You can get hemorrhoid rage too, I bet.

I ******* hate watching football when the two teams are in similar colours and, at the same time, Richmond's clash strip is unquestionably revolting. I think, for the clash jumper, the black should be replaced by white.

You'd have to be ****ing joking , and you talked about revolting , white is weak and insipid

I don't see what's wrong with white. If it's good enough for the shorts, why is it offensive on the jumper?

I reckon this looks good:

Can't see it working as a sash on the clash jumper.
Is that what you meant?

what white with a yellow strip?

That would like ****

Clash strip is fine. Leave it.

Tell the AFL to go jump; home jumper it is.

Imagine the memorabilia without the traditional jumper in it to celebrate the GF success....

 

[Hoos]

Or if we have to...regular jumper with white shorts.

That's a reasonable clash strip.

 

[Maroo]

If we do make it to the GF, I don't think clash strips will be an issue.

Yellow & Black doesn't clash with Red & White.

i just watched the last quarter and a half and it still doesnt feel real that that was a QF and they are into a PRElim. pinching myself still

White jacket with yellow and black checked sash (like Fairway)

 

[tigerdan]

There is no clash, anyone who thinks there is, is a kid who grew up watching too much soccer.

I thought this may get a laugh. This was part of a post from one of the more brutally honest of the Cats board's posters. The subject was their recent trades under Scott.

"Speaking of which, we're coming up on the five year anniversary of the McIntosh trade. Perhaps we can name a golden crutch in his honour."

I thought it was pretty funny.

Not sure if its been said but heard on the radio they said AFL said richmond has to wear clash jumper

If that's true, I hope we'd just ignore it and wear our proper jumper. Who's the f**kwit who thinks we clash?

Presumably that will only be if Adelaide make it. We finished higher on the ladder than all other teams except Geelong and given we played them last week in the proper jumper it's hard to see why we would wear the limp-wristed one against them three weeks later. We'd probably be designated home team anyway due to getting the week off.

Yep sorry, if its a richmond vs adelaide game****

How f**ked is that?

Ohhhhhh god how good is footy without Vickery. I sometimes forget about that campaigner.

Same here Cotcho, I've watched it from start to finish 3 times now ... Frothing for next Saturday !!

Instead of worrying about clash jumpers for the Grand Final, let's just worry about the prelim first. Bloody hell.

You're right of course.

The switch to a small forward line may have been forced onto us when Griffiths and Elton et al couldn't make it work but I think there's little doubt that it was already under consideration- that small forward pressure was there from very early in the season (once we realized that Vickery was a liability and that we needed to have a forward structure that showed more defensive nous) and I don't think the coaching staff could have come up with that plan and have it work so quickly unless it was almost ready to go.
I also think there's other aspects to the success of this game plan...with the ball trapped in our forward line, it gives our back line players more time to set up, man up and keep the zones sorted. As great a job as the defence has done, that's helped them enormously. It doesn't take long for forward structures to unravel when the forward fifties entries aren't clean and the job of our defense has been made easier- 'switched on' mids have helped in that as well.
The other aspect of our forward structure is that its now very hard to match up. A traditional defensive set up against say, two tall forwards, a couple of mid sized forwards and one small crumbing forward is fairly predictable and can he blanketed if the defenders all do their thing, but we don't have that set-up...opposition defenders are now under immense pressure themselves, and now they have to find a defensive structure that can combat an entire forward zone full of forwards who know how to lock the ball in.

Couldn't agree more! Our forward pressure allows our backs to set up structures behind the ball, hence our miserly scores against numbers this year, as opposed to previous years.
