I reckon the NM/Geel match is the most unpredictable of the year. There's been about three different picks evenly split across the tipsters:

NM away with blue shorts vs Geel home with white shorts
NM home with white shorts vs Geel clash with navy shorts
NM home with blue shorts vs Geel clash with white shorts (farcical)

It should be North's home with white shorts vs Geelong's clash with navy shorts but I won't be surprised at all to see those jumpers but with North in the blue shorts and Geelong in the white shorts given how stupid the AFL has been his year.




Edit: white shorts instead of navy.

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

What if SLEEVES are worn as well?

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

GEELONG wearing clash with navy shorts. Would probably mean Norf with home in white shorts.

Yep, that's what I think will happen. I have no doubt that the AFL would have rung North during the week and asked them to make a compromise and wear white shorts.

I reckon this is because the supporters and club hated wearing white shorts at home last year because they felt like they were made to compromise and were treated as inferior.

Too late on tonights match, mate. Strips were shown on TV 10 minutes ago.

 

[E92_]

Common sense prevails.

Fair point, it's not really a competition yet though.

Would be quite dumb however if it was anything else, wouldn't put it past the AFL though!

 

[Gibbsy]

Those names are small!

 

[E92_]

Geelong's clash is actually pretty nice.

 

[Speck]

Those names are small!

Need to be a soccer like size at least. Absolutely pointless tonight.

 

[E92_]

Those names are small!

Glad they didn't use them.

Yes but I'm extremely competitive, haha.

Geelong's clash is actually pretty nice.

It's beautiful, they should wear it more often, rather than having it exclusively for away matches against North.

Much better now that they've gotten rid of the gradients.

 

[HiReception]

North Melbourne vs Geelong @ Etihad (NAMES ABOVE NUMBERS THIS GAME, WOAH)

To borrow a favourite line from Football Invective, the entire FJGD board can rightly consider themselves conned.

 

[akkaps]

Norf don't have names on their backs. My prediction was made thinking they were going to use names.

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Yeah, what happened to the names?

Also, noticed that Port had names on the back of their training t-shirts pre-game against Brisbane. Not sure if they've wornt hem before.

 

[E92_]

I think most teams have names on their pre-game shirts. They can stay there.
