Can you please explain why our players were required to wear our "Clash Strip" in the game v Essendon where we were the "HOME" team?

Dear Tom,

We were required to wear our Clash strip for the match against Essendon due to the fact that our Home guernsey clashes with both Essendon’s Home and Clash strips. This was a directive from the AFL and therefore we have to comply.

I do agree however it is not ideal and we are having some discussion about it.

Michael.
