Just jealous because Peter Siddle is Victorian.

Just jealous because Peter Siddle is Victorian.
So? We have; Clarke, Cowan, Hughes, Warner, Haddin, Christian, Forrest, Henriques, Smith, Starc, Hastings, Cummins, Harris, Bird, Bollinger and Lyon. Not all may play for NSW, but they all are New South Welshmen.
Anyway Siddle and all the above mentioned play for the most important team, Australia, and that is what matters.

I will enter this debate with a flag which I have saw a few years ago in one of those design a flag contests.
The Southern Cross is kept, and so is the Federation Star. The white and red lines below leave a little reference to the British establishing this country 225 years ago, but it also represents the desert which makes up most of this country with the red and the white the setting sun as day turns to night at dusk and the stars come into view.
The Southern Cross shows where we are in the world, where the Southern Cross can be seen in the sky at night, and the Federation Star represents the six states, one point per state, and territories, one point for territories. It can also represent the coming together of the many different cultures that make up Australia today.

I like it. But to me it sort of reminds me of a political campaign poster. Maybe make the red and white lines higher (like the Bulldogs hoops before the current ones)I will enter this debate with a flag which I have saw a few years ago in one of those design a flag contests.

I like both of these variations. Consistent with historical colouring, but repurposed into a representation of Australia's geography. I could even live with making the stars or the middle stripe yellow if you wanted to evolve things a bit more.
I think we already have a wonderful option for a sporting flag in the Boxing Kangaroo. Just have to ease it out of the hands of the AOC...

The boxing kangaroo brand is technically owned by the Australian Olympic Committee, as I understand it. They'd have to hand that over for it to be used as an official national symbol.

The Boxing Kangaroo would be a terrible Australian flag.

That is why I posted this design
The explanation of it is the southern cross above the red land surrounded by white beaches and blue ocean.

Must admit I did lol.

As a formal national flag, totally agree. But as a shared/endorsed/call-it-what-you-will symbol of national sporting prowess, I think it works very well.

But that's ochre. I'm sure you can appreciate what I would have against that

I understand, but that isn't ochre, it is red.

It looks off-red on my work monitor, definitely looked like ochre at home. Maybe my monitors have an ochre sensitivity setting I need to look at...
