What the supporters want - A message to Andrew Fagan

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

CAn someone confirm for me which guernsey we'll be wearing in the round 19 game at home v Essendon? I'm getting the feeling it's an away strip?

What?

Can't be. We'd have to boycott the game if we're ever forced to wear an away strip at home.

 

[Elite Crow]

Was Burton's appointment raised?

 

[Coopers]

What?

Can't be. We'd have to boycott the game if we're ever forced to wear an away strip at home.

Ur, what?

That would be some serious bullshit.

On more important matters...

Nikki's toenails were painted with a delectably brassy finish.

Next time insist she does not go barefoot!

 

[Deaneus!]

Sounds more like you've been pegged as a trouble maker.

I believe the term is "agitator"

once you guys have pushed all the guernsey changes through you should start campaigning for refusing to wear the clash guernsey in away games unless a genuine clash occurs.

whatever the money making exercise around selling clash guernseys is I'm sure it pales in significance to the unity, branding power and "consistent messaging" you'd get from playing in our great guernsey wherever we go.

as much as our new white guernsey is an improvement on the last 5 years worth of efforts could you really imagine running out on Grand Final day wearing something like that? It's a joke, and the AFL have the nerve to let Collingwood and North Melbourne run out in tops that are practically identical. The whole league should band together and put clash guernseys on strike until the rules about their use are softened or the "predominately white" rules are applied to ALL the clubs (I'm looking at you Collingwood, Richmond, Essendon...)

Essendon will wear the heritage guernsey against Port Adelaide in round three, St Kilda in round nine, Fremantle in round 11 and Richmond in round 17.

(we're round 19)

I appear to have put 2 and 2 together and got "moon landing conspiracy". I conflated these articles into "they're not wearing the 'blood-stained-from-excessive-injections' guernsey in round 19, therefore we must be wearing our clash guernsey"

So long as the AFL think Essendon's usual strip won't clash with our excellent strip, we're fine.

alternatively, essendons guernsey doesn't clash with ours, so they will wear white shorts with their ordinary Guernsey

could make a case for either argument

 

[dogs105]

did anyone ask if danger was staying?

He hasn't even thought about it

 

[FR0GGY]

He hasn't even thought about it

Why would he?

 

[dogs105]

Why would he?

plenty of time

Not brassy, actually Go with the Lava Flow

 

[Allefgib]

is that what Fages said?

It was remiss of me... I forget to suggest he looked.

Fages spoke at length on his views on clash guernseys. His opinions are not much different than most.

 

[Allefgib]

No sorry mate - didn't get to that one.

 

[NikkiNoo]

No sorry mate - didn't get to that one.

But the podcast might be able to get an interview with him at some stage this year. I'm sure we will have a chat about the move from Brisbane to Adelaide.

Non statistical role perfectly captured.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Non statistical role perfectly captured.

Except that could be statistically measured - wouldn't that count as a pressure act?

 

[Tex200]

Good point and hopefully it's of interest to people that the podcast is being supported by the club and we can therefore look forward to presenting some great content this year

Don't get too technical on me this early in the morning please Nikki!

 

[Smoooothy]

quick - abandon the sledge!!!

That would be certainly be something! Could you also get a Pyke interview before Rucci?

 

[1970crow]

Not yet.

Mumbled the same thing at the time

 

[lunacy]

I'm the one who pointed out about the yellow! Hank spoke a little more about it after that, but it was me who mentioned the yellow and that the blue is a little more royal than navy.

I actually prefer the new blue.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

I actually prefer the new blue.

Same. Don't like navy blue at all.

 

[Allefgib]

hahaha

Clearly I should have taken more than a quick glance
