Has anyone noticed............

[forward pass]

...That our shorts seem to be really long these days? Is that to fit more sponsors logos on them. We look like soccer players.

This occurred to me when watching some of the classic matches on Fox and they were a lot shorter back then. Anyone watch the 2004 Eels v Knights match last night. Perfect example.

Big issue this one. Thoughts?

Long is the new Short bro. Get with it.

Nice observation, WTF was Kearney thinking!

 

[Eels Dude]

The shorts aren't any longer. Our players have just shrunk.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Sack the board. Sack the coach.

This is a shrewd strategic move by the board to counter the AFL push into western sydney.

Clearly short shorts are worn by the poofs that play that game. Real men playing a real man's sport wear the longer shorts.

could also reflect the greater number of players wearing thermo-bike pant-woofter gear underneath the footy shorts.

 

[strider]

clearly modern day players have bigger schlongs, hence need bigger pants to carry them :thumn

What happened to Hindys arm?

 

[E_Cantona]

So bare midriff is ok, but no scrotal visibilty?

Looking forward to hearing how this fits in with knee size ratios.

• Tim Smith
• Daniel Anderson
• Brian Smith
• Denis Fitzgerald
• Steve Kernery
• Felati Mateo
• PJ Marsh
• luke Burt
• any other whipping boy since 1986

How fix it?

• sack the coach
• sack the board
• blame the pokie tax
• promote that kids from the U/8's that played 15mins of good football once
• make a five year plan
• whinge about it in every thread

Problem solved

By omitting Judas from your fault list you have condoned his behaviour.

I'm relieved to know it's not Paul Carige's fault. How come nobody blames Greg Hartley for anything?

It's automatically assumed in discussions about Parra

I was only 7, and I could count to 500...how come he couldn't count to 6?

It's bloody winter. My shorts would touch the tops of my shoes.

Where has the 3/4 sleeve gone?

Capper has a low centre of gravity.
