    Re: New Indigenous jumper

    I like it, and I like it more for knowing the story behind the different elements.

    Re: New Indigenous jumper

    I feel like I understand it more when I read Brett's story about it. I already liked it but knowing the backstory makes me like it even more.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    I really like the aboriginal dot style, the snaking and the fish skeletons. The red white and blue are not the usual aboriginal colours so that is a challenge.

    Hmm can’t say I’m a fan. I think it’s just WAY too busy.

    Have to agree here, most of them are just too busy for a football jumper, fine for a close up piece of art but from a distance it looks a mess.

    On the same subject, the afl website has a link to all the clubs jumpers and the designers, with I think all the indigenous players from each club wearing them.
    Scroll down to our club and we have Easton Wood sporting the top.
    Kind of embarrassing that we are the only club (correct me if i'm wrong) that does not have an indigenous player on the list.

    We don't, it is.

    Not a coincidence that Impey and Wingard both picked Hawthorn over us.

    Re: New Indigenous jumper

    Nicholls Round might be the best awareness/inclusion concept the AFEL have implemented but I'm still yet to see a themed guernsey that succeeds. Visually, our jumper's a shocker but so is everyone else's.

    Anyway, happened upon this ace Indigenous Players Country Map from the AFLPA website, albeit the 2018 edition.

    It's 2019 and seems we're still the only club in the league without an AFL listed indigenous player. I hope that changes.

    Re: New Indigenous jumper

    So it's that time of the year again when we trot out Sam Lloyd or Easton Wood in our Indigenous guernsey because we don't have a First Nations player on the list. Are we still the lone holdout honouring people who who've long since moved on from the club?

    This is more a lament than a criticism but Sir Doug Nicholls' Round embraces messages that are more vital than ever and it's a rare opportunity to feel good about the broader culture of the game, so anyone else feeling a little left out?

    In b4 "we tried" and "but Jamarra".

    I know what you are saying but our list is what it is. As long as there is no systemic recruiting along race-lines (like some VFL/AFL clubs have been tarnished with in history) then it is something we just have to live with.

    I feel more left-out when we are not making a deep-run into the Finals!

    Have-a read in the Dogs Day forum the articles I posted about the good things the club is doing with the indigenous programmes.
