2017 Grand Final - Who wears the clash jumper?

[blue harvest]

Crows chose to join the comp with a jumper that clashes with Richmond, so they should be the ones to wear something else.

Doesn't matter who finishes higher on the ladder, is that actually written down anywhere as a rule like the home state final rules?

Still think there's no clash? But but but......white shorts!

I can tell the players apart.

#17 is Kane Johnson, and I think it's Daniel Jackson tackling Scott Thompson.

I could tell you that it they were all wearing the same uniform therefore I win the test of eyesight and there is no such thing as a clash.

LOL.

Eagles, Bears, Crows don't join the VFL and Richmond probably disappear.

What should happen: Adelaide wears home jumper plus navy shorts as they finished higher on the ladder, Tigers wear clash with white shorts.
What will happen: Richmond will wear home jumper with black shorts 'due to tradition' and Adelaide will wear clash plus white shots.*

*they would then change into their home kit if they win the flag for presentations.

Always remember you're the lower ranked side and you trail us 23-12 H2H and 9-4 the last decade

Overall wins in VFL/AFL
Richmond = 1124
Adelaide = 337

1124 > 337
Therefore Richmond > Adelaide
That's mathematical proof

 

[Scotland]

Adelaide have won more games since 1991 than Richmond have won since 1983.

Welcome to 2012 where that exact argument made by Essendon was rejected by the AFL and they were forced to create that horrid grey jumper.

Collingwood, as the higher finishing side at the end of the home and away season, has the right to play in its traditional black and white striped jumper.

'Collingwood, as the higher finishing side at the end of the home and away season, has the right to play in its traditional black and white striped jumper.'

And yet they played in the one they've been wearing since 2000. So much for tradition, huh?

Geelong board.

Agree 100% and I bet those here wanting Richmond to wear an alternative would change their mind if it was their club involved.

I had no problem at all with my club wearing our alternative strip in our gf.

I was glad we elected to wear one of our proper strips in its entirety rather than mix and match our purple top with white shorts.

Delusion board.

[estibador]

But that's because my club has been mature about the clash jumper issue and:

a) designed a simple, classic jumper that still reflects the identity of the club, and

b) embraced it as a legitimate part of the identity of the club, rather than an embarrassment to be hidden away in the attic until they're forced kicking and screaming to wear it.

A lot of Vic clubs are at the stage now where they've mastered 'a' but still haven't got their head around 'b'.

Yes. When we were in financial trouble, THE MEMBERS raised the required money.

Maybe things would'nt have been so tight if they'd had two jumpers they could sell for merch. Just sayin'.

How about one team wears their home jumper for a half then they swap over at the break. Toss for who goes first.

Adelaide, as the higher placed finisher, wears their home strip for the first qtr.
At 1/4, 1/2 & 3/4 time, they swap (or not) so that the team that's leading at the break gets to wear their home strip.

As an added bonus, during the game, TV execs, neutrals and theatre goers heads will explode at various points during the game with confusion/frustration.

Best comment of the thread so far

I can live with that

I bet you a medal looks better than a jumper

That's mathematical proof

Here's another proof

Adelaide: 337-2-286 = 53.2% wins @ 107.9 percentage
Richmond: 1124-22-1083 = 49.2% wins @ 100.09 percentage

Yeah, but you ignore one fact

Adelaide was only let into the comp to stop port adelaide coming in, and you couldnt even do that!!!!

So adelaide should be perpetually the away team for all finals for its failure to prevent us having to put up with kane cornes, miming 80's pop songs pre game, and of course "the pear" (even pies fans can speak better than that!)

Actually the AFL desperately wanted us in to help pay their debts, and used Port as a pawn to force our hand.
But I do concede your point that we'd all be better off without Port in the comp. Sorry we couldn't keep them out indefinitely

Adelaide paying a relatively token sum to join the league had little to do with anything. It was just a case of the previous teams had to, so they made you do it too (that and buying your share of the VFLs assets).

The $800,000 from West Coast & Brisbane's entry would have helped
