You would think that Thursday night will eventually be switched to a Collingwood home game and the later fixture between them thats moved to the Gabba will end up a Brisbane home game, but for now Brisbane is still listed as the home team so I’ve done that here.

It probably won’t happen but Melbourne in the royal blue clash against GWS would be good.

Based on last year I’m expecting Geelong in blue shorts and Hawthorn in white. I feel like the AFL has worked with Geelong to allow them to wear blue shorts in a few more games and Hawthorn seems to be one.

Ah, well there you go. AFL policy on the run once again

I imagine Thursday night will be Collingwood in black/black v Brisbane in red/white.

I am guessing the Vic kit was the only one put on the plane last Thursday and Round 22 is now a home game for Brisbane

Didn't Hawks wear white shorts vs Sydney at some point as well?

Seems it might be a Hawthorn thing.... Could be wrong.

This Kingy bloke is more reliable than Patrick Keane

 

[its been done]

AFL360 showed the Bulldogs clash guernsey with the Kick for Kids logo earlier tonight

Tomorrow night has now been switched to be a home game for the Pies so Brisbane almost certainly in red/white.

Reckon its a little rough on Brisbane though. It could have still been played in Melbourne but as a Brisbane home game for sponsorship and advertising reasons. National FTA exposure guaranteed for Easter Thursday, but who knows whether that will be the case for the game later in the season.

I hate the red on orange. It would be so much nicer if it was just the white text or at least another coloured background.

Not to mention it'll be a matte texture with the iron-on job. Should look pretty meh

They wouldn’t have home gear with them anyway. They travelled down thinking they would be back in Brisbane last weekend. They’ve even been training in the away guernseys too

same as last year’s?

 

[Heardy_101]

Does that mean the Harvey Norman ads on TV are going to be even louder now, or are going to be played with the Giants Song in the background?

Collingwood's will probably be different because we are with Nike now

If you're going commercialise a day of remembrance at least get it right

Yeah same photo but they bothered to Photoshop the 2020 to 2021 on the ANZAC logo.

Hopefully the real one will fix the gigantic black cutout from the sash and the ANZAC/AFL logo position.

Why do I get the feeling that if this game was against anyone else except Collingwood, Brisbane would still be the home team...

Nah, it seems a really logical straight swap of games.

If they didn't have a double up though, it may have been interesting!
