Do you think AFL footballers should tuck their jumpers into their shorts?

Question

In basketball it is a technical foul if they don't do so.

What do you think of this practice in Aussie rules?

Answer 1

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!...

Sorry I like it the way it is : D

: P

Answer 2

I'm from the old school of thought. I much prefer to see a player with socks up & jumper in. They look more professional than some who look real scruffy.

I think when they are representing their club on the big arena should take some pride in appearance.

Answer 3

With the pace of the game, I don't think that a player would be concerned with grooming.

Look at the Geelong player who had his shorts ripped off his backside during a match.He wouldn't have had anywhere to tuck his jumper.

Answer 4

It just feels better un-tucked. Its probably more mental, but you have a sense of more mental then anything. Actually, it might be a throwback to the Year 7 days when the kids who tucked their shirts in got a touch up...

Answer 5

If it doesn't affect the way they play then who cares, their jumper if tucked in would only be pulled out in the first tackle.

Answer 6

Yes i can say there is good reason behind this practice as when your tackling someone its much easier when there jumper hangs out to grab.

Answer 7

No it would look dorky.

Answer 8

its a fast game, so i dont think a player is going to stop and tuck there jumpers in

Answer 9

That would be s**y

Answer 10

yep

Answer 11

nah and it has never been enforced unlike netball

Answer 12

Many years ago they did and it was apart of their uniform. Some I think still do and some dont. But I also think its a safety thing too, you could have your jumper tucked in and someone could get caught with their arm wrapped up in their jumper.(dont know how?)

Besides I think it looks ridiculous having them tucked in and I think most of their jumpers usually only sit at the hip and are not long enough to be tucked in.
