What are your thoughts? Why have just one round respecting and acknowledging indigenous Australians. Why shouldn't we have this as a permanent thing.
Should all team Jerseys have permanent indigenous artwork

WHY?

Indigenous Australians have a permanent place in our history. Those jerseys are better than the original anyway.
It seems pointless to me, one of those times that the "virtue signalling" cries that swamp any efforts to reduce real problems would actually be justified.
There is little footy can do except make sure everyone is treated with respect by everyone.

Virtue signalling which in most instances pushes reconciliation further apart.

If a club wanted to change their jumpers they can, over time all clubs have evolved their designs.
But no, I don't think all teams "should" have indigenous artwork on them. But if they all decided to do it voluntarily, then that's fine.

Nein.
A ridiculous idea.
Next we’ll be suggesting we put the aboriginal colours on a vegemite jar.

Is this some kind of a joke?
No. And indigenous jumpers should only be worn on the designated weekend. It ridiculous that club wear them on an ad-hoc approach during other rounds. Significance of what Indigenous round loses its impact.

It seems to be some sort of discussion, but it's got you talking about it.

Do you think any teams would consider it?
Personally I think the Dockers should consider it. They might actually then have a nice jumper
YES!

It will happen one day, I guarantee it.
We will also have welcome to country ceremonies before every single game.

Not for mine. Many guernseys already have their historic tradition and not everything needs to pay homage to everything.
There are other ways for the game to acknowledge indigenous people and their involvement in the game, such as the round.

It is a no from me. I like the celebratory round, it makes for plenty of discussion at the time which is clearly needed in our society.
I wouldn’t mind seeing more of the flag (and Australian one as well) painted into the grass or something like that.
