Re: POLL: Should we wear our Aboriginal guernsey this week a
I don't think we should but I am sure we could if we wanted to as it was used as an away jumper this year and, being predominantly white, it would not clash with Port's jumper.
Re: POLL: Should we wear our Aboriginal guernsey this week a
No I don't think we should. Maybe when we play them.

Interesting that Richmond aren't playing Sydney this week.

I think the club should express itself by condemning racism (in whatever form it takes) and by urging our supporters to affirm this.
St Kilda forever ( God help me)

That was their decision. I don't know why you are interested anyway. I did vote and I voted no for my reason which was maybe wait until we play them. How did you vote and why?

Yes we should wear it, but no if it is in support of Adam Goodes.
We should wear it in tribute to the multi-cultural society that is modern day Australia.
Of which of course our First Australians are an important part.

Well if it isn't for Goodes then we shouldn't wear it as we have already worn it and we have our normal away jumper.

No, we should celebrate our unity as a species, not our outward differences
Re: POLL: Should we wear our Aboriginal guernsey this week a
Indigenous culture should be promoted way more than it is, across the board. In NZ he prominence of Maori culture, the teaching of Maori in schools, just the general celebration and integration is fantastic. Australia should really have a look at some of the stuff NZ has done to lessen the divide between indigenous people and the rest. I would have no problem with us wearing an indigenous jumper this round, and every round. It doesn't have to be over the top, just a little tip of the hat to the people whose country we came and pillaged.

How can you say it doesn't have to be over the top and then you say you wouldn't mind wearing the indigenous every round. We have our own jumper.

Re: POLL: Should we wear our Aboriginal guernsey this week a
I voted "yes" on this, but if we weren't to wear the strip this round and wore it against the Swans in Round 22, it would more than make up for not wearing it this round.plugger66 wrote:No I don't think we should. Maybe when we play them.
Not only would it be a great gesture on behalf of the club, t would make supporters who intend on booing Goodes less inclined to do so.

Nol to this week. Would mean more if we did it the week we played the bloods though.

This, and we shouldn't just leave it up to the club to do something. We can all do our own little bit !!thejiggingsaint wrote:I think the club should express itself by condemning racism (in whatever form it takes) and by urging our supporters to affirm this.
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Very utopian Carl, yet the majority of Australians voted to "Turn Back The Boats".bigcarl wrote:No, we should celebrate our unity as a species, not our outward differences
Not much unity as a species there.
The football field is a microcosm of modern Australia,
