Why?

Given a preference, I’d rather our new Senior Coach didn’t have cause to be dragged into this.

Oh, yes. I misunderstood!! Sorry

 

[Markfs]

Hopefully Fly wasn't the assistant coach who wheeled out the pr0n shot!

i always thought i saw him in a few of my favourite movies...

You're mixing him up with Ron Jeremy

Why do we always have the lamest and plainest indigenous jumpers, sigh

Truly mind-boggling that anyone in our club, hell anyone in Australia thought that was acceptable.

Not much offends me but to say that around indigenous boys is mind boggling

Because we don’t appropriate them from struggling indigenous artists like Port Adelaide Power.

Agree with both your points, the story is cool but the indigenous jumpers is something we don't do that well. I think the colours and stripe requirements don't bode well to aboriginal art work, which tends to use more earthy colours. Not sure what the solution is to make something better that still looks like a collingwood jumper.

If you're mixing, this is the rum (ron in Spanish) that you need.

Like all art it goes in trends but there’s plenty of awesome black and white pieces out there. I feel it may be more of a image/marketing/brand thing on our part of being stubborn with our black and white stripes as the it’s clearly the most recognisable uniform in Australia sport.

Sure. Still waiting on some substance from you?

no interest in discussing something that is irrelevant to the argument. not to mention that it will just clog up the thread with back and forth that no one cares about

Yeah this is sort of what i was referring to. There is a lot we could do, like compose the stripes out of dots, curve them a bit etc. Would like to see us go a bit more daring.

I think it is pretty germane to the discussion. Everyone would like for someone to identify some substance in “the dossier”. Don’t go missing on a clog up defence. It’s big footy softie. The whole thing is clog.

They could be so good and dissappoint every year. The year they design a good one I'll buy one.

Unless you’re a passionate Collingwood supporter …

… designing Collingwood’s indigenous guernsey is unlikely to be the dream gig of many indigenous artists at the moment.

It’s not as if we’ve currently got the best of reputations.

Sure, you and I and everyone here is across the great work we’ve done with the Do Better report. But for many outsiders we’re the club of Eddie McGuire who racially vilified Adam Goodes. Half the population probably doesn’t even know or care that Ed is not our President any more.

 

[Roogene]

Can a journalist ask him why he failed to fulfil his contract at the Dees?

He’s not taking questions. Just making accusations.

I wonder what process they use to select the artist and their work?

Around August last year the club put an announcement on their website for indigenous artists to submit designs for the next two years. (I forwarded the link onto one indigenous art organisation I‘ve done work with before, dunno if they followed through with it). But then what happens? How was the selection made?

I wonder if the club has thought about getting this bloke involved in some way? Judging / promotion / etc?

He’s a named contemporary artist who seems to have worked in indigenous communities. Even the community that Collingwood is aligned with! (Tennant Creek)
