Discussion Grand Final Matchups 2024 - What will your team wear?

[oak79]

it seems gws don't like wearing their current home jumper w/white shorts. they've only ever done it twice (both in 2021), so i doubt they'd want to wear that combo especially being the higher ranked team

When it comes to the grand final, I don't think they would have a choice.

Higher team gets home jumper rights, but AFL then decides shorts on best match up.

if thats the case then how did brisbane end up in white shorts last year when they have no white in their jumper, whereas collingwood's jumper has close to 50% white?
the afl likes to pick and choose, and clearly the vic teams get treated that little bit better than the non-vic teams.

That was only because the 2021 Clash jumpers hadn't come through until they had played Richmond. From what I've seen and heard GWS have set it clear that the Home is for home games only, the clash is orange backed instead of wearing the home with white shorts, and then the NS kit for Derby games. So I'd highly doubt we'd wear anything except Home as it is, or clash as it is (which I think GWS would be fine to wear even if they were the home team)

Hawks vs GWS would be a mess for the colour blind

Lock in Sydney vs Port

Implies we will get past a prelim lol. I think Sydney vs Giants, but whatever the case, if Sydney get through it’ll be full home for both sides (or the NS jumper for the Giants).

Because the AFL are idiots? And yeh, a bit of vic bias.

They definitely aren't consistent

They used to do that with most finals, but stopped a couple of years ago. There was a lot of inconsistency that led to Geelong wearing navy shorts in a Prelim against Brisbane (who were in Fitzroy + white). That for me marked the end of what was excellent policy.

We'd wear Maroon shorts against Sydney.

I know if we were to play Sydney we'd almost certainly be wearing our home jumper but I wouldn't mind seeing us play in this.
