I can't say with absolute certainty, but I think it is an AFL requirement that away strip always must have white shorts
I don't understand why it must be so. The NRL for example allow certain teams to have coloured shorts with their away strips
I agree coloured shorts for MFC away srips would go a long way to improving the look
Have you tried emailing the AFL and/or MFC?
I had hopes for Darling. Thought he might be a bit of a Brereton.
Of course that depended on FD assessing his off-field stability. Seems they assessed it too risky. C'est la vie.
Maybe Howe will provide some X factor?
Hahaha!
If you didn't already know I have a very acute aversion to "predominately white" no matter how cleverly disguised
Unfortunately no medication helps me
From the AFLs perspective you are right. And it leaves enough slack to employ a lot of spin. No doubt an AFL CEO performance payrise in the future.
To me however its more a question of religion. I'm more interested in converts (players, fans, media).
Geez. I know all that.
We are on a victorian forum and as I said I used the term to encompass both codes for brevity, instead e.g. of saying "rugby league and rugby union".
If it was a sydney forum I probably wouldn't have put it that way
your point on correct terminology is valid but not your point on being ignorant of sport in sydney. Clumsy maybe.
And BTW I'm not saying the AFL shouldn't tackle the market. Just that it is a very difficult market with high risk and long odds of success. Of course in the end it depends on how you measure "success". The AFL have the funds to bankroll it for decades. To me ultimate success will be when Sydney bred players represent at least 10% of all AFL players and AFL gets decent media coverage in Sydney.
Don't be a smartarz Thomo.
I used the term 'rugby' to cover both league and union.
Its presumptuous of you to assume what we know and don't know
and lets not get into a "what is rugby" argument (or for that matter "what is football" argument)
Nice try, but no cigar
