I played Ammos in the 80s
Yes, but he registered before they got rid of the option.
This correct.
And I wish the same still applied.

Not saying it's the case here as much as the main boards, but nominating a team seems to lead to "but your team' syndrome as a method of argument.
For example.
the statement
Richmond has made the finals as often as Fitzroy since 1982 is statistically correct.However, when posted by a non-Richmond supporter the line of defence seems to be determined by the team supported by the person making the statement.
To Carlton & Melbourne supporters, "yeah, we don't tank to get draft picks".
To StKilda supporters: "yeah a lot of good it did your mob".
To Essendon supporters: "yeah, only because you took one of ours as your coaches for the next 25 years".

I hate this line of defence, as it detracts from the argument put forward in the first place.

Not having a go at Richmond supporters or the Richmond club in general, just using this statistic as an example.

Another would be the "Adelaide clash jumper looks like crap"
To Hawthorn supporters, "well, at least it's not poo and wee"
To West Coast: Yeah, it's very similar to yours"
To Essendon and Collingwood:"At least we have one, why do your teams hang on to outdated history?"


For the record, since I was 6 years old and Rosemary Fletcher, Ken's wife, Dustin's mum was my Grade 1 teacher, I have followed Essendon.

Actually pretty neutral
Not so much "new jumper" as "new logo" and "new concept"...Port Adelaide has a partnership with Foodbank, as described in the two articles - basically small partnerships with companies, and Port splits the income 50/50 with Foodbank. Guessing it means a massive yellow box on their black guernsey though!

How old are you? Serious question. I think the whole "two teams" thing is very much a young kid sorta thing.
I'm fourteen, turning fifteen later this year. I would just be going for Fremantle if the Giants were never introduced. I just liked the concept of the Giants when I first heard it, so that's why I support them. Before that I was a Fremantle fan my entire life.

I thought this thread was "new jumpers for 2012" not "let's squeal like 12 year old girls at each other"

No wonder everyone is leaving when every thread turns into the same people talking sh!t about the same thing just spread over 15 threads.
