And, for Eddie to say they support the extra funding to North - - well, if they didn't, then they might have to relinquish Anzac day to the general pool - - or to give up a few of their cushy Friday night games - - - as, North Melb were required to do after pioneering Friday night in the VFL/AFL when no one else wanted to go near night footy regularly for premiership points. However - - out of all this, I actually prefer our 'heritage' jumper, the royal blue with the white V. I reckon it looks great. Yep –

It's really simple: unless Collingwood wear a jumper that doesn't clash with North's, they should forfeit their rights to any premiership points in the match. Anything less than that is a pathetic caving in to the bullying of McGuire and co. I like Eddie, but his sense of entitlement in this area is arrogant to say the least.
