Collingwood’s jumper stance defies belief
May 4 2009
How much longer will the AFL let Collingwood get away with pale blue murder? The farcical sight of North Melbourne turning out in a sleeveless variation on the Argentine national soccer strip, with the blue stripes barely distinguishable from the white – for a “home” game, mark you – was the latest example of the league’s weak-kneed stance on this issue, which has included the approval of Collingwood’s so-called clash jumper even though it is no such thing.
What a load of old cobblers! It’s always dodgy when you let academics loose on sport. The first edition of the Oxford Companion to Australian Sport a few years ago was riddled with errors of fact and misspellings of people’s names – and most of them were still wrong in the second edition!

Spot on, Redb. If you remember, I was one of the few at the start of the season who thought he’d make something of his chance. Keep it going, Ben. Go Tiges!

I find Kelli’s style very acceptable. She’s obviously trying to avoid the annoying trap into which most TV commentators still fall – calling it blow-by-blow as though they’re on radio – and reminds me a bit of Tony Charlton. Stick with her, Ten, she’ll be worth it.
