I like a fight as much as anyone, but we are starting from a position of weakness. We are basically owned by the AFL, so antagonising them any further will not end up well for us. Our financial position doesn't help. The AFL can hurt us in multiple ways. I don't see how wearing the bars on round 8 and potentially losing premiership points helps us in the short or long term, on and off the field.
I think we need to continue the fight, we don't give up on the objective of bringing the bars back, but we might have to wait many years for that to happen.
In the meantime, I'd love for the club to start wearing the black and charcoal/grey/silver bars as mentioned by others. It would still be the best guernsey in the AFL, it will sell very well and it keeps the bars in front of mind.
In summary, we retreat and compromise but continue the fight.
