2018 Rd 9: Post Game Calm: Carlton vs Melbourne

[northernblue]

Remember how heavy the old jumpers used to be when you took them off, it was like carrying around a bag of lead?

My son's kit absorbs no water at all, they come of the ground in the rain and underneath they are almost dry and the kit weighs nothing!

It's interesting, I'm not sure about the materials or tech in the jumpers today, but back in my day long sleeve jumpers made you neither warmer nor better at marking. The only thing they guaranteed was that in the rain you'd be carrying around any extra kilo or two once they were soaked and covered in mud!

Make up your mind, do you support or oppose the wearing of long sleeve jumpers in the wet?
Are the jumpers heavier or lighter... ?
The original opinion offered was that the players wearing long sleeves were inadequate...
