Robodog Is Back (Don't Worry Only For 1 Game)

[Freshwater]

Much and all as I admire your qualities, Freshwater, red shorts ? To be fair, even Essendon went that mad.

Essendon should wear them as the away team against Collingwood and Carlton. Makes for a better visual match up. I we should wear red short in a retro round. Essendon should wear them a few times a year, I reckon they look good.

Essendon should wear red shorts in EVERY game. The only justification for Essendon's existence is to wear red shorts.

Not the red shorts no I meant the robo dog

Robodog represents subjugation and humiliation. Red shorts were far more degrading.

While were going back to 1997, can we bring back the injured and recently retired players sitting in the stands giving their 'expert analysis'.

Both 7 and Optus Vision (remember them?) did this on match broadcasts.

7 used a player from each side giving us their views on the game (usually the old 'yeah, nah boys are goin' well, but gotta lift this quarter'.

Optus Vision (remember them?) used players like Garry Lyon, Craig Kelly and gave Breteton his start in footy commentary (not as verbose back then). Usually these players would sit behind the goal and as a player was lining up would tell us what we could already see happening 'yeah, it's through...yeah,she's home boys...' etc.

Simple times. Good times.

Enjoy your nostalgia, DR, I do, but be careful of apostrophes. Were isn't we're. Mate, it's Friday evening, works drinks, no offence.

For nearly 100 years, we wore black shorts at home. They actually looked pretty good in our uniform. Even navy blue shorts would look great with our royal blue jumpers for the right match up or in Ballarat?

Everyone wore black shorts, although Carlton cheated, navy shorts in the early 70s, surprise, surprise.

So true, now, let's eat grandma. Oops.

Don’t know if anyone saw the retro jackets the club had for sale last week. I popped into the shop 2 days after release to try one on and they had already sold out!

Anyway the club have them available for pre-order but I’ve actually found an online shop with them ready to go. Just got mine today and it’s awesome. If anyone wants the link let me know. I can post it here if I’m allowed but don’t want to do so without asking.

Thanks for that, was going to buy from the club site but it’s only pre-order for a Nov delivery.

Sizes are huge. I’m 180cm, pretty slim and a ‘Small’ is pretty big on me. God knows who’s buying a 3XL.

Are they the real 90s parachute type material or are they fleece?

Not quite like the old shell suit material that would set on fire anywhere near a flame. Bit more like a waterproof outer layer. Not fleecy at all.

I always pictured you as closer to 147, but I should stop thinking posters' avatars are their actual photos!

Interesting 'Disagree' ScragCity - so you don't like any of the players/past players featured? Which one/s?

I just don't think it's a good time for the club to be playing dress ups and smiling for photos. It's disrespectful to the supporters, who have had to endure a pathetic season.

Nah, I quite enjoyed it. Apart from the fact I remember Darce and Crofty's first games, and Liber running around in #60 at Windy Hill in his first senior season, Johnno looks like what I used to look like at the footy, and Crofty looks like what I look like now - except for the jumper as I no longer fit into any of my 1980s ones! (And I'm marginally taller than Liber and marginally wider than Crofty!)
