Sandringham and Bonbeach would be a clash then, only seperated by colour of club name on front of uniform. Bring back the old pin stripes at home and grey away But sounds like people are getting bit precious or giving in to umpires poor eye sight to call plays on base Don't Bonbeach wear gray and Sandy white? For the past 3 years, prior to that Sandy were gray.

Div 2 Sandy and Williamstown will be a clash also and if Chelsea goes up that will make 3 teams with near identical uni's

Fitzroy and Werribee are pretty much identical. Especially when Fitzroy wear the white pants.

Grey pants away and white at home, its pretty simple really! Its been done in the states for over 100 years! Not to say we should do whatever the seppos do, but i would think its pretty logical really!
Pretty sure most (i would think) 1st and 2nd's players would have both anyways, but i would think it would be cheaper to buy a new pair of pants than a new playing top!

Agree the grey pants when there is a clash should be used or white if home team wears grey usually. Just makes things much easier.

Not even with the clash thing, white at home and grey away. Make it simple otherwise there will always be someone who didnt get the memo and bring the wrong pants! Having said all that, Chelts gunna look a bit funny with grey pants and a white top!

Seriously though, they have the stripes on their pants so they could probably get by with that..or their winter pants.

Its very difficult to raise an argument for the necessity of a "clash strip" in baseball. Unlike Footy, Soccer or any sport where there is interaction with an object to accomplish the same goal, baseball does not fit in this category because a) opponents are restricted to defined areas of the playing arena, and b) seek separate goals while competing directly. Baseball could be played with teams in identical uniforms, like cricket. So in essence, uniforms are for the spectacle, purely for aesthetics. What I'm getting at is if any baseball club is required to have a "clash strip" by BV, said club should laugh in their face. When is the last time anybody was confused watching a game by similar looking uniforms?

How about as a clash strip, when the fielding team is fielding, they wear gloves and when the batting team is hitting they wear helmets? maybe I've had too many vodkas. Greetings from Poland!

Nice idea p26 but i rekon I've got the solution! After the fielding team gets 3 out's they run to one dugout and gets ready to hit while the other team runs to the other dugout to get thier glove and goes out to field!! and so on!! Seriously, is this being discussed because of "crowd" confusion or a continual need to make the game more expensive. Alternate uniforms has been tried and failed before, some clubs will conform and some will "flip the bird" to the idea. Who polices/enforces it? Don't write and say umpires because that shouldn't happen!

Rumor has it that with new coach at the helm the tigers have attracted a few names to their lineup which could see them as a real chance for a sniff at the four this yr. A couple of older heads coming back also to help out.

Heard from pretty reliable source that Markus is heading to Fitzroy (hence Mulgrave's new import) as it is a "requirment" he plays div 1. With Matt Kemp announced as Lions coach would that mean 2 non nationals?

Interesting hypothetical here (dont we all love them at this time of the year). Markus is likely to attract keen interest from Aces management, so he misses games for Lions both when he cant pitch due to non national restrictions and potentially while with Aces and at same time Matt Kemp (who btw I rate as a player) plays in 2's?

After finishing equal third in the league MVP last Summer I'm assuming a few people rate Kemp.
Will be interesting to see if any Roy Boys get any interest from the Aces this year...you'd have to think that J. Lethborg and Kemp were close to getting a call last year and with Herc stepping down from coaching duties to concentrate on playing, would he be a chance to get a call up or have his Aces days past him by?

I certainly don't mean to imply that Kemp would not be playing. I highly rate Kemp as well, everybody does I reckon. (Also good for a beer...) What are the non-national pitching restrictions this year? I thought it would be the same as last year - no restrictions...

Your right, non nationals can pitch every game - but I understand that rule relating to one non national only in firsts (who must be nominated to pennant committee at start of season) is unchanged. So if you have an import who is likely to be with Aces and another of high quality who can only play 2's as a result, is that the best "use" of import spot on roster? And if Jamie sees Aces action as well pitching depth is further impacted.

Lethborg would have to be in contention for an Aces gig, he was unhittable against blackburn last year

How's this for an idea...?
Clubs can nominate an import on a weekly basis, or monthly perhaps? So that they can have 2 players available to play in the 1sts. That way, if the import gets a week with the Aces, the other player can play 1s.
Or perhaps, as many as you want, but only 1 in the line-up at any one time, and only 1 can pitch in a given game.

Definitely not! Cause then Fitzroy could have Kemp start midweek games and the German throw the Sunday games...

It'll be interesting how the Twins manage Markus...I'm guessing he won't be throwing 100+ pitches anymore.
The nominate each week idea is to avoid them having an import for a mid-weeker. That said, you could easily see one start, and then relieve with 4 days rest. Not so different.

Or nominate each game and bring back the non-consecutive games rule.
