And whilst these are my predicted matchups, there is still the chance for some really, really, yucky matchups...

Gold Coast in their eagles jumper against GWS

Gold Coast in their eagles jumper against GWS

I have a 90% feeling that we will see it if those two run out on grand final day, and it scares me way too much

I would also have GC in their yellow strip vs Adelaide and Brisbane.

We don't think the 'fearless' Suns will want to wear their pink kit?

slightly off topic but what is the point of a clash policy if it just gets ignored in finals

Why are crows in white shorts vs brisbane?

Why are crows in white shorts vs brisbane?

This. Brisbane would either end up in home/white or either of their away jumpers.

This thread also ignores the possibility of the Crows losing to Collingwood, and going through to play them again in the GF.

Ah, welcome! You must be new to the AFL. Where shall we begin...

I really don't like seeing Brisbane in Fitzroy v Adelaide, terrible clash in my opinion. Either Brisbane or Adelaide in home with white shorts would work, just felt Adelaide being the one would make it look better

Just my opinions, though knowing the AFL it would be Brisbane in fitzroy

To which they would still be the higher ranked side? Unless that rule has changed I have been under the assumption for the last three years that the highest ranked side is always the home team

Adelaide would still be the higher ranked side, but this is Collingwood we're talking about.

If the Collingwood Magpies are the Home Team:

I'd put Collingwood in white shorts against Hawthorn, GWS and Freo (all of whom would be in full home).

No different to 2017, collingwood wear the clash guernsey every second week in away games, better be happy with it on GF day

I'd put Collingwood in white shorts against Hawthorn, GWS and Freo (all of whom would be in full home).

Defo not freo, both teams showed that with freo in white shorts the other year that their jumpers are way too dark to go against each other. GWS I'd assume would be more than ok in their clash

It's still a conundrum if the top team loses and then still goes through. Collingwood would play every card to avoid wearing their clash.

If it's Crows v Lions surely we'll be playing in our away jumper.
