And for the record, baseball caps are fine to wear to a night game.

Half of their purpose is to shield baseball players eyes from the stadium lights at night.

If you're trying to spot a baseball in the lights, then baseball caps are fine.

If you're a spectator watching AFL at night where the play is at ground level and the lights are half a kilometre in the air.

You're a galah.

Just so the thread doesn't get continually derailed, here are morell's top 10 style tips for the unassuming gentleman (21+) attending the football

1. Under no circumstances should you wear game day apparel (guernsey, shorts) unless you're a player in said team. Grand Finals excepted.
2. Gimmick items normally purchased at the Royal Adelaide show (jester hats, wizard hats, mohawks et al) are never permissible.
3. Caps are totally fine on sunny days, provided they are worn frontwards to protect from the sun. Never backwards! Ever!
4. Merchandise should either be new and relevant to the season or vintage. Please stop wearing that faded polo from 2011.
5. Scarves/Beanies are great, in fact encouraged. Smothering them in player badges or other shit, is not. Sauce and mustard stains understandable.
6. Face painting? Are you ******* 8 years old? No.
7. Weather appropriate clothes please. No one cares about your beach biceps. You look like a twat freezing in the cold with your sleeveless vest.
8. Sunglasses obviously an essential item, but try and find a pair that don't look like they're from the Caltex on O'Connell street.
9. Its a rule in life, but never, ever wear sneakers with jeans. Ever. No excuses, I don't care if they're super expensive retro Nikes. Grow up.
10. Football should be neat casual. Enough with the nightclub attire because you think there might be someone drunk and cute on the hill.

Ok, there we go, now back to the footy!

It's only an additional 2 years on his current role (assuming PAFC offer him an extension).

He'd be crazy to take on that basket case, they'll be lucky to be around in 5yrs.. could ruin his career.

LOL, Triple M "mail".

Jars - Dangerfield has signed with Adelaide
Jars - Clarkson will coach Adelaide

The "mail" "Ditts" is going with was mentioned on Monday night on two footy shows. They're almost as slow with updating their "news" as they are their music.
PAFC. Forever.

5 years at I would assume huge coin. Could probably go close to setting himself up for the rest of his life. That, and if he got them competitive he'd be well positioned to move into footy director type roles once he's done.

2 years at notso huge coin with Port, fail and he's on the scrap heap.
