That guy should have at least got a yellow. The gotta use the VAR for shit like to that as well.

Why should they use VAR? the ref made the decision...

Hey guys. Relatively new poster here.

Had a couple of portfolios that I lost motivation for really quickly. I do feel quite bad for that. But I wanted to put in a bid for the NAFLR in 2018/19.

I know that the bidding isn't open but wanted to float some ideas around and figured this would be the best spot. No point starting a thread as it would waste space.

Been doing my preliminary designs in Paint as I'm at work and can't access Photoshop which I have at home. Plus, it's quite fun working pixels at a time in Paint to be honest.

My team would be the Barossa Valley Vintners. I lived there for a couple of years and I have a fondness for the place. The first guernsey I mocked up is a Heritage Round jumper celebrating the German heritage of the region.



Obvious German tricolour that semi wraps around, which is inspired by the 2018 Adelaide clash guernsey. Tricolour socks looked silly so I opted for pure black. The off-white base is due to it being one of the main colours for my main guernsey, which I'm yet to make. Penfolds as the sponsor due to it being the most prominent winemaker in the region.

The home guernsey. The two colours used symbolise white and purple grapes which are the lifeblood and history of the Barossa Valley. Used a lightened purple to have a smoother transition from the V neck to the rest of the guernsey. Decided on purple shorts and then predominantly off-white socks.

 

[Dav]

Away guernsey is pretty simplistic. Simply features that off-white base with a purple BVV (Barossa Valley Vintners) monogram. Off-white shorts and purple socks.

And then clash, using the two shades of purple and a hoops design.

Some people night be aware that I coach junior under 10s. I looked outside and it's bucketing down rain. Any tips on game plan or advice for playing footy in the wet? Remember we have zones and we also use a synthetic ball.

Use the rain to slide into players knee first - go for the side of the ribs where the opposition is the most vulnerable.

Identify the opposition's most talented player and get your least talented player to take him out off the ball.

Um I don't think under 10s should be doing that...

If you don’t think Under 10s should be doing that, I don’t think you should be coaching Under 10s.

It’s really all part of the plan to coax the angry step-dads onto the oval to punch on for their sons.

THE AIM FOR UNDER 10S IS TO HAVE FUN BUT LEARN THE BASICS.... KIDS SHOULDN'T BE TAUGHT TO TAKE OTHER KIDS OUT

wow so freight train isn't allowed to have an opinion? so much for freedom of speech

 

[The_torpedo]

Grandsun everyone is taking the piss. Chill out and laugh.

(but serious advice - emphasise contested ball and tackling)

I’d argue that a sneaky gut punch falls under ‘the basics’.

The team I play for did a Gold Coast today- didn't score in the last and blew a five goal lead. Not very fun.

Lol Aussies. Poms made 481/6 last night. Definitely need a new captain.

But 239 in response is pretty good with such a large target to chase. I’m
