Black Armbands

[ClarkeM]

Will we wear them? For the Diggers who fought for our country?
I don't see why not.

I'd say so. They normally do don't they???

Pretty sure they wore them last year, so I think they will do it again......

They wear them every year, I once sat down after the last post and anthem and noted to my mate that someone must have died as both teams are wearing black armbands, he looked at me as if it was the dumest call he had heard at a footy match, took me a while to register

2007 - Most Collingwood players wore black armbands, no Essendon players wore them

you don't wear black armbands for anzacs on anzac day

I saw Freo wearing them last night, and a couple wearing two arm bands, was that for the Anzacs or for something else?

Maybe individual players had a family member who fought/died in the war or something....?

I thought maybe that, I have seen Scotland, and Cloke in the Blues/Crows game wearing 2 arm bands as I just asked as someone said you didn't wear the arm bands for the Anzacs on Anzac day but Freo and I believe Geelong were. And at least 2 Freo players had 2 on.

Cloke is wearing two armbands because someone that used to wear his number at the Blues died.
