VFL has a much more stringent uniform policy.
Actually isn't the yellow Richmond's official VFL jumper? (because apparently the 2nds isn't real football so they don't want to wear the black one, despite their reserves and under 19s wearing it when they existed)

I didn't really consider it a problem last night. I mean, maybe the AFL should consider a rule that you wear your away guernsey for any away game, unless it will create a bigger clash than your primary guernsey, to stop these amateurish incidents happening, but on the whole, maroon with maroon shorts versus black with white shorts is no problem for me.
Having said that...
If the VFL considers it to be a clash, surely the AFL should take an even more cautious approach, with consideration to the TV audience and probably the match of the round in the higher level, compared to a game that probably only a few thousand people actually care about (beyond checking on a few individual performances by AFL listed players).

Pretty much because they are tossers.
They even list their VFL premiership in 2019 with their AFL reserves premierships when it should be listed with the VFA ones.
A tally isn't a determination of quality it's a record for a respective league the current VFL is the historic VFA not the VFL/AFL reserves and it's top competition should be treated accordingly.
It's a mark of disrespect to act the way Richmond does.

Our away Guernsey is Black with yellow sash, and white shorts, unless the AFL decides it causes a clash.

Not sure what your point is? Port Adelaide don't have a different 'away' strip unless it's deemed a clash also.

Its not quite a clash but wearing grey, white and black against Collingwood isn't a good look

A slice of fried gold
Or their traditional magenta.
Grey guernseys can look ok as a design, but tend to blend into the crowd. I always found bombers players hard to pick up on the other side of the ground, and there was also the Man U half time changeover.

From what I could see it looked mostly red. So instead they wear blue with white shorts against the dogs in blue and white. Not sure it makes much sense

This league is such an embarrassment.
That would have been fine. Bulldogs with white shorts even better

They were trying to avoid a clash and this is what we ended up with?

Melbourne with the indigenous jumper and red shorts would have been much better than this
