I want to make it clear that the Bulldogs deserved to win and good luck to them so this is not meant to be an excuse.
I just felt that it was difficult at times to distinguish the teams. Horizontal stripes both with dark shorts.
I thought it might have just been me but speaking to some others this morning, they brought up the same issue.
Did anyone else think the same?

Yes, it was particularly difficult when the play was going away (from a spectators point of view) so the players were showing their backs. St Kilda had an all black back with white numbers and the Bulldogs a dark blue back with white numbers.
Not very good under lights.
Sadly I have to confess that as the away team the problem was caused by St Kilda.
It was not an appropriate clash strip.

Very confusing and a serious clash.
The Dogs were the "home team" and had every right to wear their home strip but we should have ditched that pre season jumper and worn the clash just for 1 night, especially since the switch to Kooga has made the Dogs jumpers darker than ever
BANG BANG

im guessing overall they won their 3 games my a higher margin than us?borderbarry wrote:Why were the Doggies tghe "Home Team"?
but it shouldnt matter, they should of been in the white shorts, even if they were the 'home team.' that NAB strip we were wearing included black shourt, no matter who we played or where we were always going to be in that top and black shorts.
last year for the prelim final we were the home team and were in white shorts.

Yes we found it difficult all night (and we pride ourselves for seeing stuff from level 3).
I blame it entirely on our lame, and now stupid, "clash" guernsey. Exactly the same banded format with logo in the middle as the Bulldogs -- and theirs is obviously one of the more ugly ones going around.
Why did ANYONE think that design would be a good idea??

I thought the saints played really well until I looked at the scoreboard and realised that it was the Doggies doing all the scoring.

In short yes, the AFL are a joke on this issue and in 2010 it is a disgrace that it continues to hover over the game as a blight on our competition.
If Chelsea wear white in an FA Cup final, I'd be willing to wear a white uniform in a Grand Final- of any sort.

I think I'm getting old Bozza! It's more when players are in and under and have to flick out the quick handball. It just seemed that when the players had their back to you, it was hard to pick the difference sometimes. Our old white clash jumpers would have been better as dcstkfc said.bozza1980 wrote:I'm in the minority here but from the nose bleed seats I didn't find it difficult differntiating the black from Royal blue.

Saints7 -- you're right! It's the nab guernsey, and I got carried away on another issue.Saints7 wrote:agree it was hard at times.
We had a NAB Cup guernsey, the Dogs didnt, the AFL should have made the Dogggies use their alternate jumper with white shorts.
Avid - its our NAB jumper, not our Clash jumper. Im sure lots of people thought it would be a good idea - I did - I own one!
And I do regret insulting your taste in footy jumpers.
Thank you for your polite correction.
(I still hate the thing myself, and am seething that it didn't get binned on practical "clash" grounds alone.)
Cheers!
