The best bit was he started out as a drill squad played to rep oppo players for the women’s team and was spotted by the men’s coach who made him a walk on for the men’s bball team.

It did appear as though the AFL has their own collection of Alireza Faghani’s, this was not even called a foul

Holy shit. The photo is even more brutal.

Poor bastard.

Yeah but that’s where VAR gets it so wrong when it freeze frames down to that level….

Hopefully The Gunners, and The Spurs, tell him to get fucked

The Victorian Fumblekicky League is like a annoying yappy insecure poodle that needs constant attention & validation when the real big dogs come to town. They’re seriously fucked in the head.

Just had a look on the post, apparently the guy doesn’t actually work for the AFL. He works for the company that owns Sherrin.

It is telling though, that someone linked to the AFL has direct contacts that would know how to make something like this happen. Like I can assume Sydney FC doesn’t have direct contact with Arsenal or anyone like that, but at the very least they’d know who to contact to make it work. He’s having to ask on Linkedin of all places.

It sure is surprising that Sherrin hasn’t had much success breaking into the international market.

That guy isn’t very good at his job.

Found the Spurs media contact details in less than 1 minute. Just googled “Tottenham Hotspur Media Team”.

integrate the iconic Sherrin into any content

It just so random though.

It would be like Burton Snowboards partnering with the Australian cricket team during the ashes to “integrate the iconic Burton into any content”.

Totally different sport, different nations, different fans.
Why would anyone interested in Spurs, Gunners etc. give a fuck about Sherrin?

Sherrin has marketed themselves really well. Whenever you see AFL marketing it inevitably includes an AFL ball with the giant Sherrin logo. When the AFL grows, so does Sherrin, so any extra marketing they can do to get people interested overseas opens themselves up to new markets. Looks like they have exclusivity as well, so any overseas leagues are required to use Sherrin products as well.

Thats because they’re the only apparel maker that makes afl balls. It’s like Steeden in NRL or Gilbert in union.

Kookaburra, the brand mostly associated with Cricket, makes AFL balls under the Burley name.
Not sure how widely they’re used but I think it might be one of those Victorian/South Australian stupid rivalry things.
