yeah one of the guys I saw after the game I recognized from the Maggies cheer squad.I gave a big batch away to the cheer squad so there should be heaps at the GF.
Collingwood has two great, contrasting strips. The white shorts rule was at fault on Friday.
Yeah but if we're all adults here and this league is professional then Geelong would just wear white shorts and it would be fine. It's an archaic rule and one that was rightly abandoned in the Geelong v Collingwood matchup for well over a decade before last week.I used to think this, but now am coming back around to the point that neither of them serve the purpose of solving the clash against Geelong (and a few others) if Geelong is at home.
Just as we are arguing here, Geelong should be able to wear whatever the hell they want as a home kit. If that means Collingwood (and Port for that matter) need to come up with some garish all orange clash kit to play against it, then so be it.
True, don't want to get too sidetracked. But it's not a white shorts rule in my eyes. The issue I feel is very aligned to our cause here, as the concept of a club not being able to wear whatever it pleases at home stems from certain Vic clubs being able to pressure the AFL this way and that to not do the sensible thing that every other league in the world does i.e. every team has the right to choose their identity.Yeah but if we're all adults here and this league is professional then Geelong would just wear white shorts and it would be fine.

Anyway, I hate to mar this thread with clash jumper chat.
Lets be honest. This story is all about Eddie yet again telling an opposition club what to wear and thats why its striking a raw nerve here
I hate all the entitlement Eddie has. He’s been great for Collingwood though. Would love someone to do as much for us as he has for them
“And we will elevate our Prison Bars on the national stage when we play the Crows in our home Showdown, acknowledging the deeds of our past heroes and legends in ensuring we could compete in the best competition in the land.
He knows we have already worn it in the AFL yeah? The whole point of the campaign was to regularly see it in the AFL.“And we will elevate our Prison Bars on the national stage"
Eddie E. wrote the speech.He knows we have already worn it in the AFL yeah? The whole point of the campaign was to regularly see it in the AFL.
He's spent his entire life as a sycophant.Eddie E. wrote the speech.
So we'll wear it once in 2020 in a Showdown in a s**t time slot and that's it. Nice going, Dave
Yes, but I'd be incredibly disappointed if we only wore it once next year only for it to be absent again for at least the next 5 years.1 game is still better than nothing ... but I wouldn't be windmilling too ferociously over it.
In our 150th year, wearing it just once isn't an achievement IMO.1 game is still better than nothing ... but I wouldn't be windmilling too ferociously over it.
It's literally the bare minimum. Same number of times as when the AFL couldn't sort out its clash policy.In our 150th year, wearing it just once isn't an achievement IMO.
