I think they should have fashioned the B&W stripes into boomerang shapes. Would have looked even better then.

WTF is with some of the responses in this thread? What's the big deal? Every club is doing it and it's only for one round.
I don't see the problem in celebrating and recognising indigenous Australians. |

FFS, it's B&W, what more do we have to do ... replace our song with 'Ebony & Ivory'? I don't think so.
Our club does shitloads in indig communities already and I don't feel that we need a speccy jumper to hoot and holler our creds in this field.
All we need is Eddie to do an 'AbbottWink' as an image of a certain Swannie's player swings across the 'G ... everyone will get the message ... |
Great post

I recognise and applaud the exquisit talents of indigenous footballers every time I see them play, don't need a special jumper or a round with a label to get my attention. |

Great post |
I'm actually wondering if that player will get booed, for disrespecting our great president.
Will be intersting. |

| When do they play the “we are all Australian round,” and celebrate the fact that we should all be treated the same and have no distinction made between us? We are all human, why do we continue with this divisive crap? |

Geez the AFL will sell its soul for every cause and every sponsor under the sun. Just when the code needs stability it changes jumpers and rules every week. You don't see MLB doing that! |
They will do anything for more $$$$

Great to see the old magpie motif back again. That nagpie on the fence post brings back great memories.

They are going to trot Winmar and co out every year until they croak. How many times must we be hit with a guilt trip for something that happened last millenium. They don't bring up the scum clearing Doug Nicholls to Fitzroy because the scum trainers wouldn't give him a rub down. Or QLD cricket having to apply to the Aboriginal protectorate board so Eddie Gilbert could play cricket every week. This crap is doing nothing to help the real issues in the indigineous communities of poor health, drugs, alcohol abuse, domestic violence and kids not going to school. Not to mention incarceration rates.A few lucky ones pat themselves on the back, a few journos dredge the same things up. A few dancers burn some gum leaves and everything is fine. Its not fine and no amount of jumper changing and insincere platitudes will fix it.

IMHO, Ronald the Rodent takes the cake with his observations ...
... no amount of jumper changing and insincere platitudes will fix it ...
btw, burning the eucalyptus vegetation while doing the 'welcome to country boogie' has got to be the greatest shambolic scam we've seen in some time ... practitioners of this comic art have the gall to demand the handing over of folding stuff before they'll even strike the Redhead - where does that come from? I don't believe there is another racial grouping in the world that would ask you to fork over the asking price just to get a welcome happening! Fair suck of the Rocca Brother ...
