Should Port Adelaide Surprise Everyone Tomorrow Night in the Prison Bar Guernsey?

[Tzatziki_Man]

Some interesting idea here by Kane Cornes. Surprise everyone and rock the jumper, the crowd will go ballistic and give them maybe that extra 1% to beat Richmond.

Throw a towel over the channel 7 cameras as Kane Cornes says, and surprise everyone. I think he may be overstating how much of a difference it will make to the result, but as a fan of good theatre, comedy and drama. This has the writings of a Greek Tragedy or Triumph.

Eddie's reaction either way will make for excellent TV too.

Probably the most stupid thing I’ve heard from Kane Cornes and that’s saying something. If you are relying on a jumper to be the thing that gets you over the line in a preliminary final than you’ve already lost.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

It takes more than cheap gimmickry to win a flag. If Port did that, and lost the game, they'd be open to more ridicule than the Crows got for their aggressive pre-match line-up.

 

[Dinsdale]

It would be nice to see Eddie's fat head explode, but I dont think it will happen.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

I mean it’s a cool conception (surprising port fans) but in a billion dollar industry, it won’t happen

 

[Do the Dew]

No qualms whatsoever if Port did this. Respect of heritage is important. As long as they let us know beforehand so the Tigers could wear our normal jumper instead of the predominantly yellow away strip.

 

[Jakksynn]

I want this just for the sense of theatre it would give. And the drama associated with it. But this type of thing just doesn’t happen

 

[Bostonian]

It's not their regular jumper so no.

They already have home and away strips to wear.

 

[Wavvey]

"Imagine the dread on the faces of their Richmond opponents as the gaze to the other end of the stadium and see the black and white jumper staring them right in the face."

Hahahahahahahahahhhaahhahahahhahahhaa

Like the last time it happened and he was out bodied by Jake Neade.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Has Kane Cornes lost his mind?

What did he say about Jesaulenko? Said it wasn't that good, Goddard's was better and it's hyped because of the Collingwood/Carlton factor and the commentary. Believe he followed up with 'great moment but not the greatest mark, Jeremy Howe does it every week' or something. Jezza's daughter and...

If only Kane could get trapped in a burning building.

 

[NorthernBastard]

I think that the traditional South Australian pre match "Power Stance" would be a good way to get into Richmond's head

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

It's not the stupidest idea in the world....

Actually no, on second thoughts, it probably is.

no.

nothing against ports prison bar, personally wouldnt care if it became their home game jumper. but we cant say that the afl should get off their ass and just make clubs like collingwood, essendon make proper clash jumpers, and then say port should do whatever they want.

afl makes the rules, afl should be telling the clubs what they can wear home and away, and eddie/koshie can go suck it.

Essendon has a clash jumper, collingwood does not.

While I don’t like Kane, gee that’s a poor thing to say.

Essendon have one.

 

[Damon_3388]

As a Collingwood fan, I couldn't care less.

As a footy fan, whatever combo of jumpers and shorts avoids a visual clash, I'm happy with. I'm not fussed which is the home or away team, or what is their traditional or clash strip. Just have a clear visual distinction between the teams.

Whether Port wear their regular black home guernsey or the prison bars, Richmond should wear the yellow with black sash to best avoid a visual clash.

 

[theyellowsash]

Essendon have one.

Yeah but isn't it one of those ones that's so pathetic it's pointless?

Like how Collingwood technically have one, being white with black stripes instead of black with white stripes

 

[And_ROOS]

Not the worst idea, last time Richmond played a team in black and white stripes in a PF everyone said it was Richmond by how much and they bottled it.

 

[Gibbsy]

Essendon has a clash jumper, collingwood does not.

Uhh, not this again.

Collingwood does have a clash jumper, and it works. It's one of the most effective in the league, and there's a whole board of neutral and impartial supporters that will tell you the same thing.

As a little reminder, here's what happens when Collingwood hosts Essendon / Carlton / Richmond and all three times are too stubborn to wear their clash jumper. It looks ugly.







Now take a look at what happens when the Pies play "away" to each of those three teams and Collingwood wears its clash jumper because it's more than happy to. It's a much better spectacle.







I needn't say more. And for what it's worth, I support Port wearing the prison bars full-time 100%. It's their identity.
