RICHMOND'S jumper for the Saturday night clash with Essendon is a disgrace, controversial Liberal MP Bernie Finn says.

He said the Tigers' jumper should be sacred and not adorned with "graffiti" across the yellow sash to celebrate indigenous culture and mark the annual Dreamtime clash that is expected to attract about 80,000 fans to the MCG.

Why is it a disgrace may I ask? Like really?

It's funny because apparently he supports Richmond.

I guess some people just run out of things to say...

Its Ugly, But not a discgrace.

I guess people arent used to a 'changed' richmond jumper. We are one of the only clubs not to compromise the black and yellow sash over the years.

Yep, back in the olden days, all other VFL clubs wore the famous yellow n black colours.. Damn them for chaning!

How is it worse than Essendons seatbelt strip from last year (another club that has been incredibly staunch in regard to the strip being unaltered). Noone had an issue with that.

Its a one off for a good 'cause', whingeing over nothing.

I like the idea behind it, but the implimentation sucks.

haha. You know what I mean though.

I remember a heritage jumper Richmond wore with yellow and black stripes.

I doubt anyone gives a crap what Bernie Finn says.The guy is just an attention seeking twit.Ted the toff probably thinks he's a w***er.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Disgrace? Exactly WHY is it a disgrace?

 

[bradrowe#32]

I reckon it looks really good. Well done to Richmond for getting into the spirit. Bernie is being a tosser.

 

[walken79]

Wow. Bernie Finn is a moron.

The real disgrace is the attitude of the right wing bigot that thinks it's a disgrace. I can't believe people with archaic attitudes like that are in positions of power. It's a once off guernsey with significant cultural significance. Let it be

 

[worstfold]

disgraceful i expected better from the tigers.....

oh right yeah. Original VFA/early VFL jumper, been the stripe since 1914. That was in the era when the AFL was forcing clubs to have a 'heritage' jumper.

at least its for a charitable cause. Its not for M'n'M's or anything.....

Geez pav. This is the first post I've read of yours under this moniker but no mistaking the challenged.


Most alternate jumpers are always greeted with a frenzy of disdain. I might even buy one sat night as it's all about cause and awareness. Plus I have 3 grand to spend in 3 days in Melbourne.

If you get desperate I'll be here for you.

 

[Anti-pow]

If you ever need a quote from a politician....Ask Bernie Finn. Likes to have his say in everything, but usually no one is listening

 

[peppy la pew]

Bernie Finn might be a wanka, but he has a point.

That design looks bloody awful..

 

[vonn]

Lol what the hell is that it looks like little space ships on the sash?? Disgraceful.... No.

 

[Cole Dammett]

I opened this thread expecting to find a heaps racist guernsey or something! When a politician makes a statement that something is a disgrace it's gotta be more than 'it's traditional to wear the black with yellow strip'

 

[juzz_e]

oh Liberal Party.

 

[Can Opener]

Can someone point me to the quote in the article where he uses the word disgrace?? I'm having a hard time finding it

Its a very short article, they talk about him calling it a disgrace without ever directly quoting him. Possibly paraphrased.
