Questions should be asked of officialdom rather than any players. Maybe they thought it would look as the club united in support but someone should have tapped them on the shoulder and said ‘maybe not’.
Each to their own , but when I kick the bucket people can wear whatever they like to the party after the cremation, much prefer the Thai style when it comes to funerals, celebrate the person's life, the whole everything black definitely not to my taste at all.
Eat, drink and talk about the good times.

As an aside, if I see the club say it is going to ‘wrap its arms around the player’ again, or the media unquestioningly repeat it, I’m going to scream. Support is a shorter word, has actual meaning and doesn’t make you sound like a tit.
That's all great until your wife's aunt starts stealing the money people gave to support the family then telling everyone how terrible the deceased children are(my wife and brother in law), despite the fact said aunt was estranged from the family for over a decade due to continually trying to prostitute her niece(my wife) with army officers 20+ years older than her.
Thai people man...
Not a Hunters & Collectors fan, I take it?

The only acceptable instance. Great song, had the privilege of seeing Mark Seymour and Pearl Jam play it together.
I can't find it now but Rhett and his sister were sharing a flyer about the memorial so people could save the date and pay their respects. I feel like it mentioned something about attire, possibly wearing your club colours, but I can't be certain.
Way to paint everyone with the same brush, well done.
I think I read where people were asked to wear something colourful and maybe that’s what the Club came up with - and I would be surprised if the Club didn’t discuss this first with Rhett and Kameron out of respect.
I trust my in-laws and my wife's closest friends. That's pretty much it and it's based on past experiences.
The amount of people I've seen there who constantly borrow substantial amounts of money from 'friends', only to do a runner blew my mind.
Happened to my wife on at least 4 occasions, to the point where I've told her she's never to lend money to anyone unless it's the in-laws or 1 of her closest friends, because I know they'd be in dire circumstances if they ever asked.
Don't get me wrong, I love the place and the people are generally nice. The Asian obsession for living beyond their means by borrowing from people they never intend to pay pack, simply to buy gold, have the latest phone, etc., is rife there though.
What any of your replies have to do with a Thai style funeral I have NFI
But yeah as if anything you've said could EVER possibly happen in a western country....

Yeah, would never happen in a western country....
Of course not. In the West if you want that shit you just rob someone like a decent person would.

Could just as easily have said “Families, man…”
Working with executors and seeing the family disputes when Grampa dies, makes you question whether we’re actually the most intelligent species here.
Yeah, let's just say my wife hold a pretty similar view to me. She's the one from Thailand.
But anyway, moving on.

Maybe the Mum was immensely proud her son made it to the AFL and so having players rock up in club polos would had more meaning than if they wore a suit?
Honestly, anyone who gets offended at that is obviously part of the perpetually offended club.

It was most likely a request of the family. Every funeral I’ve ever attended has been big on colours being worn to celebrate the life of the person, I definitely wouldn’t want people wearing all black at my own funeral.

Who even wants a funeral. Just throw me in the compost bin.

Do we even need to wait until you’re dead?
Why? I think it shows unity and support for Rhett, he’s just tragically lost his mum I’m sure he doesn’t give a shit what his team mates are wearing to the funeral I bet he’s grateful that they are there.
When I cark it peeps can wear whatever they want, but Freo supporting mourners of my illustrious life will have been told in advance that everyone will be wearing Eagles gear so they will have to as well.
