…wev'e all been duped.
And in more ways than one.
Seems that Eddie wants his Club to come across like the big hero all the time. Good on him for pushing his Club forward, but it just ends up having the opposite effect when you hear the other side of the story. Here we were lead to believe that only one club was taking a stance and it’s nothing like that at all. Wouldn’t want people ‘in the know’ to report what actually happened at the time. We’ll just work it out for ourselves at some later stage, shall we?
Anyway, given the AFL has the final word, and that it doesn’t seem to make any difference what Club’s say,
at least it’s something that they do fight for their rights. You Just have to wonder though what direction the competition is taking, as it’s a bit unclear whose needs the AFL are catering to and what evidence there is that suggests we need to chop and change anything.
Never mind that it’s taken over a century for Clubs to build history and tradition; without so much as blinking, the AFL is prepared to cater to those who couldn’t care less about these Clubs and have probably contributed next to nothing to their history. Meanwhile, those who do care and have heavily invested their time, money and energy into their Club, over a number of years, can go take a flying leap. Makes sense and seems fair doesn’t it?
Hello! All this jumper changing does is alleviate one problem and create another. It seems laughable that we arguably took the sash off the back because people couldn’t read the numbers. Now we’ve put it back because it clashes with other jumpers.
Really? Ya don’t say? And it’s only taken a decade for someone to work that out.
Wonders will never cease.
Somehow, things seemed a lot clearer before anything was changed. As has already been discussed somewhere before, just make the numbers bigger. It’s not that hard. The way jumpers are designed now, there’s no need for players to tuck their jumper into their shorts anyway and it looks better if they don’t. Move the sponsor’s logo down a bit and make the numbers bigger.
Just
KEEP THE SASH, THE WHOLE SASH AND NOTHING BUT THE SASH.[/b]
Thank you.
Otherwise, why would people want to keep putting their money into a Club when everybody else gets to have more of a say in how it’s run than those who financially support it? That’s what I’d like to know.
