Brad Close in the Indigenous long sleeve

Pretty sure he has worn a long sleeve every game he has played so far.

 

[its been done]

I just noticed the yellow circle in the center of The Gabba is not actually there

They've been CGI'ing the centre circle Coles logo too. Wondering if it's to help the pitch block by not constantly having a heap of paint on it.

I just thought the painters were struggling to paint within the lines!

Took me a while to work out what they were doing with the circle, just looks like dead grass.

 

[Speck]

I thought the Saints weren’t wearing theirs?

Something changed during the week and it got sorted.

This falls in the not really a clash but a s**t contrast bucket.

 

[Barrybran]

I'm liking this Giants jumper. Probably their best Indigenous jumper yet.

I assume given the Saints would have clashed with Freo anyway that Freo also has a white Indigenous jumper as they've done in recent seasons?

Black and white don't clash...

Purple and black do though

Purple and black do though

sorry, that’s me being dumb. I forgot Freo had a purple jumper this year.

It would definitely be to do with the wicket block. The Gabba ground staff are notoriously precious about their sacred wicket.

why the Gabba hasn't moved to a drop in wicket gets me beat

Because it’s a cricket ground, not a football ground.

We’ve got enough roads in Australia without turning the Gabba into one.

more games of AFL football held at the Gabba in 2020 then cricket games

We’ve got enough roads in Australia without turning the Gabba into one.

That's a bit of an untruth looking at Adelaide Oval even in red-ball (as opposed to pink) cricket, with improvement in the pitch conditions. And Optus with similar pitches to the WACA.
But fears of not being able to replicate current conditions are definitely a factor.

It’s a cricket ground that’s used for football. It’s official name is the Brisbane Cricket Ground.

Were Hawthorn the only team that had the additional sponsor above numbers?

Port had SANTOS.

I think santos was an official indigenous jumper sponsor.
West coast had the foundation logo on the back.

Hated seeing nib on the back of the tigers kit

West Coast always have the Wirrapanda foundation logo on their indigenous guernseys
