Port's gonna take the 4pt deduction, I'm calling it.

The Crows should be in yellow this week regardless of what Port wear.

GWS v Ess will be interesting with giants new jumper.. ideally would be the 'never surrender' charcoal against ess clash but expect it will be this:

Debuting the orange clash at home against a big club?

Have pies been in black or white away to north?

I think the last time north hosted Collingwood was back in 2017 and pies wore white - https://www.afl.com.au/video/73257/...dal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1501935704001

I believe last time we were away to North was 2017 and we wore our clash kit so I'd expect the same to happen this week. North and Collingwood are usually pretty good when it comes to this, both clubs wear white kits when away.

Why would GWS wear their clash in a home game?

 

[Heardy_101]

Nek minnit, AFL makes North wear their away/clash kit and puts Collingwood in their home jumper.

Remember that saga from a few years ago

To sell jumpers

Carlton have worm a Blueout jumper in that game previously.

Clash solved

I should know better than to assume that the AFL would make logical decisions

I think it may have been a club based decision. I think it was a one off .

Looks like Freo v Lions has been switched to be Lions home (swapped with later in the season), was hoping to see Freo in all their purple glory at the Gabba on the weekend in Brissie Red Crow might want to update the location

Will be interesting if they do swap the essendon/gws game. The government is happy to have the games played (with no restrictions on attendace). More interesting is the swans who will be without there coaches, including horse.

why without coaches?

 

[acm21]

why without coaches?

A group of coaches had lunch at the same time as the guy who had been diagnosed. Being a close contact they will likely be out for 2 weeks from last Monday

Update: apparent it was a casual contact and once they receive a negative result (which has apparently occurred) they will be right to go.

 

[acm21]

The gold coast and GWS game times have been swapped around. So GWS is now starting at 210 and Gold coast at 145. Essendon will be on a charter flight in and out of NSW.
