Fab Full Backs Never Go Out of Fashion

As the AFL attempts to cloak an otherwise uninteresting fixture of football in the nostalgia of 1970s contested football, Andrew Demeatroot and his team of market researchers have decided to distract the football population from Interstate dominance, tempo-flooding, over-officiating, chronic knee injuries and a ridiculous finals system (close to already decided) in addition to rules fit for soccer mum’s and their pampered progeny, with a period when none of these abysmal elements existed.

As Royce Hart gets written out of history and the rivalry between Peter Knights and Paul Van der Haar soon may follow, let us be thankful for a revival of old guernseys, campfire stories about brawls at Windy Hill and Nathan Carrol, who has single-handedly made homosexual jail culture a fashion statement on and off the field.
