Red round wasn't a legitimate thing.

It had more coverage than some of the legit rounds. If only they put as much effort into the other rounds as they did to taking the piss.
That's because it's a Fox Footy thing rather than AFL. It's a cheeky response to the derpy "uhhh but they don't have men's/whites/redhead" round. They also did left-footers if I'm not mistaken. Once was enough though, surely.
I've come to the conclusion Mark Evans is an idiot

It's exactly that kind of thinking that ****ed everyone off in the first place. By association with the AFL and your own standards you are a racist.
Sport and politics should be kept separate.
Gay round? What about bisexual or transgender round?
Indigenous get their own themed round, but everyone else gets lumped into multicultural round?
So there's 9 games right...how many extra languages are they going to be broadcasting in?
Which languages are included? Which are excluded? How did they pick which ones to use and which to exclude?
See where I'm going with this?
Where does it stop?
The AFL needs to stop trying to be some sort of social justice crusader and worry about what it's meant to worry about, the bloody football.
If the AFL wanted to help charities, they'd approach every reputable charity in the country and come up with a timetable of which grounds which charity which round, and allow them to setup a small marquee or two, and have people walking the concourses raising donations. Simple.
We don't need all these "themed" rounds. Because it's never going to end.
No, it's about the football being about the football and not the AFL trying to win more fans by holding some stupid themed rounds about this social issue or that social issue.
It's not about whether us white campaigners care or not. It's about the fact that we go to the footy, or tune in to the footy, for one thing...the ******* football.

Was there ever a gay round?
Like I asked Adz2332 do this themed rounds effect the way you view the ******* football? If not, why does it matter whether we have themed rounds or not?

All the more options for Sammy Colquhoun to kick a ball into.

If there was they should call it the Reacha Round.
I don't know, I tune out and forget about it until it comes up again next year.
So far all it's done is made me lose interest in that particular weekend of footy.
What I'm saying is, where will it end? How many more themed rounds for some stupid social issue will we get, before it's more about the AFL being crusaders for every social issue and less about the footy? Do we wait for it get out of hand before speaking up or act pre-emptively.
The coverage he has received from it is worth well over $10k. Smart guy

So just because a round is labelled 'Indigenous Round' or 'Women's Round' you lose interest in the whole weekend of footy? Seems pretty childish to me. It's not like the AFL is stopping in the middle of a game to recognise these issues. The football is still there whether it's a themed round or not.
I really hope someone with a lazy $10k lying around puts a Moggs Creek tourism billboard in it's place at the end of the season.
No, although it's been mooted this week. That people can get so upset over a hypothetical themed game/round as overkill is telling.
I'm yet to see someone from the "let's keep sport and politics separate" camp that doesn't have a regressive point of view when it comes to to recognising the views of minorities.
Let's face it, from Jackie Robinson to the raised fist salutes, Charlie Perkins, Nicky Windmar and Adam Goodes, sport has always been at the forefront of race relations. In many cases, it is the only regular access that people get to minority communities in their everyday lives - see the "I'm not racist, I like the Aboriginal players at my club" crowd.
End of the day, no one's asking you to do anything. You don't have to give up your land, job, dignity or time. Just don't be a dick, and trust people's perspective on their own experience.
