The difference is that they're not on television. On television, it looks crap if the teams are in similar colours. Other sports (eg. Soccer, greyhound racing) understand this but the AFL often struggle.

If Deledio was running (hobbling?) towards the 50m arc in the 4th Q with the footy to seal the game for the Giants...
Which of our players would you most like to see tackle him and ping him for holding?
I was thinking Grigg, would be an absolute howler.
Dusty marks it inside 50 about 20m out in front of goal but handballs it to Townsend who boots his 5th goal from 4 kicks to win the game

With respect, we've had colour TV since the 70s.
Fair enough with North and Colingwood (white backs), especially if it was a muddy day. That was always the only 'real' clash. Since the grounds are so much better we don't even have mud anymore.
IMHO the AFL either wanted more marketing money or just got penis envy from Soccer.
Anyway, it's a pet gripe of mine but i'm not here to argue
Hmmm ,,, yeah, nah mate.

There is an issue with people who are colour blind as well, yes?
I'm already trying to work out which pub to go to after the GF win!!!
Not really, of course!! I'm actually really excited about the Prelim because instead of the usual Richmond feeling of doom the boys have given us reason to be really confident! To have two weeks of anticipation without just assuming we'll get flogged is beautiful!! Naturally we know anything can happen and winning is no guarantee but it's a genuine excitement that many of us have probably thought we'll never experience.
It's beautiful reading this forum because you can almost feel the nervous excitement coming through in every post!

The only change I would be making is buying tickets for the big dance if you dont have them already.
You guys will make it. Both GWS and WCE have travel to contend with (plus 75k+ Tigers faithful screaming). WCE away wont trouble you, and GWS have (again) been shown up as a team of champions and not a champion team in September. The Dogs got them last year by being harder at it; exactly how you blokes knocked over Geelong last week.
I'd be pretty confident of making it to the GF, and from there (if you play like you did last week) you'll give Adelaide a real run.
Jealous fells. Hopefully we'll see you at the G in a few years time in a final once we finish this rebuild we're on.
I'll be cheering for you. Its not too removed from my WAFL side, the Claremont Tigers who are half Carlton and half Richmond:
Good luck!

I ****ing hate that ad so much. That song gives me the absolute shits!
Honestly, I saw something in your blokes last week that I havent seen since... the Dogs last year.
In the spirit of total honesty, I firstly tuned in last week expecting to see (yet another) heartbreaking Richmond loss (I mod the main board so I need to know because... well... you can imagine why). If we're being honest that club of yours has delived so very very many heartbreakers over recent years. To the point I was convinced Punt road was built on an ancient Indian burial ground or something. Yet somehow despite all that, you have the most fanatical members (and growing each year).
Hearing them in song last week going mental was amazing. I turned to my girlfriend and said three things; Firstly, imagine being there with 95k? The sound would be fantastic (she's never been anywhere else other than Subi with 30k odd). Secondly, If anyone deserves a win... its those blokes in yellow and black in the stands. Thirdly; that Martin bloke can football (I recall posting on this board a few years back in Dustys first year, that I hadnt seen as good a first year player since Judd, and that he would win a Brownlow before his career is over. Nailed it.).
I found myself in the unusual position of cheering for you to win. And also really impressed by how you went about it.
This could be a big year for you blokes. You've hit form at the right time, made top 4 when it mattered, have a pretty amazing run in the finals (all interstate clubs here on in, you're playing them all the the G in front of 75k plus fanatical supporters, and all have to travel). Youve locked in Dusty, look dangerous across every line, and have 2 x 1st rounders this year to play with later on to keep the momentum going.
I'm pretty confident this year may very well be the year of the Tiger.

Correct. I'm partially colour blind and I struggle, at times, especially when players have their backs to the camera and both teams have white or light coloured numbers on a black or dark coloured jumper.

100% hes not being dropped !
Their sole focus is a team defence, but in the forward line.
George will be KPI'd on tackles, pressure acts first and foremost.
Goals and goal assists are a bonus!
George copped an elbow to the head after that famous fumble...bit of claret so the doc applied a fair slab of Vaseline onto the wound...played on as you'd expect a tiger to
Instant stiffy.

Piss off you Carlton piece of sh... I mean, welcome aboard the tiggy train mate, jump on back there's a spot for you and your missus.

I think they struggle because they use designers who just don't get it. Some of the clash jumpers are just horrid...especially those when the jumper is almost all white. (And it took a kid to redesign the Port jumper.) And I always squirm on behalf of St Kilda supporters at the shot of Baldock holding up the cup in a Collingwood jumper...I'd feel the same if we get all the way there and use that clash jumper.

To the first part of your post, I couldn't agree more that some of the clash jumpers are horrendous but I think that's because they haven't gone down the sensible path of making them predominantly white. That's how you end up, for instance, with Essendon's abominable grey. Melbourne's clash jumper, on the hand, looks good.
As to Darryl Baldock, I, too, remember the photo of him in the Collingwood jumper and I think it's a sign of respect for a vanquished opponent and I'd take that any day over today's look-at-me w***erism.
