Discussion AFL Round 0, 2024: Photos and Discussion

[Gibbsy]

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognise "Opening Round".

Round 0
Fixture	Venue	Time	TV
Thursday, Mar 7
Sydney Swans vs. Melbourne	SCG	7:30pm	Seven/Fox
Friday, Mar 8
Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton	Gabba	7:40pm	Seven/Fox
Saturday, Mar 9
Gold Coast Suns vs. Richmond	Heritage Bank Stadium	4:20pm	Fox Footy
GWS Giants vs. Collingwood	Engie Stadium	7:30pm	Seven/Fox

Swans in the 150th year jumper of which we can barely tell the difference.

Carlton will likely be in navy with white shorts, which is a combo we should not be seeing in 2024.

The rest is fairly elementary. Welcome back!

Not at Heritage Bank.... PeopleFirst Stadium

Haha is it really!! That could be a contender for the worst stadium name in AFL history

Something I only noticed tonight, but another example of how half-arsed and lazy this Swans 150 guernsey is.

The date listed is in American format.

At least it's not 1300Smiles Stadium or Lottoland (no stadium or anything, just Lottoland).

I wonder if it will be touted as a new sponsor or just the change of business name

Introducing… People First Bank

Australia’s largest customer-owned bank has unveiled its new brand, announcing that Heritage and People’s Choice will be unified under the new name of People First Bank.

Pies wearing their new clash tomorrow. Here’s a slightly better look at the “tyre tracks”. They actually appear to be stylised magpie wings, repurposed from Nike’s updated swooping magpie jumper.

Thought that was Heath Shaw at first and was very confused

Kinda sorta wouldn't mind seeing what the Suns looked like with a blue edge to their numbers to match the jumper side panels.

Can't find a round one thread but it looks like Richmond will be in their yellow clash tonight and the umpires in light blue.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Does everyone remember back in 2018 when Carlton ran out for the warmup in the ‘wolf grey’ shorts and everyone got excited that this was finally the year a clash jumper would be worn, only for us to still be wearing the home jumper in what was one of the stupidest jumper/shorts combos ever lol

So, umpires to wear blue because they think Richmond should be wearing yellow, but Richmond won't?

Richmond or the umpires are lying
