[CrowsB4hoes]

I like those colours.

Turn their biggest weakness into their biggest strength.
Weakness = no tradition
Strength = not tied to any historical legacy colours, names, look. They can rebadge themselves every year to suit. Their fans aren’t going to be the hardcore afl diehards anyway.
Dockers could do the same. GWS went close with their black guernsey.

Those could be Ports colours.
Black, teal and magenta

Don’t give them ideas. It would actually look awesome for them.

They should really do that for their AFLW team

Would bet my left nut they use their AFLW team to promote the PB jumper.

Tacky colours for a tacky city. Works well.

Ex docker Harley Balic has died age 24.

I remember he had some major mental health issues and didn't want to go interstate.

So sad, hope Freo and Melbourne players who played with him are doing ok, condolences to his family

Ex docker Harley Balic has died age 24.

Rumour a while ago was he had turned to "ice" to fight his demons, that was never going to end well if that was the case.

 

[MRB37]

Drugs involved from what I was told. Sad news for someone so young.

More his parents didn't want him to go interstate, IIRC his father offered him $70,000 to stay home.

Were there drug rumors back then?

 

[Mutineer]

Were there drug rumors back then?

Not that I was aware of and obviously the recruiters wouldn't have drafted him at all if that was the case with his already known family issues regarding him moving interstate. Fairly obvious there may have been mental issues because he went from being thought of as a legitimate 1st round talent to pick 38

It may be rose coloured glasses or it might be he played it straight but I never got the feeling from Scotty that I do with Barrett , Mclure and company from the last 15 years

Would come on at half time of the Friday night game and give his gossip/stories and leave with his trademark card ''keep punchin''

Definitely. He was before the gutter trash media started emerging. Did it with a sense of fun rather than trying to create scandals out of nothing

He was brilliant

Had completely forgotten about him.

He can still disagree with it. Every team has at least one

What a fantastic final that was.

I still can't believe the same thing happened again the next year, too funny.
