Jumper Issue

[Blueinblood]

Dont we usually have to wear our clash jumper against Port when it is their home game? I recall Swan saying we would never wear our Clash Jumper again after the Melbourne match. Wha happens if we are required to and we dont. Hmmmm

 

[walshy93]

Fined.


I'm with Swanny, we don't need to wear that shyt.

We get fined roughly $5k for each player not in correct uniform...........so roughly $100k fine.

Swanny was talking it up, but we won't do it. We can't afford to just throw away hundreds of thousand's of dollars like that.

Having said that, we should make some demands.

We don't really clash with anyone, especially the Saints, Freo or the Dees.

Clash jumpers are all about selling product and nothing about the visual spectacle......which for mine has been damaged.

Anyone cop the Dees jumper on the weekend...........stank it up big time.

Here's hoping that we can somehow get out of wearing that monstrosity of a jumper at the weekend - although if it means we'd get a fine from the AFL, then I suppose we would have to wear it.

And I agree with you BB, the Melbourne jumper is a shocker.

 

[AlecDuncan]

We'll wear it and put the $100k towards a CHF (priorities people!). The jumper's OK IMNSHO, just our performances in it stink. Sadly I'm not expecting it to get any better this weekend.

i third bb on the melbourne one. At least ours isnt that bad

 

[KCola]

Completely ridiculous having to wear them this weekend. I like the white strip (I mean, it could've been far worse), but there is clearly no jumper clash with Port. The AFL is run by monkeys when it comes to jumpers.

We should have thought of that before recruiting Ackland.

clash jumpers are just pathetic

No he said it after the St Kilda game then we wore it against Melbourne. caved in.

he said we'd wear it for the melbourne game and not after that

 

[WeninRome]

No he said it after the St Kilda game then we wore it against Melbourne. caved in.

actually this is incorrect.

Swan said that we had to wear it the Melbourne game, but would be the last time we wear it this year.

In saying this, if we wear it on sunday then he has caved in.

What a joke this has become, how simple football use to be.

sorry you got in before me... didn't mean too...

 

[thylacine60]

Bye bye, Victa. Now it will run on 2 stroke gasolene I suppose.

We should have thought of that before recruiting Ackland.

That actually served a purpose.

By paying Ackland over the odds it absorbs some of the Salary cap, hence not making it available to others during the time he is contracted..........keeping a lid on their wage demands.

Now that we have a number of "guns" our of contract, we can free up the $300k and spread it around to Murph, Waite, Fisher etc......and keep them happy.

Ackland was a financial tool mistaken for a footballer.

Take a look at the poor bloke's player pic. He looks to have been in the gun from day 1.

 

[gbatman]

I don't give a rats arse what we wear, as long as we play well and stick it up Cornes and the rest of them!

good man, think you could get that through to the players at all?

 

[matt decat]

im sure that pratt would be able to donate $100,000 to the club.

 

[WeninRome]

Why don't all clubs just use their heritage jumpers for clash?

Is that a birthmark on his forehead?
