New clash jumper - reversed strip

Anyone read Titus O'Reily today? He was in good form. Lost it laughing when he wrote that he was safe sitting amongst the Richmond faithful in a Crows jumper because it was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

:clap :clap :clap
 
It's a joke, biggest game of the year and we are not allowed to wear our tradition uniform, it's like the Aussie's having to wear a british uniform to fight at Gallipoli, same side but not the real uniform
 
The more I look at the jumper, the stranger it feels. Just can't be for a GF. Who the *smile* came up with this rule??

AFL & RFC rolled over and accepted the decision without a fight. :(

Its like watching another team imo

Yep. It's gonna make us look like a 2nds team (i.e. future photos)....which is what the jumper virtually is.

Stuff em mate I say. As the politburo have decreed that we have to wear the other jumper I hope the club has OUR jumper ready for the presentation IF we were to win on Saturday. I want to see Cotch raise the cup in a RFC jumper.
 
I’m resigned to the fact that we’ll most likely wear our clash jumper so I’m going to embrace it and love it. I don’t want anything to annoy or *smile* me off this week. Life’s too short and our GF appearances are too few to let anything detract me from the joy that is a Richmond Grand Final week.

No thanks to the Crows for stepping in and saying something.

Why should they? It’s the Grand Final, do your opponent no favours at all. I’d be filthy if the situation was reversed and our club took Adelaide’s side.

Bit of respect on a ridiculous decision.

Yep - agree

Now I don't care anymore- let's focus on winning like the club is

Good idea TT. I think we should warm up in it too.

Does anyone know what will happen to RFC if they dont follow the "legislated" decree from the Spanish inquisition's orders?

I really cant see this happening.

Agree with Baloo, just enjoy the week and the build up. Dusty just won a Brownlow FFS! Happy days indeed!

The club gets fined $50,000.00. I say cop the fine and represent the Tigers in our traditional top. I am with KB tell them to GET STUFFED!

So the club has a potential to win $1 mill, $50k is nothing. why then say they can't do anything? I'm bemused.

I am enjoying the week but won't conform my view and go with the flow while the kkk in the afl play their stupid games to stuff up our traditions. The &#%* couldn't wait to sink the boot in after our win with their decision. Expected much more from the club.

50k, it's nothing in their turnover. They would easily cover that with sales of merch in the gf week
 
Whilst I prefer the traditional jumper, I couldn't care if we ran around starkers with a rubber glove on our heads "yelling we are squids". We are in the grand final for the first time in 35 years. If this is just another hurdle that we conquer and thus it sits with the theme of our whole season. It's like the Seinfeld episode of opposites. 2016 bad coach...do the opposite hire him for two years more in 2017; tall in the forward line gets injured...... do the opposite and run with 3 small forwards, fans want a traditional jumper for the grand final.....do the opposite and wear a canary yellow clash jumper.
