Surely that's a problem the AFL need to fix with Richmond? Not fussed by it for this week BTW.

Yet Richmond's clash jumper and white shorts are good enough during the minor round.

Seriously the AFL are absoulety clueless at times.

It's Port's home game they wear their home jumper and we wear our clash jumper it's not that hard really is it???????

How can they deem it OK to wear against Essendon but not Port?

FWIW, I like Port's white clash jumper more than the black one anyway.

Looking forward to being in the crowd to hear Never Tear Us Aprt at a final. I know the premise is stolen directly from Liverpool but it definitely adds to the atmosphere, not sure why they don't use the first verse as well.

Seems silly that our clash jumper is fine to wear against Essendon & Carlton etc but not Port.

On a side note if its that important to Port why do they choose to wear their "clash" strip for all away matches even when they don't actually clash eg against Brisbane, Bullies, Freo etc etc??
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Easy solution. Richmond can borrow Port's training guernseys. Sorted!

I'm a bit the same, but its about the principle.

If we had no clash jumper, and approached Collingwood last year to wear theirs, Eddies response would have been something rhyming with "duck you", and "you havent got one? you have 6 days to make one".

Just don't understand why the AFL doesn't make it compulsory for all 18 clubs to have a home and away strip. If this is the case where Richmond don't have one, then be made to wear a training strip. We had to back in the day..

I don't believe its a clash strip, its more an away strip- worn for every game interstate.

Ended up getting 2 tickets together in a nose bleed section so i am happy. Now got two extra tickets that are separate from each other but both really good seats.

Don't know about you, but i've never paid any attention to the entertainment.
On GF day, i focus on watching the football and drinking piss.

Massive!

Great to see Kochie and KT go into bat for the club to achieve a desired outcome that suits both parties.

Hopefully this is confirmed and the boys can get back to focusing on the most important task. Winning.

I doubt very much this would bother any of the players or coaching staff
