Surely the biggest "matchday wear" would be guernseys? Don't see too many rocking the footy shorts look these days.

Surely the biggest "matchday wear" would be guernseys? Don't see too many rocking the footy shorts look these days.

True, but what I'm questioning is, is this talking about matchday wear, or is it talking about all apparel ie including t-shirts, polos, hoodies, sweaters, jackets, scarves, beanies etc.

What would be the industry average of matchday wear apparel vs all other apparel be?

Bye bye Eddie

[The Rubber Man]

Hopefully the next collingwood president doesn't also think he owns the league.

Bucks is on borrowed time now

An open letter from community leaders called on McGuire to move on immediately in the wake of the report, which detailed systemic racism.
“We believe Eddie McGuire has proven himself incapable of leading the Collingwood Football Club through any meaningful transformation. We call on him to step down immediately,” the letter read.
“We stand with Heritier Lumumba

and his call for Collingwood to acknowledge its failure to prevent him from being subjected to racism by his teammates, as well as the decision by senior club figures, including Eddie McGuire and Nathan Buckley, to punish and discredit him when he spoke up against racism and came forward with his experiences.

Good

FMD, I didn't pick that, thought he would tough it out for next 11 months.

Good, now Port has to go hard with the bars presentation to the AFL Commission and get at least the showdown in Rd 8 approved for this year.

 

[powermacs]

I was really worried that he’d get an important role at the AFL. This should put that to bed. He’ll be doing podcasts with Sam Newman within the year.

 

[Papa G]

Hope somebody throws a shoe at him in the presser.

 

[Marmozet]

Prison Bars!!

 

[Steve Dore]

This truly is “an historic and proud day for the Collingwood Football Club"

 

[Flash of power]

A proud and historic event that will open the doors to Port in prison bars! LOL

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Eddie is talking up his 22+ years in his presser - the proud stuff.

Apparently will make a statement with no questions.

 

[The Rubber Man]

Currently pointing out all the good they do, still waiting for an apology for the racism.

Edit... The apology never came

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Now that fat *s gone get the prison bars back

 

[Grave Danger]

I googled 'Boned!' to look for a suitable image to mark Eddie's demise - don't try this at work folks.

‘We’re not racist, far from it”

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Haha Eddie works in the sponsors names to say they have been under pressure.

 

[The Rubber Man]

Ahhhh we just got the answer as to why he is leaving. Sponsors would go if he didn't step down.

 

[Flash of power]

His speech is all about how good he is, guess it shouldn't be a surprise.

 

[PAFC66]

Perfect. So time to wear the prison bars every game now.

 

[pastmyprimus]

There was a rumour around Melbourne that one big sponsor was planning not to renew if he stayed this year.

Eddie had to be blasted out and in the end the sponsors had enough dynamite to make that happen.

The AFL club apparel battle: Guess who sells the most

Take a look at the leaders of one of football's most important off-field battlegrounds

Didn't Port claim to have record merch sales last year? Sure I get the flag winners sell lots of merch, but we aren't in the conversation? Is it because we drag our financial reporting out till mid Feb where just about everybody else has reported? Is the reporting just bogus? and simply there to buoy the Big Vic teams? Is what comes out of the club complete sh*t?

The kicker with this is that Puma readily supplied merchandise to Richmond and Carlton. Meanwhile, you've got a whole bunch of clubs that were probably knocking on ISC's door asking to put in more orders and not getting any response back.
