussion 2023 Fixture

[George]

Don't really care that it's not Collingwood and definitely a better chance of beating the Bombers than the Pies anyway.

Hopefully the 150th year guernsey looks decent

Funny if true

It won't be the 1873 jumper given it's black and red.

Our home game - the away team can avoid the clash, which is the way it should work.

I think this fixture shows the AFL's utter contempt for the St Kilda FC... we have very little history with Essendon compared to Collingwood where we have played classic finals and grand finals and played our first ever game against them.
If not the Pies then I'd prefer Geelong or even Carlton.
And... our game against Collingwood in Adelaide? On top of a Sunday Twilight opening game against an interstate franchise. They're doing everything they can to keep our crowds down and our club irrelevant.
This is a disgrace.

Certainly no Friday nights before about Round 10 I would think. Also a good chance we are interstate at Easter.

Essendons clash is just a red jumper.

Essendons clash is just a red jumper.

Then they cause the clash.

So when we play coll in Adelaide is that a coll home game ?
Would ve been nice if it was one of the interstate teams home game on neutral soil.

Pray its not a wet weekend in Adelaide if we dont want the AO to look like 1965 Glenferrie Oval by the time our game rolls around

I'd be leaving Gresh at home for that one... don't want him getting his feet stuck in the mud with all his side-stepping.

A knee waiting to happen. Idiotic idea to copy the thugbies. The only way they can draw a crowd is to have all the teams there.
We got 4.40 on a Sunday, FMD

Gather Round

That’s the original 1897-1911 guernsey, just with numbers added.

It’s the guernsey we wore between 1912-1914 before we went red yellow and black for the war years, and before the jumper as we now know it appeared in 1924.

I’d be floored if the 150 guernsey isn’t something harking back to this.

Disagree that it's an idiotic idea, I love the idea. I just don't think we need 5 games at the Adelaide Oval that weekend. Why can't they spread them out a bit more. I doubt the Pies vs Saints game will get more people than what they can carry at one of the SANFL grounds.

We also wore the same jumper in the 96 Centenary game v Collingwood

Is this the game?:

We did, but I think we could execute it much better than we did.

It’s also pretty much the “Moorabbin” guernsey from a couple of years ago… minus the names.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Essendons clash is just a red jumper.

Haven’t they also got that awful grey one?

Sure is

Yeah, IMO the best jersey we've ever had is that pin stripe one

I’ve still got a Jason Gram match worn version.
