News UPDATE: SANFL rescind approval for AFC using state style jumper

Didn't mind him having an opinion, he and Rowie pretty much take an opposing view on everything, it gets people talking.

It's the old good cop, bad cop routine.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Where can I buy one. I'm wearing it to the game.

I'm tempted, especially with that awesome logo on the back collar.

Three guernseys using the same design. Only one of them is the state guernsey.

But it isnt. The state guernsey has a lighter blue

Will they read the "Creed" before the match?

Creed - RIP Sep 2007

Very smart move AFC. Also a great way to unite a divided supporterbase against one common enemy

 

[Greatness23]

That's exactly my point. The middle one is the state guernsey. The other two are the same design but in their clubs colours.

Brilliant all round.

Extra spice for that match against the ferals down the road.

Was there this much uproar in 2005 when we wore the 1930s State jumper?


Or are Tealsters a bit more precious now?

It's actually divided many of your own!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Not saying we need it as ammunition, but it definitely shifts the burden of winning the game back onto your shoulders. Unless you want to be associated with the team that sullied the state jumper by losing to a club side?

Meh. I'd say the burden of winning is evenly shared regardless of what jumper you wear.

Ironic you feel the need to comment given your avatar...........

When you say "divided" you mean 99% for 1% against?

Learning to read takes years, they only have a month.

i wonder if this was an agreement made at the same time we were told port would host the first game. apart from pissing off bone, i couldn't care less. i'd be happy if we were wearing our original guernsey. pissing off the port supporters, i don't care whether they're pissed off or not.

still reckon me purchasing 2 memberships last night is bigger news.

Yep, it would be interesting to know what Jumbo thinks of it but I see the positives

I am disappointed my guess of a Seekers concert did not come to fruition.

If Dangerfield and Slone are willing to captain a side wearing an SA jumper then they're not the men they are pretending to be. Can any of you honestly believe that Kernahan would pull on a Victorian jumper for any reason?

Stop living in the 90's man.

Didn't blighty captain the big v?

 

[RonSon]

I honestly don't think many of the players will really care. Particularly your non SA players.

So wearing it will mean little to your players too, especially the interstaters like your 3 captains?

The Crows are saying this is about honouring SA football.

I guess my point is - if it means so little to your players, what is the point? Surely if it's about honouring SA football you would wear it at your first home game where all of your SA fans can attend and show their appreciation and honour the past? Or is it an attempt at earning a few bucks selling merchandise and trying to gain a little traction after the last few off seasons and being pretty quiet this pre season?

If a north melbourne supporter fell in a forest, would anyone give a shit?

 

[Mike Smyth]

probably thinks alot less of it then someone putting him in a port power jumper.

Is that you Oprah? Drama queen.

Sad that some average footballers can wear the state jumper
