'Handy' Andy Maher is the king of the post-'Eddie-est' TV presenter-cum-footy-analyst-cum-multifunction-tool, era. Not only does he look like the kind of guy you'd call a dropkick at high-school, he talks like one. In fact he talks like a really intellectual accountant, if there is such a living entity, it's something in that Kerferd Road lisp that does it. Makes you want kick a footy into his head at full pelt.
So Mr. Maher, the most-credible-footy-analyst on Channel 10, puts his three cents in tonight by trying to start another worthless 'controversy' by bagging the fact that Chris Judd – a Victorian, and probably the best footballer on the planet at the moment – was wearing the Western Australian state jumper as part of this weeks' 'Heritage Week' promotional event (for those that don't know, the 'Heritage Week' is part of this bullshit jumper-experiment, with this week's colours being the quite distinctive 70's jumpers and shorts).
Personally the new-team-colour fiasco is pathetic, and more evidence of Mr. Dimsimitrious' eroding the heart and soul of the great game, but more importantly, evidence of the divide-and-conquer corporatisation of the game into the 'entertainment' that it is today. I might be ranting, but I ain't bitter, I accept that that's the way things work today, and good luck to 'em. Players these days don't play for 'the jumper' they play for lucrative 3-year contracts. Which goes back to the fact that Drew Maher's 'rant' is purely the words of an idiot. If Chris Judd was told to wear a bloomin' tutu for the AIDS-Femmo Heritage week, he'd wear it, and still rack up 30 possessions.
