I heard something interesting yesterday afternoon at about 5pm, which I think is a brilliant move and celebrates our great competition.
Apparently the VAFA executive are considering making the team captains wear their old school blazers ala the Australian cricket team when they go to do the toss of the coin before the game. It will only be in Premier and Premier B as the competition is now mostly Old Boys teams.
I remember back when Michael Clarke was skipper of our national side, he looked like a bit of a ****** in his blazer, but Steven Smith looks quite smart.
However, there’s one game that may be a little tricky. I’m wondering what will happen when Old Scotch play St Kevin’s Old Boys and Plugger is injured so James Strauss has to toss the coin.
Does that mean that there will be two captains both wearing Scotch College blazers even though one Scotch Old Collegian is a VAFA A Grade premiership player, only because he left Old Scotch, and the one who actually plays for Old Scotch, a club that hasn’t won any sort of premiership for 40 years, will be a Scotch player?
I wish Strauss didn’t leave Scotch then it wouldn’t be the big problem that it’s going to be, hopefully he remembers he’s playing against Scotch and not for them when he wins the toss.
Oh, another thing, will the Old Trinity Captain wear his blazer or will he wear casual clothes in protest against this new VAFA rule?
Vince's best yet. Any post aimed at Strauss will always be funny.
