I covered this a few pages back.
Stocks confirmed any interstate match is considered away as far as sponsors are concerned. So although technically we were the 'home' side - we were interstate and had to wear Royal to satisfy sponsor arrangement. Basically we have a "WA jumper" and "interstate jumper", not home and away.
Which is a good thing - would have been crap having tri-panel in the Grand Finals.
I believe we also have 2 clash tablecloths with the different sponsor arrangements to cator for playing Freo "away".
Not quite correct. We do have 2 white clash guernseys, but we wear the "away" clash guernsey against Freo, so that one has Bankwest front, SGIO back. The other is SGIO front, Bankwest back for home games, like when we wore it against the Tigers last year, and the Bombers in 2010.
So that right there goes against their so called, "wa" guernsey & "interstate" guernsey thing. Stocks did say that though, re: the grand finals, that we wore our away guernsey, because we were away from home.
If it ever happened, and we played Freo in GF, & they were the higher ranking side, we'd be in the clash, probably the same with the Dogs, & I guess the Lions too, in theory. Although finals have already proven that common sense and what normally occurs for home & away games doesn't apply.
