Jumper clash fails

[Hawthorn United]

Never gonna change until it costs them a game and a player says he thought it was a teammate.
If they wear it against freo and port then they need to wear it against Richmond collingwood and Essendon.

I just dont watch the games now (that game not even on free to air up here anyway today).

Remember how this was a problem with the trainers?

Carlton kick to hawthorn runners

Did anybody notice Carlton kicking to hawthorn runners a couple of times tonight? Hawk runners were wearing dark pants, I think it threw Carlton a few times. Runners should wear fluoro or something.

So they got trainers to wear vests to avoid clashes between trainers in brown vs players in navy. But players in black and navy seem OK.

In fairness Richmond and Essendon are genuinely terrible for this too, except against each other occasionally. Collingwood are the only big four team who get it right every time in these games.

Only time Richmond and Essendon avoid clashes against each other is the Dreamtime game. The other fixture with them in back to the status quo.

Collingwood have home games against Essendon, Richmond and Carlton in the next 5 weeks. Fun times ahead for this thread.

 

[manicmagpie]

Just realised our other two games in that 5 week stretch are against Geelong (always bad) and Hawthorn who have decided to wear a jumper that drastically reduces the colour that is the most contrasting between the two teams.

We are in for a big finish!

Wrong. This has been the set up for quite a while.

I have a solution that I think everyone can agree on: Shirts vs Skins.

Home team gets to wear their full kit. Away gets to wear nothing at all.

Try it in AFLW first.

And I suspect they only get it right because their clash is more or less the same design, and the same jumper they wore for 100 years.

I suspect if they had to wear a different design then they too would not wear a clash against those clubs.

Looks like Collingwood saving Friday Night footy by wearing the away strip at home against the pig headed Bombers.

It’s something to do with NAIDOC week in regards to the Pies jumper.

It was clearly our home game.

 

[Mr north man]

It was clearly our home game.

Yes Collingwood are saving it after we at North invented it.

 

[Billy ray]

Because the lost i bet it never happens again

 

[phantom13]

It was clearly our home game.

Was it?

Wouldn't shock me if we got Collingwood v Carlton/Essendon around this time every year. It's a great way for the clubs to save face.

They definitely got the home team umpiring

 

[yodellinhank]

Was it?

Yes - look at the shorts.
