The crows version has the "hoops" still showing but only by the colour changes of the art work which makes it work I think.
I don't really like the look of either but what it represents is brilliant and a great way to honour Indiginous people.
Alot of these 'themed' rounds in the AFL are corny commercial rubbish but not this one, infact I think more should be done this round, it should be a marque round in the AFL.
i agree in that the rounds are somewhat corny, but I think they do serve their intended purpose too, which is to highlight a specific part of our game that should be celebrated (whether that be women, indigenous people, heritage, war heroes etc etc)
I guess the ANZAC round is the one that started the "theme" but I think there is definitely room in our game for these sorts of themed rounds, even if they are blatantly commercial.

i dont see an issue with them naming every round of the season tbh.
doesnt really detract from the game itself.
i guess if you start naming it after silly stuff, then it could detract from the other causes you are trying to highlight, but other than that, go for it. adds a small extra bit of interest

Yeah left footers round was a tad embarrasing but was a foxtel gimmick wasn't it

Yeah it was a piss take of the AFL naming every second round so they jumped in on the act. AFL had nothing to do with it.
