I wouldn't care if KB and the media hadn't made a shitstorm outa it.
Yeah, we must follow our AFL leadership like demigods. These executives in AFL House have never made a mistake. eg when Ross Oakley tried to shut down Footscray-not a mistake according to all that follow blindly. These executives I think are a cut above you and me. We should just follow quietly and know that they are all-knowing DemiGods.
A perfect example is when Melbourne used to have the colours red & navy blue and they played St Kilda red, white and black.
They make Melbourne play in red, white and navy blue against St Kilda red, white and black. It was a vast improvement to the "clash". I will follow blindly my AFL rulers like a sheep as it is a lot easier on everyone.
This is an organisation, after all, that has deemed that red is a "dark colour", much like in 1984 "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength." The ministry of peace (war) has decreed it so.
