So Melbourne Geelong Grand Final.
Nope, the game was much better to watch back then. This rolling scrum, drop the ball, big pile on packs is a poor version of Aussie Rules.
Yep, this was around the sweet spot.
The players were fitter and more skilled then previously but the over coaching and AFL rule interpretations hadn't stuffed the game.
I can't beleive how many overlook this point, it is really all that matters.
Port Powah agreed to drop the Wharf pylon jumper when they joined the AFL.
Case closed.
Wallace at Richmond had a lot to do with it played a basketball zone defence
It is a different design though.
Hawthorn/North/Collingwood all have the same design.
As do Essendon and Richmond.
Our own jumper is a similar design (hoops) to Geelong.
Similar designs can coexist. Especially when not playing each other
In any case why does it matter? Clubs wear multiple jumpers in multiple colours over the season.
Collingwood should not have the power to control what another club wears in a game they are not playing.

Things change. That was an era with minimal jumpers worn. People renegotiate terms all the time.
Also, that agreement highlights what is wrong with this league. The designs are different. Why the need to even make such a deal? VFL trying to protect one of their clubs.
Man United and Liverpool share a closer shirt design and are separate global brands.

Collingwood don't even own the trademark.
AFL owns all jumper and mascot designs.

If Port were allowed to wear the prison bars regularly I think it would be the first time a club can wear a similar design in the same colours as another club.
Port media often use that argument, there are other teams wearing the same colours, other teams wearing the same design. They never point out that its both.
You could argue Ports is a different design but whether the stripes start at the top or further down, it's stripes.
I look at it like this, if a Tasmanian team comes in, with links to a local club that wear our coloured hoops (whether or not the hoops start at the top or further down like ours) I would expect our club to be pretty strong on us remaining the one blue, red and yellow hooped club in the AFL.
I'd hope they'd be smart enough to realise that if we let them wear them once, then again and then once a year, then twice a year, they would eventually end up wearing our coloured hoops all the time.

And yet Man United and Liverpool have no issue.
Shows how pissant this league is doesn't it.
Similar uniform colour and designs exist in far bigger leagues than the AFL.
And I bet if Tassie did wear our jumper or a close version of it, they would allow it.
They gave Gold Coast our colours.

The bigger issue is a traditional VFL club dictating to an "interstate" club and the AFL siding with that VFL club.
Happens every time.

I'd rather have Port get their prison bars than Collingwood having such a pathetic sook and the AFL more concerned about the feelings of a Melbourne club.
In what ****ing universe should Collingwood have any business in our intra state marquee matches. I'm actually strongly on Ports side with this one.
Weak by the league and arrogant by the pies.

Hmmm.. maybe check again.
Apparently they started using the song without permission but were forced to pay the record label a blanket licensing fee, albeit without having to pay back end royalties. So the band would have got their one off payday some time ago. Common industry practice.
They stole it, got caught, then had to pay for it. Prison bars indeed.
Are you ****ing kidding? If that was a crows player the usual pitchforkers on here would be crucifying the Crows citing everything from negligence to criminal activity.
Why not question the incompetence or negligence of Port ****ing Adelaide?
Everybody here cares that Schulz is in such a bad way and anyone is well within their rights to criticise that shit club for the way they’ve handled players’ health on game day in the past. Port certainly has form in that area.

The AFL.
Why do they need to defer to Collingwood to make a decision?
AFL owns the trademarks and copyrights on the jumpers. They should decide what is worn.
Not defer to another club for permission. Especially for a game or games that club is not playing in.
And I bet a non VFL club would not get that chance to stop another club wearing a jumper that is a different design. Gold Coast for example is close to some of our jumper designs. Their home jumper can be mistaken for our Red away one. Were we consulted?
Yes Port agreed to not wear the PB jumper when they were formed. But that was a different era, less jumper variations worn. Things can change. People negotiate terms all the time.
I bet if this wasn't Port, more people here would see the bigger picture. I don't care if they wear the jumper or not. Just don't agree with Collingwood having the final say.

Ok, lots of care for Schulz in those posts, I must have missed it amongst the Port Port Port
That’ll ruin his game.
Haha, nah.
**** Port.
They’re like the CCP. They just keep chipping away, chipping away. No wonder they had the China debacle
Did the club agree or not agree to not being allowed to wear black and white? Asking because I’ve heard so many computations about the situation I don’t know which is the truth anymore.
And even if it only gives one player 0.1% of uplift for a game against the Crows, then **** em.
