Theyll be talking all things crows I fear
We've already agreed that we wouldn't wear it against Collingwood - that should be the end of their involvement in the matter. And no concession on merchandising rights, just to get conditional AFL approval. For ****'s sake, just let us thrive you bastards!
Would love Cometti to come out tonight on the Front Bar and state that this is why non Victorians are so frustrated with the league. He let something intentionally slip last year when the Grand Final venue discussion was happening when he "accidentally" said VFL instead of AFL. He only does Perth Radio games nowdays so he's not at the behest of Channel 7 or the AFL, he can say what he wants. Hope he does.
I will extremely disappointed if Greg Phillips takes the diplomatic response. I'd love him to come our and say, "I played 4 seasons at Collingwood, my daughter plays for the Crows, my son in law plays for Hawthorn, but my heart is Port Adelaide and in my opinion it is the greatest guernsey of all and Port should be able to wear it whenever they want!"

If you read thread on the topic you will see that that idea has already been floated a couple of days ago.

They'd probably dock points I reckon. They can threaten it but wont go through with it. and watching it play out in the media will only get more people on side. If we were wooden spoon contenders right now, the AFL + media could ignore us completely and the general sentiment from opposition...

There's a fair bit of that to it, but AFL know this isn't going to go away - Brisbane are allowed to wear a Fitzroy jumper, the Eagles pull out their old flag jumper for 25, 30 etc year anniversaries, as well as other clubs, get to wear jumpers for special occasions - so they know there has to be some solution.
There have been so many bloody themed rounds over the years the AFL should invent a new one - Premiership Anniversary round.
Clubs in that round chose which jumper they won a premiership in from whenever they started in what ever competition, so clubs can wear a jumper they wore to win a flag be it in WAFL, SANFL, VFL, VFA, AFL or ammos.
That way it solves a lot of issues. And there is no marketing restrictions on production of the jumper.
And unlike St Kilda who only have 1 jumper to wear, we have 37.
I wonder if we gathered support from other big traditional clubs to wear it on ANZAC day or something.

We asked to wear in SHOWDOWNS! That is the easiest of all the request we could have made for the league, and yet they've managed to blow it!

Geelong would. Bobby Quinn's older brother Tommy won the flag for Port in 1928, went to Geelong after 1930 season ended, won flags in 1936 and 37 with Geelong, coached them after WWII and made their team of the century. Play in jumpers from 1936 - both clubs won a flag that year - for the Quinn Cup.

Does anyone even get to see the showdown?
Finals time is when we need to go all out with this sort of stuff. and make AO as hostile as possible for Gill and co. if they are stupid enough to turn up.
New afl logo with EFL perhaps

I don't think any other clubs really care about it, it's only collingwood who are kicking up a fuss and it's only collingwood that the afl are listening to.

You try and broker a deal so everyone saves a bit of face and looks like everybody has won something. The AFL became custodian of the game in 1993 taking over from the Australian National Football Council. A Premiership Anniversary round, it can say the decision is made with its custodian of the game hat on.
I agree its BS that they are so weak, but if you try and find a solution, let it looks like they came up with it, its better than 25-50-100 years of this BS.

Was speaking with the Vice President of our CS, and he’s already putting his fingers out to see how we can get the ball rolling.
We should immediately change our jumpers and drop the teal (not that I have a problem with it) but if we aren’t running out in a black and white striped jumper Collingwood don’t have a leg to stand on.
