Let's hope that Frankston never again wear their alternative strip against the Bullants. The all red back made it impossible for spectators and I'm sure confused players and umpires alike.

Yeah, it was not the alternate jumper, it was the official jumper for the year. The alternate is white. The VFL did not identify the clash and the Dolphins turned up with the Standard strip as required. At the start of the seconds the clash was identified and a number of options were tried to get over it, but in the end, it just could not be changed. It was an absolute dissaster from the back, with both teams having white numbers on a red back. A couple of times players had to pull out of tackles from behind at the last minute, with one of them resulting in a rather nasty "injury".
