It's going to be so weird when Richmond throttle the poo poo through GWS though and make a grand final... I feel dirty saying Richmond and Grand Final in the same sentence.

Umpiring was 1-way trash early. Eagles are out of the game now.

Mitchell Priddis and Petrie look ready to retire on the field.

If JK kicks this and we have a decent 3rd quarter we might be in with a sniff... Gonna be asking a lot though.

Under 15,000 there for GWS? I know they don't have a massive stadium or fan base yet but that's still a bit poor.

Parramatta were playing a final next door so that may have had a bit to do with it.

Only interesting thing about the game after 1QT was Stevie J.

Yes, current highest was 60,222 for the derby QF last year

Anyway some dumb history I figured out since the game ran out of fizz.

(I actually worked this out last year when the Doggies made the GF but just as relevant - maybe - depending on next week goes)

Last GF (VFL/AFL)
1982 Richmond
1998 Adelaide
1999 Carlton / North Melbourne
2000 Melbourne
2001 Essendon
2004 Brisbane Lions
2007 Port Adelaide
2010 St Kilda
2011 Geelong / Collingwood / Gold Coast (debut)
2012 GWS (debut)
2013 Fremantle
2015 Hawthorn / West Coast
2016 Western Bulldogs / Sydney

(Also 1908 University (debut), 1944 Fitzroy depending how pedantic you're feeling)

Apparently the AFL have approached Adelaide and strongly suggested, in the event both us and Richmond make the GF, we surrender our right to the home guernsey so Richmond can wear theirs

Not really no, but they make us wear the clash strip away and vice versa in the regular season now.

I imagine that if we kindly told the to gently caress off, as we really should do, the AFL would suddenly find it's perfectly acceptable and Richmond don't need to wear the away guernsey to their home game

I'd say gently caress it, rock up wearing the normal colours, pay the fine afterwards.

Clash strips are dumb and need to be removed, just after they remove runner.

I figured Richmond will just wear the white shorts with their traditional jumper.

Freo had to do that in 2013, and just decided to go full white strip because we very rarely play in the purple jumper/white short combo.

Adelaide's clash strip is better than Richmond's anyway. Too much yellow!

PS. I don't mean Adelaide's "too much yellow" version of the clash strip.

Best way to solve it is for Adelaide to play GWS instead.

They want those "iconic moments" to happen in the most recognizable colors.
