Lets hear what what you want to get on your soapbox about for the round?

It has to be discussed - Libba's white boots!

In the post-match video with Westy in the rooms, he didn't think they made him run as fast as he anticipated, and he's definitely not going fluoro any time soon. Hopefully he'll be back in black next week.

But Libba in white boots just seemed so wrong. I'm trying to think what else would seem so wrong? Brad Hardie in a sleeveless top is the closest thing that comes to mind.

Glad you brought this up. It has been a pet hate of mine for years - the multi coloured boots. For gods sake, the players are supposed to be wearing a uniform - not multi colours that don't match.

You really are an old fuddy duddy. There are some fantastic boots going around these days and it gives players a small opportunity to be an individual. Some of those personalised hand-painted indigenous boots are exceptional.

Libba however stands out because he doesn't wear lairy boots. Otherwise would likewise standout if they suddenly went to black.

I don't think there's any football code which requires same colour boots for all their players.

Sanders with the socks down. I'm really a fan having them up for him

Not sure if you noticed but there were a couple of photo's of Cody wearing different colored boots at training last week. I don't know if it was for medical or fashions reasons.

No, I didn't see that.

Nothing to do with being an old fuddy duddy, everything to do with a uniform that everyone is expected to wear.

You want to be different that is fine -haircuts or colour your hair, or tattoos etc - boots are meant to be part of the uniform

Re: The Monday Soapbox - R20

My funny soapbox is the bombers supporters giving it to Carlton fans Friday night on how feral they are to the players when they lose.
Then bombers lose and Carlton fans giving it to bomber fans how feral they are to their own players when they lose.
I know we can turn against our own at times but they go above and beyond feralism (if that’s a word) like no other fans.

I hate the Bombers so much, I almost enjoyed seeing the now iconic Essendon scarf toss as much as our win.

Boots aren't part of the official uniform. I'm not sure when clubs last provided specific boots for players to wear, if ever.

So our players should wear red, white & blue boots?

No use wearing black as it doesn't match our kit.

When have they ever been part of the uniform?
