So its a away game. Does that mean we have to wear that god awful POS white joke? Or can we wear traditional because there isnt a clash? Or is there a clash?

True Blue Sainter · Mon 31 Mar 2008 5:36pm

Personally, I think there is no clash, but knowing the AFL, they will probably force us into wearing that white dodgy strip. I don't see the clash, even though we both have white numbers, the Bulldogs have a bright blue colour on their backs which doesn't really clash with black.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing that red training strip of ours modified a bit and turned into a clash strip - I'm a huge fan!

iwantmeseats · Mon 31 Mar 2008 5:38pm

I fear the same. And anything has to be better than the embarassment we wear at the moment. Thankfully, I think next year it can be changed.

I think there is a bit of clash, so I'd prefer us in the clash strip - I'd prefer us to have a crappy looking strip on than one that looks good but clashes!

agree, the red's a lot better than the woos white one. so what is the ruling? does anyone have a definitive answer on what we'll be wearing?

Well its rivalry round and we are looking at the past and i cant remember the sainst wearing this jumper in our clashes in the 70's 80's and 90's when we were the battling clubs.

I think the AFL are not strict enough, when there are team colour clashes. There are so many games when it is hard to tell teams apart. Some teams have so many colours such as Brisbane, Adelaide and Fremantle in their guernseys that there is bound to be a clash. Even the plainer guernseys can clash. Last year the round 15 Geelong v Collingwood game was ruined as the navy blue hoops don't stay horizontal and black stripes don't stay vertical in a competitive game, players become indistinguishable.
There should be no trace of any colours repeated on either team. Maybe don't go as far as olympic boxing with a red vest v blue vest, but a bit more uniformity with plain tops for the away team, without stupid patterns such as crows, lions kangaroos and faded crosses accross the top.
The white shorts are not enough, a guernsey is much larger in surface area.
So i would like to see St kilda either in an all white guernsey or an all red guernsey with just an embroided club badge. Much bigger sporting teams are happy for this.
in the meantime the white monstrosity would still be better to wear against the bulldogs than the tricolour, as this will lessen the clash.

Wear what we did in the intra club match - the red strip. Looks bloody good IMO!

According to the boys "On the Couch" tonight the decision re clash strips is made on the Tuesday before the game.

according to Mike S
the AFL decide each Tuesday after lokng a the next weeks games who needs to wear alternate strip

Rivalry round with The Bullfrogs?

WTF

No need for clash strip this week.

Speaking of clash strips, that white blues outfit actually looks quite good. And that's about the only good thing i'll ever say about Carlton.

saintdooley · Tue 01 Apr 2008 12:10am

we didnt wear the clash against them last year, and they didnt wear it againsgt us.
it will be the home top + white shorts!

The AFL's merchandising policy is a joke.

We are just the "leftovers" - we played North the first year, IIRC.

We just get lumped along with the teams that aren't Carlton and Collingwood and the Perth and Adelaide teams.

Because Richmond and Collingwood are rivals.
1. Collingwood is just up the street
2. In the 80's the pies stole all of the tiges players. (brian taylor, raines.)

dogs v saints
roos v hawks
wce v freo
lions v swans
dons v blues
cats v dees
Tiges v pies
crows v port.

esaint66 · Post: # 540464Post **esaint66** » Tue 01 Apr 2008 10:13am

But since its the 150'th year of football i think everyone should play there oldest rivals so i think the pies sould play either brisbane,blues or the tiges.

riccardo · Post: # 540466Post **riccardo** » Tue 01 Apr 2008 10:14am

I would assume that, because it is 150 years they are focusing on the Collingwood/Richmond rivallry, which dates back to the 1920s, when it was said a trail of blood ran from Lulie St to Punt Rd.

Collinwoods only older rivallry is with Fitzroy but Brisbane seem to have to play Sydney in order to glom off the League rivalry between NSW and Qld.

I think the swans should play us.

we both used to play at albert park (junction and lake ovals)
and we used to play for the lake premiership.

Absolutely we should play Sydney. It could even be for the "Lake Premiership" as it was back in the day (there was even a flag, if the pictures I've seen are any indication).

As we are soon to be based by the water again in good old Frankston, and the Swans have Sydney Harbour, it is the perfect time to ressurect an old rivallry that has added spice from the '05 Prelim and round 1s tunnelling furore.

Do it AFL!

Definately
there was a flag so your pictures are correct.
The only problem would be the younger generation (myself included) might not understand it.
