    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    Having read about the meaning behind it I want to like it but I think the red clashes with the sky blue. Some of the other clubs have come up with some brilliant designs. I understand the significance of the water motif and the NSW sky blue but I still would have loved to see us go with a design in just red and white.

    I love it!

    It's perfect for the Pan Aboriginal Culture-MANgrook round

    Not a fan.
    But as a general rule I'm not a fan of changing jumper designs at all

    It's a wonderful style of art, and definitely one where knowledge helps with its appreciation. One of the greatest days of my life was when an animated Stella Junior, aged about 7 or 8, lead me through the indigenous section of the NMA by the hand, stopping and excitedly telling me the story of each piece of art based on its symbols and paths.

    I like the jumper, kudos to Lisa.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Stella, that's fantastic. Juniors are much better at so many of these things than their elders.

    There was a short item about Adam on Grandstand tonight with a brief shot of him modelling the guernsey with his arm around Lisa. She barely reaches his armpit! I love the way he refers to her as his 'mum'. There is a lot of love and respect there.

    The guernsey looks a lot better in footage than that photoshop job. Much subtler blue.

    I do like the aboriginal style of art, but the jumper is ordinary at best. Not a fan of the blue.
