**** the networks. Worried that the home viewers will struggle to distinguish the teams. Sick of the AFL kowtowing to these people. Partnership my ass. So what if they paid 2 billion dollars. Doesn't give them the right to **** with a hundred years of tradition. Why don't Richmond grow a pair, and stand for something. Instead of the other 17 clubs whining when the Pies refused to relent, why didn't they join the fight? When are the clubs going to stand together on an issue, any issue, instead of bickering among themselves. Richo was whining about this issue tonight on the air. Does he know it's his bosses fault? Why doesn't he get his boss on the line. Ask him directly. Get him to explain himself. In fact, get him to do an eye test. Here's one:
g. e. t. y. o. u. r.
g. r. u. b. b. y.
h. a. n. d. s.
o. f. f. o. u.
r. g. a.
m. e.
And here's a message for Bartlett. (And my condolences to Tigers fans, because I know what it's like to have a past player who's dumber that a block of wood, and even worse when he has a voice on radio for 3 hours every day). He obsesses with the Pies away strip, and mocks it for being black on white, instead of white on black. Has he not noticed that there's an unequal number of B&W stripes? This means it looks significantly different inverted. And has he not noticed that the stripes have disappeared completely from the back of the Pies jumper this year? So there you go. The Pies have relented after all. They shouldn't have. Nor should anyone else.
