I have random AFL thoughts. Can any experts here provide answers to my musings?
This is a bit like an ‘ELI5’ or ‘AskReddit’ post, but specifically for the AFL environment. I know it’s self-indulgent, too. I just figure there’d be people here with knowledge, exposure or experience in the AFL industry who can scratch my itch.
Thank you in advance for your insights and I hope others have additional curly questions - I love learning random stuff on Reddit 🤓
Do players get fresh jumpers every week, or are they just laundered?
How many spare jumpers would each player have on hand per game and what happens if they all somehow got ripped up?
Who are the male choir singers who perform all the club songs? When were these all recorded/refreshed?
Where in the stadium does the siren button pusher sit?
What kinds of sledges are tacklers yelling into the earlobe of the player they just pinged?
Do travelling teams have to pack all their sponsor signage for interstate change rooms or is every team’s livery kept in storage?
I often see the midfielders huddle before each centre bounce. Would they have a ‘playbook’ for centre bounces and are they calling their next play?
