I can kind of understand the AFL saying that they want the least clash possible between two teams, however it doesn't explain their inconsistency, last year they didn't make Carlton wear their away strip against Richmond when they were the 'away' team, which is where they appear to just want the traditional vic jumpers on show. This isn't withstanding the whole white shorts debacle which often makes things worse (ie Freo having to wear white shorts v hawthorn in a gf).
This is why I think something has changed this year, and C7 is having more input
We have never before had issues with out clash outside one night game against the WCE, yet now twice in one year?
As for Carlton, we clash against the saints, we don't against the blues. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to wear our normal kit as much as possible, but it just underlines how off the cuff and reactionary the clash policy is.
As for the shorts, dark for home, light for away needs to go. Should be dark for dark, light for light, and IF there is still an issue (ie both teams dark) away then goes light
Hopefully in the off season this is sorted out - I think it will given reports WCE are gathering the troops to raise this with the commission and demand changes (something I fully support)
